DORITO Insecticide

PI Dorito (Diafenthiuron 48% + Dinotefuran 8% WG) is a high-potency, broad-spectrum insecticide designed to tackle the most stubborn sucking pest complexes. By combining two powerful active ingredients with different modes of action, it provides a comprehensive solution for farmers facing multi-pest infestations.

Product Overview

• Technical Name: Diafenthiuron 48% + Dinotefuran 8% WG (Water Dispersible Granules)

• Chemical Group: Thiourea + Neonicotinoid (3rd Generation)

• Mode of Action:

  • Diafenthiuron: Acts as an inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP synthase, leading to paralysis and death. It also has strong acaricidal (mite-killing) properties.

  • Dinotefuran: A highly systemic 3rd-generation neonicotinoid that acts on the insect's nervous system, causing rapid feeding cessation.

• Special Features:

  • 3-Way Action: Provides contact, stomach, and vapor action, ensuring pests are reached even in dense foliage.

  • Translaminar Movement: Penetrates the leaf surface to control pests hidden on the underside.

  • Vigor Effect: Enhances the greening of the plant and overall crop health.

Key Benefits

• Knockdown & Long Duration: Dinotefuran provides the "quick kill," while Diafenthiuron ensures long-lasting residual protection.

• Whitefly Specialist: Exceptionally effective against all stages of Whiteflies (nymphs and adults).

• Broad Spectrum: Simultaneously controls Jassids, Thrips, Aphids, and Mites, reducing the need for multiple tank mixes.

• Safe for Beneficials: When used at recommended doses, it has a lower impact on certain predatory insects compared to older chemistries.

Recommended Uses & Dosage

This combination is particularly effective for fiber, vegetable, and fruit crops.

Application Instructions

• Mixing: The WG (Water Dispersible Granule) formulation dissolves easily. Premix the required dose in a small bucket of water before adding it to the spray tank.

• Timing: For best results, apply at the early stage of pest infestation. In Cotton, it is highly recommended during the peak Whitefly window.

• Spray Quality: Ensure thorough coverage of both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves.

Safety Precautions

1. Safety Gear: Always wear a mask, chemical-resistant gloves, and protective clothing during application.

2. Pollinators: Avoid spraying during peak flowering as Dinotefuran can be toxic to bees.

3. Weather: Do not apply if rain is expected within 2 hours or during periods of high wind.

4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in the original packaging, away from children and livestock feed.

5. Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Follow the recommended waiting period (typically 15–20 days for Cotton) to ensure produce safety.
