PI Keefun is a unique and innovative "dual-action" solution containing Tolfenpyrad 15% EC. It is highly distinctive in the market because it acts as both a powerful broad-spectrum insecticide and an effective fungicide, providing comprehensive protection against a variety of pests and diseases simultaneously.

Product Overview

  • Technical Name: Tolfenpyrad 15% EC

  • Chemical Group: Pyrazole

  • Mode of Action:

    • Insecticidal: It inhibits the mitochondrial electron transport system (Complex I), leading to a total energy shutdown in the target pest. It works through contact and stomach action.

    • Fungicidal: It prevents the development of certain fungal pathogens by interfering with their energy production.

  • Special Features:

    • Antifeedant Action: Insects stop feeding immediately after contact, preventing further crop damage.

    • Ovicidal Effect: Effective at killing the eggs of various pests, preventing population explosions.

    • Broad Spectrum: Targets a wide array of sucking pests, caterpillars, and fungal issues in a single application.


Key Benefits

  • Versatility: One product manages multiple problems—thrips, diamondback moths, and powdery mildew—all at once.

  • Resistance Management: Due to its unique mode of action, it is an excellent tool for controlling pests and diseases that have developed resistance to conventional chemistries.

  • Crop Vigor: Improves the overall health and "greenness" of the plant, leading to better yield quality.

  • Safety: Safe for the crop when used at recommended dosages and has a relatively favorable environmental profile.

Application Instructions

  • Water Volume: For foliar spray, use 200 litres of water per acre to ensure thorough and uniform coverage of the canopy.

  • Timing: Apply at the early appearance of pests or diseases. For Diamondback Moth in cabbage, it is most effective when applied at the 1st or 2nd instar larval stages.

  • Method: Use a fine mist spray, ensuring that the undersides of the leaves are well-covered.

Safety Precautions

  1. Protective Gear: Always wear protective clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, and a face mask while mixing and spraying.

  2. Pollinators: Keefun is toxic to bees. Avoid spraying during the active flowering period to protect local pollinators.

  3. Weather Conditions: Avoid spraying during high-velocity winds or if rain is expected within 2-4 hours.

  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, ventilated place, strictly out of reach of children and far from food and animal feed.

  5. Waiting Period (PHI): Strictly observe the Pre-Harvest Interval (ranging from 5 to 15 days depending on the crop) to maintain food safety standards.
