Patang (Tolfenpyrad 15% EC) – Product Overview
Patang is a broad-spectrum, high-performance insecticide containing the active ingredient Tolfenpyrad (15% EC). It belongs to the pyrazole chemical class and is renowned for its multi-action capabilities. It doesn't just kill on contact; it acts as an insecticide, miticide, and fungicide (against certain mildews), making it a versatile tool for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Key Features & Mode of Action
Broad Spectrum Control: Highly effective against a wide range of sucking pests (thrips, jassids, aphids) and chewing pests (caterpillars, DBM).
Mitochondrial Electron Transport Inhibitor (METI): It works by inhibiting the energy production within the pest's cells, leading to rapid paralysis and death.
Anti-Feeding Effect: Pests stop feeding almost immediately after exposure, providing instant crop protection even before the pest dies.
Ovicidal Action: It is effective against the egg stage of several insect species, breaking the life cycle.
Recommended Uses on Various Crops
Patang is particularly effective in high-value vegetable and fruit crops where pest resistance is a common challenge.

Benefits to the Farmer
Resistance Management: Excellent for controlling pests that have developed resistance to older chemistries like organophosphates or pyrethroids.
Weather Stability: Once dried on the leaf surface, it offers good rain-fastness.
One-Shot Solution: Since it targets multiple types of pests (insects + mites) and even some fungal pathogens, it reduces the need for multiple tank mixes.
Vibrant Crop Growth: By providing clean, pest-free foliage, it allows the plant to reach its full photosynthetic potential.
Application Guidelines
Timing: Apply at the first appearance of pests. For crops like Chilli and Cabbage, early intervention ensures better yield quality.
Water Volume: Use sufficient water (approx. 200 liters per acre) to ensure thorough coverage of the foliage, especially the undersides of leaves.
Safety: Always wear protective clothing (gloves, masks) during application and avoid spraying during active honeybee foraging or extreme mid-day heat.
Note: Always read the product label for specific local recommendations and safety periods (waiting period before harvest) as they vary by crop and region.
