Katyayani Ditox | Diflubenzuron 25% WP | Insecticide

Katyayani Ditox contains Diflubenzuron 25% WP, a urea-derived insecticide known for its unique mode of action. It is designed to selectively control insect larvae and parasites in various applications, including public health programs and agriculture.

Key Features:

• Innovative Mode of Action: Diflubenzuron disrupts chitin formation during the moulting process of insect larvae, effectively controlling their development.
• Target Insects: This product is effective against a range of pests, including gypsy moths, forest tent caterpillars, boll weevils, and various other insect species like sciara flies, armyworms, leafminers, whiteflies, termites, fungus gnats, and shore flies.
• Safety Profile: It has low toxicity to mammals and is relatively safe for birds and algae, although it is moderately toxic to fish, honeybees, and earthworms, and more toxic to aquatic invertebrates.
• Environmental Considerations: Diflubenzuron is not expected to leach into groundwater and is not persistent in soil, though it may remain in water under certain conditions.

Recommended Uses:

• Public Health: Effective for mosquito larval control under government health programs, applicable in both clean and polluted water environments.
• Agricultural Use: Suitable for forest and field crops, offering selective control over targeted insect species.
• Domestic Applications: Safe for home gardens, terrace gardens, nurseries, horticulture, and indoor plants.
