Parijat Daita Insecticide – Pyriproxyfen 10% EC for Complete Whitefly Management

Parijat Daita is an advanced Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) containing Pyriproxyfen 10% EC. It provides comprehensive control of whitefly by targeting eggs, nymphs, and adults. With proven translaminar action, Daita reaches the underside of leaves, helps break the whitefly life cycle, reduces CLCV (Cotton Leaf Curl Virus) transmission by controlling the vector, and suppresses sooty mold development—resulting in greener, more vigorous plants and better yields.

Technical Information

Key Features & Benefits

• Full life-cycle control: Prevents egg hatching, inhibits nymph→adult metamorphosis, and induces adult sterility.
• Vector management: Helps reduce CLCV transmission by suppressing whitefly populations.
• Translaminar reach: Controls insects on the leaf underside; improves overall efficacy.
• Sooty mold reduction: Limits honeydew-mediated mold by controlling whitefly.
• Phytotonic effect: Promotes greening and supports better crop vigor.
• Fast, lasting results: Visible control typically within 4–5 days with long residual activity.
• IPM friendly: Low mammalian toxicity; safe for bees/beneficials when used as directed.
• Flexible timing: Can be sprayed at any crop stage; best results when applied early (high nymphal load).

Mode of Action (IGR)

• Mimics juvenile hormone to suppress embryogenesis within eggs and block metamorphosis of nymphs.
• Adults exposed may survive but become sterile; eggs laid fail to hatch.
• Regulates transitions between developmental stages, disrupting normal molting and adult emergence.

Method & Time of Application

1. When: Spray at first appearance of whitefly and before Economic Threshold Level (ETL) is exceeded; early morning or late evening is preferred.
2. How: Mix the recommended dose first in ~1/4 of the total water volume under agitation, then top up with the remaining water while stirring.
3. Coverage: Ensure uniform foliar coverage, especially the lower leaf surface.
4. Intervals: Maintain 10–15 days between 1st and 2nd spray; do not exceed two sprays per crop cycle.
