Dharking is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by Dharmaj Crop Guard Limited, India. It is a water-dispersible powder (WP) formulation containing 15% buprofezin and 35% acephate, two potent insecticides. Buprofezin is a phenylpyrazole insecticide that acts as a contact and stomach poison, disrupting the insect's molting process and causing death. Acephate is an organophosphate insecticide that acts as a contact and systemic poison, disrupting the insect's nervous system and causing paralysis and death. The combination of buprofezin and acephate provides effective control of a wide range of sucking and chewing pests, including lepidopterans (butterflies and moths), coleopterans (beetles), and homopterans (aphids, whiteflies, and jassids).
