General Information

Cimax is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by UPL Limited in India. It is a combination product containing two active ingredients: pyriproxyfen 5% and diafenthiuron 25% SE. Cimax is effective against a wide range of pests, including sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and jassids. Cimax is available in a suspension emulsion (SE) formulation.

Mode of Action

Pyriproxyfen is a juvenile hormone mimic (JHM) insecticide that works by disrupting the insect's molting process. It causes the insect's larvae to die during molting, preventing them from reaching adulthood.

Diafenthiuron is a benzoylurea insecticide that works by disrupting the insect's chitin synthesis. Chitin is a hard outer shell that protects insects from the environment. Without chitin, insects are unable to molt and eventually die.

Application

Cimax can be applied to crops using a variety of application methods, including foliar spraying, soil application, and seed treatment. The recommended dose varies depending on the target pest and the crop being treated.

Precautions

Cimax is a moderately toxic insecticide. It is important to follow all safety precautions when handling and applying this product. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, long sleeves, pants, and a respirator. Do not apply Cimax to crops in bloom, as this can harm bees and other beneficial insects.

Disclaimer

Please always read and follow the instructions on the product label before using any pesticide.
