General Information:

Derby is a broad-spectrum insecticide that effectively controls a wide range of pests, including whiteflies, aphids, jassids, thrips, diamondback moth (DBM), mites, and whiteflies. It exhibits efficacy against both nymphs and adults, providing long-lasting control. Derby is selective to beneficial insects, making it an ideal choice for integrated pest management (IPM) programs.

Active Ingredient:

Diafenthiuron 50% WP

Mode of Action:

Derby works by inhibiting the synthesis of chitin, a crucial component of the insect's exoskeleton. This disruption of chitin synthesis leads to molting and growth abnormalities, ultimately causing the death of the pest.

Application:

Derby can be applied as a foliar spray or soil drench. It is compatible with most other insecticides and fungicides.

Precautions:

  • Wear protective clothing and equipment, including gloves, goggles, and a mask, when handling Derby.

  • Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.

  • Do not apply Derby near water bodies or where there is a risk of runoff.

  • Follow the recommended dosage and application instructions carefully.

  • Store Derby in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

  • Keep Derby out of reach of children and pets.

Doses:

The recommended dose of Derby is 600 gm/Ha. However, the specific dose may vary depending on the target pest and crop. Always refer to the product label for accurate dosage instructions.
