General Information:

Dzire is a broad-spectrum insecticide that contains the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole. It is effective against a wide range of insect pests in a variety of crops, including rice, cotton, vegetables, and fruit trees. Dzire is a systemic insecticide with contact and stomach action. It also has ovicidal and larvicidal properties.

Active Ingredient:

• Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC

Mode of Action:

Chlorantraniliprole is a ryanodine receptor activator that disrupts the calcium signaling in insect muscles. This leads to paralysis and death. Chlorantraniliprole is also active against insect eggs and larvae.

Application:

Dzire can be applied as a foliar spray or soil drench. The recommended dose and application method will vary depending on the crop and the insect pest to be controlled. For example, to control bollworms in cotton, Dzire can be applied as a foliar spray at a dose of 200-300 ml per hectare.

Precautions:

• Dzire is a selective insecticide, but it can harm some crops if applied incorrectly. It is important to read and follow the label directions carefully.
• Dzire is not rain fast. Therefore, it should not be applied if rain is expected within 4 hours of application.
• Dzire is toxic to bees and other pollinators. Therefore, it is important to avoid using Dzire during flowering periods when bees are active.

Additional Information:

Dzire is a popular insecticide among farmers in India because it is effective against a wide range of insect pests, including some difficult-to-control pests such as bollworms in cotton and whiteflies in vegetables. It is also relatively safe for crops if used correctly.

However, it is important to note that Dzire is a systemic insecticide, which means that it is absorbed by the plants and translocated to all parts of the plant, including the edible parts. Therefore, it is important to follow the pre-harvest interval (PHI) specified on the label before harvesting the crops.

It is also important to rotate Dzire with other insecticides to prevent the development of resistance in insect pests.
