General Information:
Manzo is a broad-spectrum insecticide that contains the active ingredients pyriproxifen and diafenthiuron. It is effective against a wide range of insect pests in a variety of crops, including cotton, rice, vegetables, and fruit trees. Manzo is a non-systemic insecticide with contact and stomach action. It also has ovicidal and larvicidal properties.
Active Ingredients:
- Pyriproxifen 5%
- Diafenthiuron 25%
Mode of Action:
Pyriproxifen is a juvenile hormone mimic that disrupts the insect's growth and development. Diafenthiuron is a chitin synthesis inhibitor that prevents the insect from forming a new exoskeleton.
Application:
Manzo 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, Manzo can be applied as a foliar spray at a dose of 250-350 ml per hectare.
Precautions:
- Manzo is a selective insecticide, but it can harm some crops if applied incorrectly. It is important to read and follow the label directions carefully.
- Manzo is not rain fast. Therefore, it should not be applied if rain is expected within 4 hours of application.
- Manzo is toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Therefore, it should not be applied near water bodies.

Additional Information:
Manzo 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 Manzo is a non-systemic insecticide, which means that it does not penetrate the plant tissues. Therefore, it is important to spray the entire plant, including the underside of the leaves, to ensure effective control of insect pests.
It is also important to rotate Manzo with other insecticides to prevent the development of resistance in insect pests.
