Stalin (Anu Products Limited) (Buprofezin 70% DF) is an insecticide developed by Anu Products Limited for the control of sucking pests such as jassids, whiteflies, and aphids. It is a dispersible powder (DF) formulation containing 70% buprofezin.

Mode of action: Buprofezin is a chitin synthesis inhibitor insecticide. It works by interfering with the production of chitin, a major component of the insect exoskeleton. This prevents the insect from molting and developing into the next stage, leading to death.

Dosage and application: The recommended dosage of Stalin varies depending on the crop and target pest. For most crops, the recommended dosage is 110-150 grams per hectare. Stalin should be applied as a foliar spray using a conventional sprayer.
