Tatafen (Rallis India Limited) is a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide that contains 50% EC of the active ingredient Propargite. Propargite is a miticide and acaricide that works by inhibiting the production of chitin, a major component of the insect exoskeleton. This leads to the death of the insect.

Tatafen is effective against a wide range of pests, including sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and thrips, as well as chewing pests such as caterpillars and beetles. It is also effective against mites and ticks. Tatafen has a contact and translaminar action, which means that it kills insects when they come into contact with it or when they ingest it. It also has a residual activity of up to 10 days, which means that it remains active on the plant surface for a period of time after application. This makes it an ideal choice for controlling pests in a wide range of crops, including paddy, cotton, vegetables, and fruits.
