Katyayani Ditox is an innovative insecticide containing Diflubenzuron 25% WP, a urea-derived compound known for its unique mode of action. This formulation effectively targets and controls insect larvae by interfering with the formation of chitin during the molting process. Ideal for forest and field crops, it selectively controls pests like gypsy moths, armyworms, leafminers, and whiteflies. It’s also safe for use in home gardens, nurseries, and large agricultural applications. Katyayani Ditox is moderately toxic to aquatic invertebrates but relatively safe for birds, algae, and mammals, making it an excellent choice for targeted pest control.

Specifications:

Key Features:

1. Innovative Formula: Contains Diflubenzuron 25% WP, a urea-derived insecticide that selectively targets insect larvae.
2. Unique Mode of Action: Interferes with chitin formation during molting, leading to effective pest control.
3. Low Mammalian Toxicity: Safe for use around humans and animals with minimal risk.
4. Environmentally Safe: Relatively non-toxic to birds and algae; moderately toxic to aquatic invertebrates.
5. Versatile Application: Suitable for use in forestry, agriculture, home gardens, nurseries, and indoor plants.
6. Government-Approved: Recommended by the Government of India for mosquito larva control under public health programs.

Mode of Action:

• Katyayani Ditox works by disrupting the formation of chitin, a vital component of insect exoskeletons, during the molting process. This leads to the inability of larvae to properly shed their skins, halting their development and ultimately controlling pest populations.
