Diafenthiuron is an insecticide and acaricide. It has a low aqueous solubility but is readily soluble in many organic solvents. It is volatile and, based on its chemical properties, it is unlikely to leach to groundwater. It is not persistent in most soil systems but may be very persistent in aquatic systems. It has a low mammalian toxicity but is moderate to highly toxic for most biodiversity including aquatic life, bees and worms.
Application & Function
Insecticide and acaricide effective against phytophagous mites (Tetranychidae, Tarsonemidae), Aleyrodidae, Aphididae and Jassidae on cotton, various field and fruit crops, ornamentals and vegetables. Also controls some leaf-feeding pests in cole crops (Plutella xylostella), soya beans (Anticarsia gemmatalis) and cotton (Alabama argillacea). Applied at 300-500 g/ha. Is safe on adults of all beneficial groups (Anthocoridae, Coccinellidae, Miridae) and on adults and immature stages of predatory mites (Amblyseius andersoni, Typhlodromus pyri), spiders (Erigonidae, Lycosidae), and Chrysopa carnea. Non-selective to immature stages of Heteroptera (Anthocoridae, Miridae). Compatible with the biological control of Aleyrodidae and mites in glasshouses.
