Divinar (Buprofezin 15% + Acephate 35% WP) is a combination insecticide designed to provide complementary activity against target insect pests. Buprofezin acts primarily as an insect growth regulator, disrupting moulting and development, while Acephate provides systemic insecticidal action against susceptible pests. This dual mode of action supports effective pest management when used on registered crops and target pests according to label recommendations.
Dual Mode of Action: Combines insect growth regulation with systemic insecticidal activity.
Growth and Development Disruption: Buprofezin interferes with moulting in susceptible immature insects.
Systemic Activity: Acephate is absorbed and translocated within treated plants.
Complementary Pest Control: Provides different mechanisms of action against susceptible target pests.
Supports Crop Protection: Helps reduce pest pressure when applied at the appropriate pest stage.
Integrated Pest Management: Can be incorporated into a resistance-management programme with suitable insecticides and non-chemical practices.
Mode of Action:
Buprofezin inhibits chitin formation and disrupts insect moulting, while Acephate inhibits acetylcholinesterase, impairing nerve transmission and causing paralysis and death in susceptible insects.
