FAQs for GSP Yamraz (Tolfenpyrad 15% EC) Insecticide :
1. What is Yamraz, and how does it protect crops?
Ans. Yamraz contains Tolfenpyrad, a contact insecticide that inhibits the mitochondrial complex I in pests—blocking their energy production to cause paralysis and death. It also has antifeedant properties and is effective across all life stages of pests.
2. Which pests and crops benefit from its use?
Ans. Used across vegetables, fruits, and field crops, Yamraz effectively controls aphids, thrips, leafhoppers, diamondback moth caterpillars, scale insects, and even some fungal issues.
3. How fast does Yamraz act?
Ans. It offers rapid knockdown, often within 1–3 hours. While primarily contact-based, it also shows poor systemic activity, providing brief protection through plant uptake.
4. Is Yamraz effective against resistant insects?
Ans. Yes. Its unique mitochondrial site of action means Yamraz does not exhibit cross-resistance with older insecticide groups, making it ideal for integrated resistance management.
5. How should Yamraz be used to ensure safety and efficacy?
Ans.
- Apply when pests begin to appear—preventive use is best.
- Ensure even spray coverage, and do not overdose.
- Follow label instructions carefully, especially regarding buffer zones and spray drift mitigation.
6. Is Yamraz safe for the environment and operators?
Ans.
- Aquatic toxicity: Highly toxic to fish and invertebrates—avoid contamination of waterbodies.
- Pollinators: Highly toxic to bees—avoid application during flowering or when honeybees are active.
- Use PPE during handling and application.

7. How persistent is Yamraz in the environment?
Ans.
- Soil half-life (aerobic): ~14–15 days (anaerobic): 217 days.
- Hydrolysis in neutral pH: Very slow (half-life ~693 days)—indicating potential persistence in water.
