FAQs – PI Dorito (Diafenthiuron 48% + Dinotefuran 8% WG) :
1. What makes Dorito effective against both sucking and chewing pests?
Ans. Dorito combines dual modes of action for superior pest control:
- Diafenthiuron disrupts mitochondrial respiration by inhibiting ATP production, causing pest paralysis and death.
- Dinotefuran is a neonicotinoid that targets the insect nervous system, blocking nerve signals and leading to rapid knockdown.
- Together, they offer both contact and systemic control over a wide range of pests.
2. Which pests and crops is Dorito recommended for?
Ans. Ideal for a broad pest spectrum including:
- Sucking pests: aphids, whiteflies, thrips, jassids
- Chewing pests: stem borers, leaf folders
- Recommended crops include paddy, cotton, vegetables, pulses, oilseeds, and more.
3. Is it effective against resistant pest populations?
Ans. Yes. Dorito’s dual action formula makes it highly effective even for pest populations that have developed resistance to other insecticides.
4. How do I mix and apply Dorito for best results?
Ans.
- Mixing: Use 1.5 g per liter of water or 25 g in a 15 L knapsack.
- Field application: Broadcast 250 g per acre uniformly.
- Ensure proper coverage and follow label instructions.
5. What benefits will farmers notice quickly after spraying?
Ans.
- Rapid knockdown of pests due to systemic action
- Extended residual control from durable formulation
- Overall crop health improvement and potential yield boost
6. Are there environmental or safety considerations to note?
Ans.
- Diafenthiuron persists longer in soil and aquatic systems but degrades into less harmful metabolites over time. While lowly water soluble, it may still accumulate.
- Dinotefuran is highly toxic to bees and aquatic organisms due to its systemic activity.
- Use with caution—particularly around water bodies and during flowering when pollinators are active.
7. How does Dorito fit into your resistance management strategy?
Ans. Its dual mode of action supports rotation with other insecticide classes—minimizing resistance risk and enhancing long-term efficacy.
