Mode of Action
Diafenthiuron is an insecticide and acaricide that works by disrupting the normal functioning of the pests’ nervous systems. It acts as a mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor, blocking the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and disrupting the energy balance in the pests’ cells. As a result, the pests become paralyzed and eventually die.
