Pager (Diafenthiuron 50% WP) belongs to a unique chemical group, enabling control of insects and mites resistant to major chemical classes like OPs and pyrethroids. It controls nymphs and adults, providing long-lasting control. Pager degrades into a urea derivative with a phytotonic effect, and its selectivity to beneficial insects makes it suitable for IPM programs.
Pager is a pro-insecticide, requiring conversion to its active form. The active compound targets energy-producing enzymes in the mitochondria, causing immediate paralysis upon ingestion or contact.
