• Daita inhibits metamorphosis of Nymph to Adult
• Daita causes sterility in adults. Hence even if Adults are seen in Daita treated plot, they cannot reproduce or damage the crops
• Daita can be sprayed at any stage of crop
• Daita controls transmission of Leaf Curl Virus (CLCV) by controlling its vector

• When the population reaches ETL (3-5 Adult per leaf), spray of Daita should be done on the recommended dose
• Long residual control
• Safe for bees and other beneficial insects
• Low toxicity and environment friendly
• No effect on pollination or fruit set

  MODE OF ACTION

  • Daita is a novel juvenile hormone that mimics and acts by suppressing embryogenesis within the insect egg
  • It inhibits metamorphosis and adult emergence of target insects
  • It does not kill adult insects directly but hatching of eggs laid by treated adults will be suppressed
  • Daita regulates the transition from one developmental stage to another
  • Daita artificially enhance the JH level preventing progression to adult stage
  • Daita interferes with the molting hormone and disrupts the normal development of insect
