Dunky Insecticide – Buprofezin 22.5% + Diafenthiuron 27% for Cotton

Dunky Insecticide (Buprofezin 22.5% + Diafenthiuron 27% SC ) for Cotton

Dunky Insecticide is a broad-spectrum insecticide formulated with Buprofezin 22.5% + Diafenthiuron 27% w/v SC, designed for the effective management of important sucking pests in cotton. It provides reliable control of Jassids, Thrips and Whiteflies, which can affect cotton plant growth, leaf health and crop development when populations increase.

Dunky combines the different modes of action of Buprofezin and Diafenthiuron to provide effective cotton pest management. Buprofezin works as an insect growth regulator, while Diafenthiuron provides contact and stomach action against insect pests. This combination helps reduce pest populations and protect the cotton crop from sucking-pest damage.
