Overview

PLESIVA® is an advanced combination insecticide from Syngenta India Ltd. formulated with Cyantraniliprole and Diafenthiuron.

The combination brings together two complementary modes of action. Cyantraniliprole belongs to the anthranilic diamide group and acts on insect ryanodine receptors, while Diafenthiuron is a thiourea insecticide that acts primarily through contact and metabolic disruption.

This combination provides broad-spectrum protection against several economically important sucking and chewing pests.

About the Product

PLESIVA is designed to provide broad-spectrum insect control through the complementary activity of Cyantraniliprole and Diafenthiuron.

Cyantraniliprole

Cyantraniliprole is an anthranilic diamide insecticide that affects ryanodine receptors in insects. This disrupts calcium regulation in muscle cells, resulting in feeding cessation, paralysis and eventual insect death.

Diafenthiuron

Diafenthiuron provides contact activity against susceptible insect stages and interferes with cellular energy production, contributing to insect mortality.

The combination is particularly useful where crops are affected by multiple pest groups simultaneously.

Key Features

• Contains Cyantraniliprole 7.3% + Diafenthiuron 36.4% w/w SC.
• Combines two complementary insecticidal chemistries.
• Broad-spectrum pest control.
• Controls important sucking pests.
• Controls selected chewing pests.
• Provides contact activity.
• Provides translaminar activity.
• Helps reach pests present on the underside of leaves.
• Helps control multiple insect stages.
• Suitable for cotton and chilli according to published recommendations.
• Convenient suspension-concentrate formulation.
• Available in 125 ml, 250 ml and 625 ml packs.

Recommended Crops & Target Pests

Published product information lists 500 L/ha spray volume for these recommendations.

Cotton

PLESIVA can help manage important cotton pests including:

• Jassids
• Whitefly
• Thrips
• Aphids
• Pink Bollworm

Chilli

• Thrips
• Mites
• Whitefly
• Fruit Borer

Always verify the current product label before application because registered crop-pest combinations and directions can change.

Application Guidelines

Application Method

Apply PLESIVA as a foliar spray using suitable spraying equipment.

Ensure good coverage of the crop canopy, especially the underside of leaves where sucking pests may be present.

Reference Dose

250 ml/acre

The published recommendation uses approximately 500 litres of water per hectare.

Application Procedure

1. Fill the spray tank partially with clean water.
2. Measure the recommended quantity of PLESIVA.
3. Add the product to the tank while maintaining agitation.
4. Add the remaining water.
5. Mix thoroughly.
6. Spray uniformly across the crop canopy.
7. Avoid excessive runoff.

Best Application Stage

Apply PLESIVA when target pests are present at susceptible stages or when pest populations approach the recommended economic threshold.

For best results:

• Monitor the crop regularly.
• Identify the pest correctly.
• Apply at early infestation.
• Ensure good spray coverage.
• Avoid unnecessary repeated applications.

Mode of Action

Cyantraniliprole – IRAC Group 28

Cyantraniliprole activates ryanodine receptor channels in insect muscle cells.

This causes uncontrolled release of calcium within muscle cells, resulting in:

Feeding cessation → Muscle dysfunction → Paralysis → Insect death

It is particularly active against several chewing and sucking pests.

Diafenthiuron – IRAC Group 12A

Diafenthiuron interferes with mitochondrial respiration and energy production in susceptible insects.

It provides primarily contact activity, contributing to rapid pest suppression.
