How deffiender + Works

Pyriproxyfen acts as an insect growth regulator by mimicking juvenile hormone activity, disrupting the development and reproduction of whiteflies. Diafenthiuron affects energy production inside insect cells, leading to feeding cessation and gradual pest mortality. Together, these modes of action help suppress pest multiplication and support longer-lasting control under recommended use.
