Difluvek 48 SC
IGR-group larvicide with 48% active ingredient that controls mosquito and housefly larvae by inhibiting chitin synthesis.
Product description
Difluvek 48 SC is a larvicide in the IGR (insect growth regulator) group, formulated to control mosquito and housefly larvae. It acts on larvae through ingestion.
The product inhibits chitin synthesis during the moulting stage, blocking the formation of the exoskeleton. As a result, larvae die before they can develop into pupae, preventing the reproduction of mosquitoes, sandflies and houseflies.
The SC formulation contains 48% active ingredient and, as a suspension concentrate, is easily diluted in water for application.
Application: For housefly larvae control with a knapsack sprayer, 1 litre of product is made up to 959 litres of water; the mixture is applied at about 1 litre per square metre at a dose of 0.5 g a.i./m², and the treatment is repeated every 30 days.
