500 ml package
  • Thiacloprid + Deltamethrin 11% OD – 500 ml

    A 500-ml dual-action insecticide formulated as an Oil Dispersion (OD). This product combines two powerful active ingredients from two different chemical groups, providing broad-spectrum control against key agricultural pests.

Mode of Action

This insecticide acts through contact and ingestion and also has systemic activity.
It contains:

  • Thiacloprid (a neonicotinoid) – affects nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect’s central nervous system, disrupting nerve transmission.

  • Deltamethrin (a pyrethroid) – interferes with voltage-gated sodium channels along the nerve cord, causing paralysis and death.

The combination provides rapid knockdown and long-lasting control while delaying resistance development.

Uses

In Iran, this product is used to control:

  • Onion thrips

  • Whiteflies in cucurbits
