Syngenta Plesiva Insecticide (Cyantraniliprole 7.3% + Diafenthiuron 36.4% SC)
The "Lock and Block" specialist for controlling Black Thrips, Mites, and Fruit Borers in one shot.
Syngenta Plesiva is a premium, dual-action insecticide designed to solve the toughest problem in modern farming: mixed pest attacks. By combining two powerful chemistries, it handles both sucking pests (like the invasive Black Thrips) and chewing pests (like Fruit Borers) simultaneously. Its advanced "Lock and Block" technology ensures that pests stop feeding within minutes and die shortly after.
Best For: Chilli, Cotton, and Vegetable farmers facing heavy pressure from Thrips, Whiteflies, and Borers.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ?"Lock and Block" Technology: It works in two ways: it Locks the insect's muscles causing paralysis, and Blocks their energy production, leading to total collapse.
- ?Black Thrips Specialist: Highly effective against the invasive Thrips parvispinus crisis in Chilli, protecting flowers from dropping.
- ⚔️Dual Action Control: One spray controls multiple pest types—Sucking pests (Thrips, Mites, Whiteflies) and Chewing pests (Bollworms, Fruit Borers).
- ☁️Vapor Action: It releases a gas that penetrates deep into flower buds and curled leaves, reaching hidden pests that direct sprays often miss.
- ?️Crop Safety (SC Formulation): Unlike harsh solvent-based sprays (EC), this water-based Suspension Concentrate (SC) is gentle on the crop and does not cause leaf burn.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Plesiva uses a synergistic approach to stop pests instantly and ensure they don't recover.
- The "Lock" (Cyantraniliprole): This ingredient binds to the insect's muscles (Ryanodine receptors). It forces the muscles to contract uncontrollably, leading to instant paralysis. The insect stops feeding immediately.
- The "Block" (Diafenthiuron): This ingredient targets the insect's mitochondria (power plant). It shuts down ATP production, effectively cutting off the insect's energy supply.
- Result: The pest is paralyzed on the outside and energy-starved on the inside. Death is inevitable.
Note: This combination is excellent for breaking resistance in pests that have survived other sprays.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Chilli | Black Thrips (T. parvispinus), Yellow Mites, Fruit Borers |
| Cotton | Whiteflies, Thrips, Aphids, Pink Bollworm |
| Vegetables (Tomato/Brinjal) | Leaf Miners, Fruit Borers, Whiteflies |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Use a High Water Volume (500 Liters/Acre recommended) to ensure the "Vapor Action" works effectively.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chilli | 240 - 250 ml | 500 L | 0.5 - 0.6 ml | 5 Days |
| Cotton | 240 - 250 ml | 200 - 300 L | 0.8 - 1.0 ml | 29 Days |
| Vegetables | 240 ml | 500 L | 0.5 ml | 3 - 5 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. The 5-day PHI for Chilli is excellent for picking cycles.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray in the morning or late evening. This product needs sunlight to activate completely, but avoid spraying during peak heat to prevent evaporation.
- Coverage: The chemical Diafenthiuron creates a gas to kill hidden pests. This only works well if the crop is thoroughly wetted. Ensure good canopy coverage.
- Mixing: Do NOT mix with highly alkaline substances (like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulfur). This will destroy the chemical efficacy.
- Safety: Wear full protective gear (gloves, mask, long sleeves). Avoid inhaling the spray mist.
