ADAM

(Diafenthiuron 47.8% SC)

ADAM (Diafenthiuron 47.8% SC) is a selective insecticide developed for effective management of sucking insect pests in agricultural crops. It works primarily by inhibiting feeding activity, causing pests to stop damaging crops shortly after exposure.

The suspension concentrate formulation ensures strong adherence to leaf surfaces and efficient penetration into pest-infested areas, enhancing overall control performance under field conditions.

ADAM is especially useful in managing persistent infestations and helps protect crops during sensitive growth stages when pest pressure is high, supporting healthy crop development when applied as recommended.
