Proxy (Profenofos 40% + Fenpyroximate 2.5% EC)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Paidavaar Proxy is a dual-action emulsifiable concentrate (EC) combining an organophosphate insecticide and a selective acaricide.

• Profenofos (40% w/w): An organophosphate compound providing contact and stomach action that disrupts the pest's nervous system by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase.
• Fenpyroximate (2.5% w/w): A selective acaricide that inhibits mitochondrial electron transport (cellular respiration) in mites across multiple developmental stages.

MODE OF ACTION

(Paidavaar Proxy) works through a dual mode of action combining an organophosphate insecticide and a mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor acaricide.

Profenofos (40%):

• Acts as an organophosphate insecticide with contact and stomach action.
• Inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the insect's nervous system.
• This causes acetylcholine to accumulate at nerve synapses, leading to continuous nerve overstimulation, paralysis, and death of chewing and sucking insects (such as thrips, borers, and caterpillars) as well as neonate larvae.

Fenpyroximate (2.5%):

• Acts as a selective acaricide (METI group - Mitochondrial Electron Transport Inhibitor).
• Inhibits mitochondrial electron transport (specifically Complex I), cutting off cellular energy (ATP) production in phytophagous mites.
• Effective against various developmental stages of mites (such as red spider mites, yellow mites, and broad mites).

KEY FEATURE AND BENEFITS

• Dual-Action Control: Targets both insect pests (such as thrips, aphids, jassids, whiteflies, fruit and shoot borers, and bollworms) and phytophagous mites simultaneously.
• Quick Knockdown: Delivers rapid action upon contact to minimize immediate crop damage.
• Translaminar Activity: Penetrates leaf tissues to kill pests residing on both the upper and lower surfaces of leaves.
• Neonate Larvae Control: Offers high effectiveness against newly hatched (neonate) larvae, reducing overall pest population growth.
• Resistance Management: Combining two distinct modes of action helps prevent or delay pest resistance compared to single-ingredient sprays.
• Long-Lasting Residual Effect: Provides extended protection, reducing the frequency of repeat applications.

USES AND TARGET PESTS

It is a dual-action broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide used primarily to control mites, thrips, and fruit/shoot borers in crops like chili, brinjal, cotton, and soybean.

TARGET PESTS

• Mites: Red spider mites, yellow mites, broad mites, and other phytophagous/resistant mites.
• Sucking Pests: Thrips, aphids, jassids, and whiteflies.
• Caterpillars & Borers: Fruit and shoot borers, neonate larvae, and bollworm complexes.

TARGATED CROPS

Chilli, Cotton, Brinjal, Okra, Tea, Apple, Grapes, Vegetables, Tomato, and Other crops as per local agricultural recommendations and label directions.

DOSES

• Per Liter of Water: 2 ml/liter
• Per Acre: 300 to 400 ml/acre (depending on the crop and pest intensity)
