WDG Formulation

WDG formulation ensures superior handling, dispersibility, and application precision.

WDG (Water-Dispersible Granules) are solid, free-flowing granules that disperse or dissolve in water to form a suspension. Key formulation advantages:

• Dust-free and safe to handle
• Excellent suspension and dispersion in water
• Uniform spray distribution with no clogging
• Compatible with most spraying equipment
• Stable under storage and environmental conditions
• Reduced chemical waste and application residue

Water-Dispersible Granules (WDG) are among the most advanced pesticide formulations for field use. Unlike wettable powders, WDGs are dust-free, reducing inhalation risk and product loss during mixing. Once mixed with water, the granules disperse completely into a stable suspension that flows easily through sprayers without clogging. WDGs offer uniform distribution on crop foliage and soil, making them ideal for systemic and contact insecticides. The stability of WDG ensures reduced degradation during storage and use, while minimizing residue concerns and maximizing coverage efficiency. For large-scale agriculture and precision pest management, this formulation guarantees performance without compromising safety.

Active Ingredient

Nitenpyram – Rapid Insecticidal Action

Nitenpyram offers fast, powerful pest knockdown through neural disruption.

Nitenpyram is a synthetic neonicotinoid insecticide with strong systemic properties. Once applied, it is rapidly absorbed by plant tissues and translocated throughout the crop, ensuring protection of both treated and emerging foliage. It targets insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, disrupting nerve signal transmission, causing hyperexcitation, paralysis, and death. Its efficacy is most notable against nymph and adult stages of leafhoppers, aphids, and whiteflies. Within a few hours of application, treated insects cease feeding and begin to die, significantly reducing crop damage and viral disease transmission.

• Belongs to the neonicotinoid class
• Provides contact and stomach poison effects
• Systemically translocated throughout plant tissues
• Effective against aphids, leafhoppers, and whiteflies
• Rapid action—kills insects within hours of ingestion

Pymetrozine – Long-Lasting Feeding Inhibition

Pymetrozine disrupts pest feeding, leading to starvation and pest population collapse.

Pymetrozine acts through a novel biochemical pathway by interfering with the salivary pump mechanism in sap-sucking insects, effectively stopping their ability to ingest plant fluids. This unique mode of action means pests stop feeding shortly after exposure, even if mortality is delayed. Pymetrozine is highly selective for Hemiptera, including aphids, planthoppers, and whiteflies, while sparing beneficial predatory insects and pollinators. With a long residual effect on treated foliage, it prevents re-infestation and suppresses pest population resurgence, supporting sustainable integrated pest management (IPM) programs.

• Belongs to the pyridine azomethine class
• Targets Hemiptera such as aphids, whiteflies, planthoppers
• Causes immediate cessation of feeding after contact or ingestion
• Safe to beneficial insects and predatory organisms
• High residual efficacy with low resistance risk

Mode of Action: Complementary Insect Control

Two modes of action ensure both quick mortality and extended protection.

This formulation combines the fast-acting neurotoxic effect of Nitenpyram with the unique anti-feeding mechanism of Pymetrozine to deliver a comprehensive approach to pest control. The dual-action strategy not only expands the spectrum of control but also provides an effective resistance management tool. While Nitenpyram provides a rapid kill of existing pest populations, Pymetrozine ensures that any surviving insects cannot feed or reproduce, leading to a collapse in future generations. This synergy is especially useful in areas with high resistance pressure.

• Nitenpyram: Binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in insect neurons, causing overstimulation, paralysis, and rapid death.
• Pymetrozine: Inhibits feeding behavior by blocking the salivary mechanisms essential for sap ingestion, leading to starvation.

This combination delivers a one-two punch—first knocking down existing populations, then inhibiting survivors from feeding and reproducing. This dual mechanism is effective against multiple insect stages and significantly delays the onset of resistance, extending the product’s useful life in rotation schemes.

Key Advantages & Selling Points

• Effective on Multiple Life Stages: Controls nymphs and adult pests
• Fast Knockdown: Immediate action from Nitenpyram minimizes crop damage
• Long Residual Activity: Pymetrozine protects for extended periods after application
• Resistance Management: Dual chemistry delays pest resistance development
• Crop Compatibility: Safe for use on rice, vegetables, citrus, cotton, and ornamentals
• Cost-Effective: Reduces need for multiple applications and different pesticide types
• Environmental Compatibility: Low toxicity to mammals, birds, and non-target beneficials

Application Recommendations

Use tailored doses for specific crops and pest infestation stages.

When using POMAIS Nitenpyram + Pymetrozine 80% WDG, it’s essential to adapt the dosage based on crop type, pest intensity, and environmental conditions. For rice crops, apply 5–10 grams per acre during the peak of planthopper nymph activity. This timing is critical as younger nymphs are more susceptible to systemic action. In horticultural crops like lilies or tomatoes, apply 6–10 grams per acre at the first sign of aphid activity. Uniform coverage is vital, so use high-volume sprayers and ensure thorough wetting of foliage and stems. Avoid spraying during rain or high temperatures, which can reduce efficacy or cause phytotoxicity.

Crop	Target Pest	Dosage	Application Timing	Max Applications
Rice	Rice planthopper	5–10 g/acre	At peak of nymph population	2 per season
Lily	Aphids	6–10 g/acre	At early signs of infestation	1 per season

• Apply with high-volume sprayers for optimal coverage
• Use sufficient water to ensure even distribution on leaves and stems
• Avoid spraying during extreme heat or rain

Precautions & Safety Measures

Strict adherence ensures user safety and environmental protection.

Operators should always wear long-sleeved protective clothing, rubber gloves, goggles, and a respirator when handling or spraying this product. As Nitenpyram is moderately toxic to aquatic organisms and Pymetrozine can impact non-target insects under overuse, it’s essential to avoid drift or runoff into natural water bodies. Do not spray during flowering to protect pollinators, and keep away from beekeeping zones. Empty packaging must be triple-rinsed and punctured before disposal. Never reuse containers. Products should be kept out of reach of children and stored in their original, clearly labeled packaging.

• Wear protective gear (long-sleeves, gloves, goggles, respirator) during mixing and application
• Avoid use in pollinator zones and during flowering periods
• Do not apply in silkworm rearing areas or near aquaculture
• Avoid water source contamination; do not clean equipment in rivers or ponds
• Store in original packaging; keep sealed and labeled
• Keep away from children and unauthorized persons
• Pregnant and breastfeeding individuals should not handle the product

First Aid Measures

Immediate and informed response reduces health risks.
