How Diazinon Works: Disrupting Insect Nervous Systems

Diazinon is not just a surface killer—it targets the core nervous system of insects. Once an insect comes into contact with or ingests Diazinon, it inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), leading to a buildup of acetylcholine in the nervous system. This causes uncontrollable nerve firing, muscle paralysis, and ultimately death. The process is rapid, especially in soft-bodied insects like aphids and grubs, making Diazinon highly effective even in early-stage infestations.

As a contact and stomach poison, Diazinon acts on treated surfaces and within ingested plant tissue, providing dual protection against aboveground and soil-dwelling pests. While it is non-systemic (not absorbed into plant vascular systems), its residual activity on leaves and in soil ensures extended control for 1–2 weeks, depending on conditions like soil type and moisture.

Target Pests and Crops

Diazinon’s broad-spectrum efficacy covers a wide range of pests across diverse crops:

Aboveground Pests: Aphids, cutworms, whiteflies, apple beetles, leafminers.
Soil Pests: Grubs, wireworms, root maggots, termites (in soil treatments).
Livestock Parasites: Bovine tumor fly larvae, ticks, lice (veterinary applications).

Key Crop Applications:

Crop	Target Pests	Formulation	Dosage	Application Method
Rice	Stem borers (Chilo suppressalis)	600g/L EC	1350–1800 ml/ha	Foliar spray at early infestation
Cotton	Aphids, cutworms	50% EC	1200–2400 ml/ha	Uniform foliar coverage
Peanut	Grubs, soil beetle larvae	5% GR	12,000–18,000 g/ha	Broadcast and light irrigation
Atractylodes	Cutworms	5% GR	30,000–45,000 g/ha	Pre-plant soil broadcasting
Wheat	Wireworms, underground pests	50% EC	Varies by pest density	Soil-directed spray

Livestock and Veterinary Use

In animal health, Diazinon is used under veterinary supervision to control external parasites:

Cattle: Injectable or pour-on solutions for tumor fly larvae (Hypoderma bovis).
Sheep/Goats: Sprays or dips for ticks and lice, ensuring minimal stress to animals.

Formulations and Custom Solutions

Diazinon is available in multiple formulations to suit diverse needs:

Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC):
- 600g/L EC: High-concentration for foliar sprays, ideal for quick knockdown of aboveground pests.
- Mixed Formulations:
  - Abamectin + Diazinon: Enhanced control for chewing/sucking pests.
  - Phoxim + Diazinon: Dual-organophosphate blends for resistance management.
Granular Formulations (GR):
- 5% GR: For soil-applied control of grubs and root pests, activated by moisture for residual soil activity.
- Custom Blends: Combinations with clothianidin or fosthiazate for broader spectrum and nematode control.

OEM and Private Label Services:

Custom packaging (100ml–200L), multilingual labels, and anti-counterfeit tracking.
Regulatory support for global markets (COA, SDS, TDS documentation).

Safety and Environmental Considerations

Human/Livestock Safety: Low mammalian toxicity when used as directed; always wear PPE (gloves, goggles) during handling. Avoid contact with food, feed, or water sources.
Environmental Impact: Highly toxic to aquatic life; avoid application near water bodies. Dispose of containers properly and follow local hazardous waste regulations.
Storage: Cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas, away from direct sunlight and ignition sources.

Resistance Management and IPM Compatibility

As an organophosphate (HRAC Group 1B), Diazinon complements modern IPM strategies:

Rotation: Alternate with non-organophosphate classes (e.g., neonicotinoids, pyrethroids).
Tank Mixes: Combine with abamectin or clothianidin to target multiple pest species and reduce resistance risk.
Timing: Apply at early pest stages for optimal efficacy and minimal environmental impact.
