Daksh contains dichlorvos (DDVP), a fast-acting organophosphate insecticide with contact, stomach and fumigant action. It quickly knocks down aphids, caterpillars, borers, leaf miners, thrips and whiteflies on field crops, vegetables and stored-product areas. Its strong penetration helps it reach insects hidden in leaves and stems. For farm use only. NAFDAC warns against using dichlorvos as a household insecticide or on stored food.
