Technical Name -  Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG

Mode of Action:

• Chloride channel activator.
• Acts on nerve cells to suppress muscle contraction, causing a continuous flow of Chlorine ions in the GABA and H-Glutamate receptor sites.
• The insect is paralyzed and stops feeding.

Benefits:

• It acts on the nerve cells within hours to suppress muscle contraction thus inhibiting the larvae from feeding, providing rapid crop protection.
• It controls larvae of a whole range of insects primarily by ingestion but also affects contact activity. Its activity is fast as it kills the larvae while it's still inside the egg, increasing residual activity.
• It lacks intrinsic toxicity and a mode of action is mainly via ingestion rather than contact activity, hence it's considered biologically selective for some beneficial species
• Ecologically selective to a wide range of beneficial species due to the rapid breakdown of the active ingredient thus limiting contact activity to a very short period.
• It has a unique physiological mode of action, reducing the possibility of cross-resistance to other chemicals.
• Stops Lepidopterans feeding within hours of ingestion, preventing subsequent crop damage.
• It is currently the most potent active ingredient available against key lepidopteran pests, providing the highest efficacy at the lowest rates.

Dosage - 40- 80 gm/acre in 200 liters of water
