EMAMECTIN BENZOATE + INDOXACARB

Description

Introduction and Mode of Action: This insecticide combines two active ingredients: Emamectin Benzoate (from the avermectin group) and Indoxacarb (from the oxadiazine group).

• Emamectin Benzoate is a non-systemic insecticide (with translaminar activity), primarily acting through ingestion and to a lesser extent by contact. It affects nerve cells, inhibiting muscle contractions (causing paralysis), stopping feeding, and ultimately leading to the insect’s death.
• Indoxacarb is a contact and ingestion insecticide that blocks sodium channels in the insect’s nervous system.

Usage and Application Rates:
