Indoxacarb + Emamectin Benzoate
is a classic insecticide combination that is highly effective, broad-spectrum, and significantly effective against highly resistant pests.
It combines two agents with different mechanisms of action to specifically target “difficult-to-treat” and “older-stage resistant pests.”
Core advantages: Rapid knockdown + thorough eradication + long-lasting protection.
Emamectin Benzoate (a potent paralyzing agent): Primarily acts on chloride ion channels in nerves.
It causes the nerve cells of pests to lose function, leading to an immediate cessation of feeding within about one minute of exposure (even if they are not dead, they will no longer harm the crop), and irreversible paralysis. This process typically takes 3-4 days to reach peak mortality.
Indoxacarb (a potent blocking agent): Primarily acts on sodium ion channels in nerves. After ingestion, it immediately blocks nerve transmission, leading to disorientation, systemic paralysis, and death usually within 4 hours.
Main Targets
This combination has a broad insecticidal spectrum, and is particularly effective against the following stubborn pests:
Main Targets: Various difficult-to-control lepidopteran pests, especially older larvae and boring pests that have developed resistance to common pesticides.
Rice: Rice leaf roller, rice stem borer, and rice leaf roller.
Vegetables: Diamondback moth, beet armyworm, cotton bollworm, and tobacco budworm.
Fruit trees/Others: Leaf roller, corn borer, corn borer, and fall armyworm.
Features
1. Rapid Action: Pests are usually poisoned and stop feeding within minutes to one hour after application. Visible death can be seen in as little as four hours, with peak mortality reaching 1-2 days.
2. Long-lasting Effect: The pesticide has strong penetrability, penetrating deep into the leaves to form a protective layer, and is resistant to rain washout. One application provides over 20 days of sustained effectiveness.
3. No cross-resistance: Indoxacarb is a new type of oxadiazon insecticide and does not exhibit cross-resistance with established pesticides such as organophosphates and pyrethroids. Even though this combination has been used for many years, no significant resistance issues have been observed in the field.
Precautions for Use
Safety Interval: Different crops have different safety intervals (e.g., 21 days is generally recommended for rice). Application must be stopped at the prescribed time before harvest.
Timing of Application: It is recommended to apply the pesticide during the peak hatching period of insect eggs to the early larval stage (before the 3rd instar). At this time, insect resistance is weak, damage is minimal, and the effect is optimal while minimizing losses.
