Pump dose: Use 18 to 22 ml per 15-litre knapsack pump for general foliar application.
Best Time to Apply:
The best time is at the early stage of caterpillar activity — when small worms first appear on shoots, flowers, or fruits, or when adult moths are seen actively laying eggs in the field.
Because Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC has ovi-larvicidal action, spraying just before or right after peak egg-laying gives the strongest results.
Late afternoon or early evening hours are the best window, as caterpillars are most active and pick up more product as they move and feed on treated leaves.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
-
Frequency: 1 to 2 sprays per crop cycle at 15- to 20-day intervals — the long residual action means fewer sprays compared to older caterpillar-only products.
-
Re-Entry Period: Wait at least 12 to 24 hours after spraying before re-entering the treated field without protective clothing.
-
Compatibility: Mixes well with most common fungicides, insecticides, and water-soluble fertilizers. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture, lime sulfur, or high-pH copper sprays, and always run a small jar test 24 hours before a new tank-mix combination.
