Technical Name: Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG
Description:
X-Pert is a broad-spectrum insecticide containing Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG. It belongs to the avermectin group and is particularly effective against chewing and lepidopteran pests. It acts through ingestion and contact activity, providing strong control of larvae and helping protect crops from feeding damage.
Technical Name:
Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG
Mode of Action:
Emamectin Benzoate belongs to IRAC Group 6 and acts as a glutamate-gated chloride channel (GluCl) allosteric modulator. It disrupts nerve and muscle function, causing paralysis and cessation of feeding, followed by death of the insect.
Features & Benefits:
- Effective against important caterpillar and lepidopteran pests.
- Strong larvicidal activity with anti-feeding action.
- Provides contact and translaminar activity.
- Helps protect foliage and developing fruits from feeding damage.
- Particularly effective on larval stages.
- Suitable for several important agricultural crops.
Application Method:
- Apply as a foliar spray when pest/larval infestation is first observed.
- Dissolve the recommended quantity in sufficient water and spray uniformly over the crop foliage.
- Ensure thorough coverage of the plant canopy.
- Follow the product label and locally approved crop recommendations.
- For resistance management, rotate with insecticides having a different mode of action rather than repeatedly using the same IRAC group.
