How It Works: Mode of Action
IRAC Group 6: emamectin benzoate modulates glutamate-gated
chloride channels, disrupting insect nerve and muscle function.
-
Ingestion matters: Exposed larvae stop feeding and become paralysed. Cover foliage thoroughly.
-
Not a disease treatment: Not a fungicide; do not schedule by disease severity.
Rotate with effective different IRAC groups under qualified
advice. No duration guarantee.

Timing and repeats: Apply when larvae are first observed;
repeat only as necessary within current pack restrictions. Do not infer a fixed interval or maximum count. For grapes thrips and
chilli thrips or mites, obtain complete target-specific timing and directions before mixing; do not transfer the larval recipes.
Grapes has a 5-day PHI, and chilli a 3-day PHI.
Acre calculation: Multiply hectare product and water by
0.40468564224; acre values are rounded to two decimals. Retain the original pair for calibration. No per-litre or tank recipe is
implied.
Worker entry: Follow current pack entry and PPE directions.
No numerical leaflet entry interval; this does not permit immediate access.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Match target and stage: For numerical larval-target uses only, apply when larvae are first observed with paired product/water and
full foliage coverage. Obtain separate thrips/mites directions.
-
Measure and protect: Calibrate, measure accurately and wear required PPE. No cooking utensils, bare-hand mixing or blowing nozzles
by mouth.
-
Check mixtures and repeats: Confirm sticker or pesticide mixtures against both labels and crop advice. Repeat only as needed within
pack restrictions.
-
Record harvest and entry: Record application and crop PHI. Follow separate entry directions; keep product, drift and washings out
of water.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Use the crop’s product and water rates, not pack weight. Retain the hectare basis.
For numerical larval-target programmes only: when larvae are first observed. Obtain separate timing directions for thrips/mites.
No. Match the last-spray-to-harvest interval to the crop.
Only when both current labels and qualified advice support the exact mixture. No blanket compatibility is implied.
The leaflet says repeat as necessary, without a fixed interval or numerical entry time. Follow current pack restrictions; blank does not mean unrestricted.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current supplied pack label and leaflet. Match the crop, target,
formulation, product quantity, treatment basis, method, first-treatment timing and applicable harvest and entry restrictions.
Use only as directed for agriculture. This overview does not replace the label or authenticate an individual
