When to use it: Start the larval-pest programmes below when larvae are first observed. Match the crop, target and supplied label before treatment.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🎯 Targeted larval-pest control: The label covers crop-specific bollworms, fruit and shoot borers, diamondback moth, pod borers and tea looper.
-
🌿 Stomach action: Susceptible larvae are affected when they feed on treated foliage.
-
🍃 Translaminar activity: AgroStar describes movement into leaf tissue that helps reach target pests on the underside of leaves.
-
💧 Water-soluble granules: The SG formulation is measured by weight and mixed with water for foliar spraying.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Amaze-X acts mainly through ingestion by susceptible larvae. Correct pest identification, timing and coverage are essential.
-
Ingestion by larvae: The leaflet describes stomach action. Larvae feeding on treated plant material receive the insecticide.
-
Feeding disruption: Affected larvae become paralysed and stop feeding. Thorough coverage and treatment at the labelled stage remain important; this is not an instant-control guarantee.
-
Leaf-tissue movement: AgroStar describes translaminar activity, which helps the treatment reach target pests feeding on the lower leaf surface. It does not replace thorough foliar coverage.

Acre quantities are approximate conversions of the leaflet’s original hectare rates, which remain in the table. One hectare is approximately 2.471 acres. Do not convert these figures into a universal per-litre or per-pump recipe, or treat pack size as area coverage.
Route and timing: Apply by foliar spray with thorough foliage coverage when larvae are first observed. Reassess pest incidence before repeating and follow the supplied label’s treatment limits. The chilli row above is for fruit borer, not a timing instruction for thrips or mites.
Pre-harvest interval (PHI): Wait the stated number of days after the final spray before harvesting that crop. PHI does not replace the separate worker-entry restrictions.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Match the exact use: Check Amaze-X, emamectin benzoate 5% SG, the crop and pest on the current supplied label. Do not transfer directions from another brand, formulation or crop.
-
Measure the treatment area: Weigh the formulated product and use the crop-specific water quantity. A pack is a sale quantity, not a one-acre or one-pump dose.
-
Prepare the spray safely: Use clean spray equipment and a dedicated measuring tool. Stir the mixture with a stick, never with bare hands, and do not use cooking utensils.
-
Cover the foliage: Apply as a foliar spray with calibrated equipment, distributing the stated product and water quantities thoroughly over the crop foliage. Prevent drift and contamination of water.
-
Time to larval incidence: For the numerical programmes above, apply when larvae are first observed. Reassess the field before any later application and follow the supplied label’s treatment limits; do not create an automatic calendar schedule.
-
Protect bees and aquatic life: The leaflet identifies toxicity to honey bees and aquaculture. Avoid exposing bees, and keep product, spray drift and washings away from water bodies.
-
Observe separate restrictions: Keep the crop-specific waiting period after the final spray. Follow the supplied label’s worker-entry restrictions and protective measures separately.
Use only label-permitted mixtures. AgroStar lists compatibility with sticking agents; confirm the exact adjuvant, crop and rate before use. Do not assume compatibility with every pesticide or fertiliser.
Frequently Asked Questions
SG means water-soluble granules. Amaze-X contains emamectin benzoate 5% w/w and is measured by weight before mixing with water.
No. The pack size is the quantity you buy. The crop, target pest and treated area determine how much product and water to use. Do not empty a whole pack into a pump by default.
For the larval-pest programmes shown, start when larvae are first observed and obtain thorough foliar coverage. For other listed targets, obtain crop-specific directions from the current supplied label and a qualified crop adviser before mixing.
AgroStar lists compatibility with sticking agents, but this is not approval for every adjuvant or tank mix. Follow the relevant product labels and obtain advice on the exact mixture and rate. A jar test alone does not establish legal use, crop safety or effectiveness.
No. PHI is the waiting period between the final spray and harvest. Worker re-entry is a separate restriction. Follow the supplied label for both and do not assume workers may enter immediately after spraying.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current supplied label and leaflet, and match the crop, pest, formulation, dose, water, route, timing and all restrictions. Use only on crops specified by the label. This overview does not authenticate an individual pack or replace label directions.
Wear the label-specified protective clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, boots, eye protection and respiratory protection. Avoid dust and spray inhalation and contact with skin or eyes. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling. Wash after use and clean contaminated clothing before reuse. Keep children and unprotected people away.
The product is toxic to honey bees and aquatic organisms. Prevent exposure of bees and contamination of aquaculture, drains, streams and other water bodies. Store tightly closed in the original container in a cool, dry, ventilated, locked place away from children, food, feed, seeds and fertilisers.
Do not reuse empty packaging. Follow the current label and local requirements for waste and container disposal. If exposure or illness occurs, seek urgent medical help and show the product pack or label. Do not induce vomiting.
