IFFCO-MC Egao (Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG): The Ultimate Solution for Bollworms & Borers

Discover how Japanese technology meets Indian farming needs to stop caterpillars in their tracks.

IFFCO-MC Egao is a powerful insecticide designed to bring a "smile" (the meaning of Egao in Japanese) back to farmers' faces. It is a modern, water-soluble granule formulation of Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG. Unlike older poisons, it specifically targets damaging caterpillars like the Bollworm and Diamondback Moth (DBM) in cotton, chillies, and vegetables. By combining IFFCO’s reach with Mitsubishi’s Japanese quality, Egao offers a precise, low-dust, and highly effective solution for pest control.

Why farmers choose itWhy Choose Egao? Key Benefits for High Yields
  • ⏱️ Rapid "Stop-Feeding" Action: Larvae stop eating your crop within 2 hours of spraying, preventing further damage immediately.
  • ?️ Long-Lasting Protection (Translaminar): The chemical enters the leaf tissues and creates a hidden reservoir, killing pests that hide underneath leaves.
  • Short Harvest Interval (PHI): Safe to use on vegetables like Cabbage and Brinjal just days before harvest.
  • ?️ Rainfast in 4 Hours: Once the spray dries (approx. 4 hours), it won't wash off easily, saving your investment during monsoon.
  • ? Eco-Friendly SG Formulation: Solvent-free and dust-free granules dissolve like sugar, reducing leaf burn and health risks for the farmer.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Egao works by attacking the nervous system of the caterpillar in a unique way:

  1. Ingestion & Contact: The pest eats a treated leaf or touches the spray.
  2. Nerve Locking: The chemical binds to specific "Chloride Channels" in the insect's nerves, locking them open.
  3. Paralysis: This short-circuits the insect's muscles. The larva becomes paralyzed, stops feeding immediately (saving your crop), and dies within 2-4 days.

Note: You might see live larvae for a day or two, but they are paralyzed and harmless.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.

How to applyDosage per Acre, Grams, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
CropDose (g / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (g / Litre)PHI (Days)
Cotton76 - 88 g200 L0.4 - 0.5 g10 Days
Chilli & Brinjal80 g200 L0.4 g3 Days
Cabbage & Okra54 - 80 g150 - 200 L0.4 g3 - 5 Days

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: Spray at the "Economic Threshold Level" (e.g., when you see 5% damaged bolls or 1 larva per plant). Early application is best.
  • Mixing: Egao granules dissolve quickly. Fill the tank half with water, add the dose, mix, and fill the rest. No organic solvents needed.
  • Coverage: Ensure the underside of leaves is covered, as that is where pests often hide. Use a minimum of 200 Litres of water per acre for cotton.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying near fish ponds.
