How It Works: Mode of Action
Novaluron affects the outer covering needed for insect growth. Emamectin benzoate affects nerve and muscle function through a different target.
-
Growth is disrupted: Novaluron interferes with formation of the new outer covering during insect development.
-
Nerve and muscle function is affected: Emamectin benzoate changes signalling through chloride channels.
-
Two mechanisms work in one formulation: Both components must be considered when planning resistance management.
Rotate treatment approaches as the crop programme allows. A mode-of-action group is not a promise that resistance cannot develop.

Dosage & Application Guide
Numerical programmes are withheld because the exact-brand page does not establish matching carrier water, crop-specific method, positive treatment condition and harvest requirements. Confirm each complete crop–pest programme, including product quantity, equipment, access and repeat limits, together on the supplied pack.
Complete Programme Verification
Rice, chilli, red gram and cabbage retain their separate target programmes. Red gram is also called tur or pigeon pea; the manufacturer calls its target “fruit borer”, while the historical formulation reference names gram pod borer. No additional historical formulation crops or pests are imported into this exact-brand scope.
The harvest waiting period and carrier water are not established here from a complete current exact-brand programme. Missing values do not mean zero waiting time or permission to borrow another brand’s route, dilution or treatment schedule.
Confirm crop stage, application method, water, mixing sequence, harvest and re-entry intervals before treatment. No unsupported tank dose, repeat interval, maximum number of applications, rainfast time or tank mixture is recommended.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Check the crop and target: Read the supplied label and confirm the exact formulation and permitted use.
-
Use the matching directions: Confirm the crop-specific application method on the supplied pack.
-
Measure before mixing: Keep product quantity separate from water volume. Follow the pack instructions; do not invent a per-litre or tank rate.
-
Record and protect: Record the date and treated area. Observe the label’s harvest and re-entry intervals and protect nearby people, animals and water.
