Product details
Elpida Insecticide by Godrej Agrovet
Emamectin benzoate 5% w/w SG for crop-specific caterpillar, borer and thrips control.
What it controls: Listed pests in cotton, vegetables, pulses and grapes.
When to use it: At the first observed larval incidence, following the crop directions.
What to include: Crop-specific water, harvest interval and a 48-hour re-entry interval.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🐛Feeding interruption: Susceptible larvae become paralysed and stop feeding after exposure.
- 🌿Borer protection: Labelled uses include fruit and shoot borers in okra and brinjal.
- ☁️Cotton bollworm control: The cotton recommendation specifically targets bollworms.
- 🫘Pulse pod-borer control: Both red gram and chickpea have separate pod-borer recommendations.
- 🥬Cabbage caterpillar control: The cabbage use targets diamondback moth rather than an undefined all-pest claim.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Emamectin benzoate is an IRAC Group 6 insecticide. Its main activity is through ingestion by susceptible larvae.
- Pests take in the insecticide: Feeding larvae ingest the treatment on sprayed foliage.
- Nerve signals are disrupted: The active ingredient changes chloride flow in nerve and muscle cells, preventing normal muscle control.
- Feeding stops: Affected larvae become paralysed, stop feeding and subsequently die.
Rotate with suitable products from different mode-of-action groups within a crop-specific resistance-management programme. Changing trade names alone is not a rotation.

Acre figures are approximate conversions; the original hectare quantities remain shown.
*No separate per-litre rate is provided here. Do not calculate a tank concentration from the area dose. PHI means the minimum interval between the last treatment and harvest.
Grapes: the product quantity needs confirmation on the current supplied label. The water range and 5-day PHI are retained, but this row is not a complete grape application programme. Do not borrow a dose from another crop.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Spray route: Apply to foliage with enough of the crop-specific water volume for thorough coverage.
- Pest timing: Start when larval incidence is first observed. Repeat only as permitted by the supplied label and pest situation; no fixed repeat interval is assumed.
- Measure correctly: Weigh the granules and measure the treated area. Keep the original hectare rate available when calibrating equipment.
- Re-entry: Keep people out of the treated area for 48 hours after application.
- Harvest planning: Observe 10 days for cotton; 5 for okra and grapes; 3 for cabbage, chilli and brinjal; and 14 for red gram and chickpea.
- Grape rate: Resolve the grape product quantity from the current pack before preparing its spray.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which crops are listed for Elpida?Cotton, okra, cabbage, chilli, brinjal, red gram, chickpea and grapes, only for their listed pests.
Is the brinjal dose the same as the okra dose?No. Brinjal is 200 g/ha, approximately 80.9 g/acre. Okra is 135–170 g/ha, approximately 54.6–68.8 g/acre. Both use 500 L/ha water.
How long should I wait before harvest?The interval varies from 3 to 14 days by crop. Use the specific table row; one harvest interval does not apply to all eight crops.
Can I prepare a grape spray from this table alone?No. The grape product quantity remains unconfirmed. Its water range and harvest interval do not establish a complete spray recommendation.
When can workers re-enter, and can I mix other products?The leaflet specifies 48 hours before re-entry. No tank mixture is recommended here; follow the current labels for any proposed combination.
