Target pests by crop
Redgram · Gram pod borer
Rice · Stem borer
Cabbage · Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), Tobacco caterpillar (Spodoptera litura)
Chilli · Gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera), Tobacco caterpillar (Spodoptera litura)
What it controls: The labelled caterpillars in redgram, cabbage and chilli, plus stem borer in rice.
When to use it: At the vegetative stage when the pest population reaches the economic threshold.
What to include: Keep the crop-specific dose, water volume and harvest interval together; use suitable protective equipment.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🧬Two distinct actions: Novaluron affects insect growth; emamectin benzoate acts on nerve and muscle signalling.
- 🥬Cabbage caterpillar control: The leaflet covers both diamondback moth and tobacco caterpillar in cabbage.
- 🌶️Chilli pest coverage: Gram pod borer and tobacco caterpillar are the labelled chilli targets.
- 🌱Redgram pod-borer control: The redgram recommendation targets gram pod borer, with its own harvest interval.
- 🌾Rice stem-borer control: Rice has a separate, higher product dose and a 32-day harvest interval.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Gunther combines two different IRAC groups. The mixture is not a reason to disregard resistance management or the crop label.
- Insect growth is disrupted: Novaluron is a Group 15 chitin-biosynthesis inhibitor affecting CHS1; it interferes with normal cuticle formation and moulting.
- Nerve and muscle signalling changes: Emamectin benzoate is a Group 6 glutamate-gated chloride-channel allosteric modulator.
- Susceptible larvae lose normal function: Impaired development and nerve or muscle function lead to control of susceptible pests within the labelled crop uses.
Use the mode-of-action group when planning resistance management. Changing brands without changing the active-ingredient group is not a rotation. Follow label limits and local integrated pest-management advice.

Acre figures are approximate conversions of the hectare directions shown beneath them. Measure the treated area accurately.
*The leaflet gives area-based product and water quantities, not a separate per-litre rate. No per-litre or tank dose has been calculated. PHI is the minimum time between the last spray and harvest.
A dash in the leaflet’s re-entry column is not a zero-hour interval. Follow the re-entry precautions on the supplied pack.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Use at the vegetative stage when the listed pest reaches the economic threshold level. Do not replace that threshold with an unsupported fixed pest count.
- Foliar spray: Use a knapsack sprayer with a hollow-cone nozzle, as specified by the leaflet.
- Mixing: Stir the measured product into a small quantity of water, then add the remaining recommended water and stir thoroughly.
- Spray programme: The leaflet describes three sprays at 10-day intervals depending on infestation. Keep the crop-specific harvest interval and supplied-pack directions in force.
- Weather: Do not spray in windy conditions. Avoid spray drift onto the operator and non-target areas.
- Harvest planning: Allow 25 days for redgram, 32 days for rice, and 3 days for cabbage or chilli between the last spray and harvest.
