Target pests by crop
Maize · Fall armyworm
Dual-active composition: Emamectin benzoate 1.5% + profenofos 35% WDG.
Crops: For maize, cotton and chilli.

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🍃Movement through leaves: Both active ingredients act across leaf tissue.
- 🎯Contact and feeding: Works when pests touch it or eat treated plant material.
- 🌽Maize pest control: Targets fall armyworm in maize.
Acts against eggs and larvae. Pest control may last 10–12 days, but this is not a guaranteed protection period, a harvest interval or a repeat-treatment schedule.

How It Works
Korko’s two active ingredients affect pest nerves in different ways. They move across leaf tissue, but not throughout the whole plant.
- Emamectin benzoate: Disrupts signals that control pest nerves and muscles.
- Profenofos: Blocks an enzyme needed for normal nerve signalling.
- Movement through leaves: Helps the active ingredients reach pests in leaf tissue. Emamectin benzoate stops feeding and causes paralysis in pests it can control.
Changing brands does not always mean a different way of controlling pests. Follow the label’s guidance to help prevent pests becoming harder to control.
Target Crops & Pests
For maize, cotton and chilli. The maize target is fall armyworm.

How to Apply: Best Practices
- Formulation handling: WDG means water-dispersible granules, not ready-to-use soil granules.
Frequently Asked Questions

Is Korko systemic?No. It moves across leaf tissue, not throughout the whole plant.
Can I broadcast Korko directly because it is a granule?WDG means water-dispersible granules, not ready-to-use soil granules. Follow the supplied formulation-specific application directions.
Is the 150 g pack an acre dose?Pack size and application rate are different. Use the crop-specific rate on the supplied label.
