How It Works: Mode of Action
A two-ingredient insecticide for fall armyworm in maize.
-
Nerve and muscle action: Emamectin benzoate affects chloride channels involved in insect nerve and muscle function.
-
Nerve signalling is disrupted: Permethrin alters sodium-channel activity in susceptible insects.
-
Feeding is interrupted: Affected pests lose normal movement and feeding, leading to control of the listed target.
Action groups help plan rotation. A different brand name does not necessarily mean a different mode of action. Follow crop-specific resistance-management directions.

Do not extend these uses to another crop, target or formulation without the applicable label directions.
Dosage & Application Guide
Numerical application programmes are withheld because manufacturer quantities and separate formulation references do not establish complete current Marvex directions with matching method, carrier, crop and pest timing, harvest and access conditions.
The historical maize fall-armyworm formulation reference does not establish the complete current Marvex programme. Its missing harvest waiting period must not be interpreted as zero days.
Do not combine differently rounded manufacturer and generic quantities with separate directions to create an application programme. Obtain the complete supplied label before treatment; no numerical application or tank recipe is provided here.
No separate per-litre or tank dose is given. Obtain the application method, crop-stage timing, repeat interval, maximum applications, rainfast time and re-entry interval from the supplied label.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm the crop and target: Use the matching label entry, not a rate borrowed from another crop or a similar product.
-
Follow the complete directions: Check the stated quantity, water volume, mixing sequence, equipment, application method and timing. Separate formulation references are not a complete current Marvex programme.
-
Check mixtures and rotation: Do not assume compatibility with another pesticide, fertiliser or adjuvant. Avoid highly acidic or alkaline mixtures. Follow label restrictions and rotate appropriately between action groups.
-
Record treatment and harvest: Record the product, crop and date. Follow the applicable harvest waiting period and field-entry precautions on the supplied label.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Marvex contain?
Emamectin benzoate 2.2% and permethrin 15.3% in an emulsifiable concentrate.
Which pest is Marvex listed for?
Fall armyworm in maize. Do not extend this recommendation to other crops or pests without the supplied label.
Does quick knockdown mean instant control?
No fixed time is promised here. Results depend on the pest, application conditions and the complete label programme.
Can separate published quantities establish the application programme?
No. Manufacturer and generic formulation-reference quantities must not be combined into a current branded programme. Confirm the complete supplied label directions before treatment rather than mixing rounded figures or other products’ instructions.
What is the maize harvest waiting period?
The exact-formulation reference does not state one. Confirm the current Marvex pack label before treatment; a dash is not permission for immediate harvest.
