How It Works: Mode of Action
Emamectin benzoate is an IRAC Group 6 insecticide. Its movement through treated leaves is not a claim of whole-plant systemic movement.
- Pest exposure: Contact and feeding expose susceptible insects to the active ingredient.
- Nerve and muscle action: It affects chloride channels involved in nerve and muscle activity.
- Feeding disruption: Affected insects stop feeding and can become paralysed before dying.
Use suitable products from different mode-of-action groups in rotation. Changing only the brand name does not change the mode of action.

SG granules are measured by weight. Do not treat ml as an equivalent number of grams.
*The working brand quantity, application route, crop timing, repeat limits and re-entry interval need confirmation from your supplied Missile label. No per-litre or tank rate is calculated.
Acre quantities are approximate conversions; original hectare quantities remain shown. PHI means the minimum interval from the last treatment to harvest or tea plucking.
Tea Board guidance also lists a one-day PHI for this formulation. Follow the current pack and destination-market residue requirements; a waiting period alone does not guarantee residue compliance.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the target: Match the crop and pest to the current label.
- Confirm the weight: Resolve the granule quantity before weighing or mixing.
- Read application directions: Confirm the route, water, crop stage, weather conditions and repeat limits.
- Plan harvest: Check the crop-specific harvest or tea-plucking interval and buyer residue requirements.
- Follow access precautions: Use the label protective equipment and worker re-entry directions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Missile a liquid or granule product?This is emamectin benzoate 5% SG, a water-soluble granule product measured by weight.
Does translaminar mean fully systemic?No. It describes movement through treated leaf tissue, not protection of all new or untreated plant growth.
Why are the quantities marked as references?The published brand quantity uses an inconsistent unit. General formulation values are shown separately until the supplied pack directions are confirmed.
Is the harvest interval the same for every crop?No. The general references range from one day for tea to fourteen days for the listed pulses. Confirm your crop’s actual pack interval.
Can I add another insecticide or use a fixed tank dose?No mixture or tank recipe is recommended here. Follow the current label instead of assuming compatibility or deriving a tank dose.
