Product details
Perform Insecticide by Parijat
Emamectin benzoate 5% SG for specified borers, caterpillars and other listed crop pests.
Product fit: Emamectin benzoate 5% SG, a non-systemic insecticide with movement
through treated leaf tissue.
When to apply: For borer and caterpillar targets, begin when larvae are first
observed. Use separate target-specific directions for thrips and mites.
Harvest planning: The programmes below require 5 days after the last spray for
okra, and 3 days for cabbage, chilli fruit borer and brinjal.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🐛 Larval-pest activity: Acts against
specified borers and caterpillars, with ingestion important to its action on susceptible larvae.
-
🍃 Feeding disruption: Disturbs feeding and
movement in affected larvae, helping limit continued feeding damage.
-
🌿 Translaminar movement: Moves through
treated leaf tissue, which is different from full systemic movement throughout the plant.
-
🚿 Water-soluble granules: The SG formulation
is prepared with water for foliage spraying, not dry broadcasting.
-
🎯 Defined action group: IRAC Group 6
identifies the active’s nerve-and-muscle mechanism for resistance-management planning.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Susceptible pests encounter treated foliage: Contact and feeding expose the pest to emamectin benzoate. Ingestion is particularly
important to its larval activity.
-
Nerve and muscle signalling is altered: Group 6 activates glutamate-gated chloride channels at an allosteric site, disrupting
normal insect nerve and muscle function.
-
Feeding and movement are impaired: The disruption can cause paralysis and death in susceptible insects. Thorough foliage coverage
remains essential to deliver the treatment.
Translaminar movement is not the same as movement throughout the whole plant. No fixed feeding-stop time, kill
time or season-long protection is promised. Consider Group 6 when planning subsequent control; changing the brand without changing the
action group does not remove resistance risk.

Keep each target with its own crop. The chilli fruit-borer programme below does not also establish when to
treat thrips or mites. A larval observation trigger for borers and caterpillars should not be transferred to other pest
types.

The hectare quantities and their approximate per-acre equivalents describe the same programme, not amounts to
add together. Select within a stated range using the supplied crop directions. Other listed uses have their own water requirements:
cotton and chickpea 500 L/ha (about 202.34 L/acre), redgram 500–750 L/ha (about 202.34–303.51 L/acre), and grapes 500–1,000 L/ha
(about 202.34–404.69 L/acre). Those water figures alone are not complete spray programmes; establish each crop-pest quantity, first
timing and harvest restriction before use.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Match the crop and actual pest: Use the named crop-target combination. In chilli, distinguish fruit-borer larvae from thrips and
mites before choosing the treatment programme.
-
Scout for the first larvae: For the borer and caterpillar programmes, begin when larvae are first observed. Do not use that trigger
as a shared rule for every pest in a crop row.
-
Measure area and preserve the water pairing: Measure the treated area and keep each product rate paired with its stated water
volume. Tank capacity alone does not establish the field area treated.
-
Prepare with clean water and stirring: Add the required quantity to a small amount of clean water and stir. Add the remaining
recommended clean water and mix well with stirring.
-
Cover the foliage thoroughly: Apply an even foliar spray with full foliage coverage. Translaminar movement does not compensate for
untreated areas or reduced spray water.
-
Check harvest, re-entry and further treatment: Observe the crop’s last-application-to-harvest wait and separate worker re-entry
restrictions. Follow the pack for repeat limits. Use a proposed mixture only when both current product labels permit it for the crop.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the chilli fruit-borer programme also cover thrips and mites?
No. Thrips and mites are listed crop targets, but observing borer larvae does not establish their
first-treatment timing. Keep those targets with their own complete crop-specific directions.
2. Are okra, cabbage, chilli and brinjal treated at the same rate?
No. Okra uses 135–170 g/ha, cabbage 150–200 g/ha, and the stated chilli fruit-borer and brinjal borer
programmes use 200 g/ha. Each of these rows uses 500 L water/ha.
3. What are the harvest waits for the four programmes?
Leave 5 days after the last application before harvesting okra. Leave 3 days for cabbage, chilli fruit-borer
treatment and brinjal. These waits are not repeat-spray or worker re-entry intervals.
4. Is Perform systemic, and can I broadcast the granules?
It is described as non-systemic with translaminar movement through treated leaves. The SG granules are
prepared with water for foliar spraying; they are not a dry-broadcast treatment.
5. Should I expect instant control or repeat automatically?
No fixed control time or automatic repeat schedule is prescribed here. Reassess the pest, follow the current
pack’s repeat limits and preserve the harvest interval after the last treatment. Account for Group 6 in resistance management.
