Product details
Plethora Insecticide | Novaluron 5.25% + Indoxacarb 4.5% w/w SC
A two-active insecticide affecting larval development and nerve function in the specified crop–pest
uses.
Target fit: Keep tomato, pulse, oilseed, chilli and rice uses separate; a broad
caterpillar description does not cover every species in every crop.
Two effects: Novaluron disrupts moulting while indoxacarb interferes with normal
nerve signalling.
Before application: Confirm the full crop and pest-stage directions, product
amount, water, method and harvest restriction.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🐛 Specified caterpillar and borer control: Provides options for the listed crop-damaging larval pests, with crop and target matched carefully.
-
🛡️ Disrupts larval development: Novaluron
interferes with formation of the new outer covering needed during moulting.
-
⚡ Impedes normal insect nerve function: Indoxacarb’s nerve action can paralyse susceptible insects. No fixed knockdown time or control duration is promised.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Novaluron interferes with the outer covering: The Group 15 active inhibits chitin biosynthesis affecting CHS1, needed for normal
larval moulting.
-
Indoxacarb blocks sodium channels: The Group 22A active blocks voltage-dependent sodium channels, interrupting normal nerve
signalling.
-
Development and normal activity are impaired: The combined effects hamper moulting and can paralyse susceptible insects. Correct
crop–pest selection and complete application directions remain essential.
These are two active modes of action, not three resistance groups. A premix is not resistance-proof; account
for both Groups 15 and 22A when planning further permitted treatments. The formulation does not authorize a homemade mixture of
separate products, a fixed repeat interval or a growth and yield guarantee.

Use only the exact crop–pest pair permitted on the supplied Indian Plethora pack. The borer complexes are
crop-specific; do not transfer every species or target to every crop, and do not add stem borer to the rice leaf-folder
use.
Dosage & Application Guide
Confirm a separate complete programme for each crop and pest
Before preparing treatment, obtain the exact application method, first crop and pest-stage window, product
amount, water requirement and harvest restriction together. Do not infer a universal spray route, early-larva threshold or treatment
calendar from the formulation or the two modes of action.
Keep the rice leaf-folder directions separate from the other crop–pest uses. Pack size and tank capacity do not
create an acre rate or pump recipe. The pre-harvest interval runs from final application to harvest, separately from worker re-entry
and repeat-treatment restrictions. Missing information does not mean zero days.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Match the exact formulation: Check Plethora, novaluron 5.25%, indoxacarb 4.5% w/w and SC on the supplied Indian pack. Do not borrow
directions from a different foreign Plethora strength.
-
Identify the crop and pest: Match each listed target to its own crop. A borer or caterpillar description does not establish every
species, and rice leaf folder is not rice stem borer.
-
Confirm first-treatment timing: Use the exact crop and pest-stage instructions with the full method, quantity, water and harvest
restriction. Do not choose a routine calendar or universal threshold without those directions.
-
Prepare and apply as directed: Use the specified equipment, protective clothing and complete preparation instructions. SC does not
independently authorize foliar, soil or seed treatment.
-
Check mixtures: Mix with another product only when both current labels expressly permit the proposed combination for the crop and
use. Physical compatibility alone is not permission to mix. Do not make the premix by combining separate novaluron and indoxacarb
products.
-
Record and reassess: Record crop, pest, stage, area, product and date. Observe separate harvest, worker-entry and further-treatment
restrictions; account for both resistance groups and reassess rather than repeating automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Plethora a single-active insecticide?
No. It contains novaluron 5.25% plus indoxacarb 4.5% w/w SC. They affect insect development and nerve
function through different mechanisms.
2. Does it cover every caterpillar in every crop?
No. Keep each crop and target together. For rice, the listed target is leaf folder; this does not add stem
borer or make all the other crop targets rice uses.
3. Why do both resistance groups matter?
Novaluron belongs to IRAC Group 15 and indoxacarb to Group 22A. Both must be considered when choosing
subsequent permitted treatments. Changing only the brand does not necessarily change the biological targets.
4. What quantity should I use in a pump, and when can I harvest?
Use the exact crop programme’s amount, water, route, first-treatment stage and treated area together. Follow
the harvest interval from final application to harvest; missing information is not zero days. Re-entry and repeat-treatment intervals
are separate.
5. Should I automatically repeat after 10–15 days or add a sticker?
No automatic repeat or adjuvant instruction is supplied. Follow the exact current label, field monitoring
and appropriate crop advice. Mix with another product only when both current labels expressly permit the proposed combination for the
crop and use. Physical compatibility alone is not permission to mix.
