Proclaim Insecticide by Crystal Crop Protection
Emamectin benzoate 5% SG
What it controls: Listed caterpillars, plus thrips and mites on the crop-specific uses below.
When to use it: Match the pest and crop to the current pack; confirm application timing and harvest restrictions before treatment.
What to include: The measured granules, correct crop-specific water volume and the protective equipment on the label.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🐛Caterpillar control: Listed uses include bollworms, fruit and shoot borers, pod borers, diamondback moth and tea looper.
- 🍃Reaches through leaves: Translaminar movement carries the active ingredient through a treated leaf, helping reach pests on its underside.
- 🎯Contact and feeding action: Acts when susceptible pests contact the treatment or feed on treated plant material.
- 💧Soluble granules: The SG formulation is measured by weight and mixed with water according to the pack directions.
- 🔄A defined rotation group: Group 6 gives a clear basis for planning rotations with suitable insecticides from other groups.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Emamectin benzoate affects the nerve and muscle function of susceptible insects. It can move through treated leaves; this is not whole-plant systemic protection.
- The pest encounters the treatment: Susceptible pests are exposed through contact or feeding on treated plant parts.
- Nerve signals are disrupted: The active ingredient opens specific chloride channels, interfering with normal nerve and muscle activity.
- Feeding and movement stop: Affected caterpillars become paralysed and die. No fixed speed of control is promised for every field condition.
Use an appropriate resistance-management programme. Changing brand names without changing the mode-of-action group is not a rotation.

These approximate acre conversions retain the original hectare references. Measure SG granules in grams, not millilitres.
*No independently labelled per-litre rate is supplied here. Do not calculate a tank dose from the area rate. PHI is the minimum time between the last treatment and harvest. The current pack must confirm the applicable interval.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check the crop and pest: Identify the pest before treatment and use only a matching crop-target combination on the label.
- Confirm the programme: Check the current pack for application route, crop and pest stage, mixing method, water volume, repeat limits and re-entry period before preparing the product.
- Measure by weight: Use accurate weighing equipment for this granular product. Do not measure it as a liquid or substitute directions for another formulation.
- Keep the crop-specific pairing: Water volumes and harvest intervals differ among crops. Do not use the grape or red gram water range for every crop.
- Avoid unapproved mixtures: Do not add another pesticide or adjuvant unless the current labels permit the combination.
- Protect people and water: Follow all protective-equipment, drift, environmental and disposal precautions on the supplied pack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Proclaim now a Crystal product?Yes. Crystal lists Proclaim emamectin benzoate 5% SG in its Indian range. This is different from Proclaim Xtra and its combination formulation.
Does it control only caterpillars?Caterpillars are a main use, but the listed scope also includes thrips and mites in chilli and thrips in grapes. Do not transfer those uses to other crops.
Should I measure Proclaim in grams or millilitres?In grams. It is a water-soluble granular product. Confirm the exact product quantity on the current pack rather than treating it as a liquid.
Can I use one dose and harvest interval for every crop?No. The formulation references differ by crop. For example, cotton has a 10-day reference interval, while tea has 1 day; use only the interval confirmed by the current pack.
Does the 100 g pack treat exactly one acre?Pack size is not an application rate. Calculate the amount needed only from the current pack’s authorised crop-specific dose and the area to be treated.
