Before application: Verify the current pack; historical formulation rates below are not a substitute for its directions.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🍃Translaminar activity: The manufacturer describes activity across treated leaf tissue.
- 🔬Defined mode of action: IRAC 6 identifies the active ingredient group for resistance planning.
- 🎯Crop-target matching: The reference separates each listed crop from the pests paired with it.
- ⚖️Distinct formulation: SG: water-soluble granules; do not substitute another concentration or formulation.
- 📋Programme clarity: Separate product quantity, water and harvest waiting period help avoid treating a product dose as a tank recipe.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Emamectin benzoate modulates glutamate-gated chloride channels in insects. The manufacturer also describes translaminar activity across treated leaves.
- Leaf movement: Translaminar activity can bring the active ingredient across treated leaf tissue.
- Channel action: Emamectin benzoate modulates glutamate-gated chloride channels in susceptible insects.
- Nerve and muscle disruption: Altered signalling contributes to paralysis and control of susceptible pests.
A mode-of-action group is not a guarantee against resistance. Use the current crop-specific label and an appropriate resistance-management plan; do not simply repeat the same mode of action.
Target Crops & Pests
The manufacturer crop list is retained below. Pest pairings are from the matching September 2025 government formulation reference unless specifically noted; verify each pairing on the current Xplode pack.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton |
|
| Chickpea |
|
| Red gram |
|
| Okra |
|
| Brinjal |
|
| Cabbage |
|
| Chilli |

All seven manufacturer crops are retained. Historical grapes and tea uses are not added. The chilli thrips and mites pairing is explicitly formulation-reference information; the manufacturer’s broad caterpillar description alone is not its authority. No claim of safety to beneficial insects, any-stage use, fixed rainfastness or universal tank compatibility is adopted.
Dosage & Application Guide
September 2025 formulation reference only, not a complete current Xplode label. The manufacturer’s broad 88–100 g/acre statement does not give crop-specific rates and differs from several crop rows in the historical formulation reference. Do not apply that blanket range to every listed crop; obtain the current Xplode crop-specific label before treatment.

Confirm the current Xplode product rate, application method, water, crop stage, harvest interval and repeat limits before treatment. No unverified tank dose, mixing partner, adjuvant or repeat schedule is recommended.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check crop and target: Match the exact formulation, crop and pest with the supplied label; do not transfer a programme from another crop.
- Verify the full programme: Resolve the current product rate, method, timing, water and harvest interval before measuring or mixing.
- Use only the authorised method: Use the equipment, dilution and mixing sequence specified for this exact brand and crop. Do not infer a route solely from the formulation code.
- Protect and record: Follow the pack’s protective-equipment and environmental precautions. Record the application and observe harvest and re-entry restrictions.
