Emamectin benzoate is a highly effective, low-toxic, low-residue, and pollution-free biological insecticide with a wide insecticidal spectrum and a long lasting effect. It has a good control effect on a variety of pests and mites. It is deeply loved by farmers and is currently the best-selling insecticide.
Characteristics of Emamectin benzoate
Long lasting effect
Emamectin benzoate mainly acts as a contact and stomach poison. When the agent enters the insect body, it can enhance the function of the pest's nerves, disrupt nerve conduction, and cause irreversible paralysis. The larvae stop eating immediately after contact, and the highest mortality rate is reached within 3-4 days. After being absorbed by crops, Emamectin benzoate can remain in the plant body for a long time without losing its effectiveness. After being eaten by pests, a second insecticidal peak appears 10 days later. Therefore, Emamectin benzoate has a longer lasting effect.
High activity and good safety
Compared with avermectin, emamectin benzoate has an insecticidal activity that is three orders of magnitude higher. It has extremely high activity against lepidopteran larvae and many other pests. It has both stomach poisoning and contact killing effects. It has a very good effect at very low doses, and does not harm beneficial insects in the process of pest control. It is conducive to the comprehensive control of pests. In addition, it expands the insecticide spectrum and reduces the toxicity to humans and animals.
Tips for applying emamectin benzoate
1. Mixing matters. Although there are many agents that can be mixed with emamectin benzoate, I hope everyone must remember that emamectin benzoate must not be mixed with various fungicides such as chlorothalonil, mancozeb, and mancozeb, because emamectin benzoate is a biological agent that will affect the efficacy of emamectin benzoate.
2. Matters needing attention when applying pesticides. After spraying emamectin benzoate on the leaves, it will decompose quickly under the action of strong ultraviolet light. At the same time, when emamectin benzoate is used at a temperature below 22 degrees, its insecticidal activity is not too strong (because the insecticidal activity of emamectin benzoate increases with the increase of temperature. When it reaches 25 degrees, its insecticidal activity can even increase by 1,000 times.)
Special reminder
Emamectin benzoate is not recommended to be used during the flowering period of crops because it is toxic to bees. In short, emamectin benzoate is about to reach its peak use period. We must be very clear about the mixing of emamectin benzoate and the objects of prevention and control. Only in this way can we quickly prevent insects.
Although emamectin benzoate has a wide insecticide spectrum, a long lasting effect, and good safety, there is a shortcoming that cannot be ignored, that is, emamectin benzoate has poor rapid effect. Lepidoptera and other pests are highly resistant to pesticides. Generally, pests can only be killed 3 to 4 days after application. Many farmers mistakenly believe that the insecticide effect is not good. In fact, only one drug needs to be added to improve the rapid effect immediately and the lasting effect will be longer. This drug is flubendiamide.
Flubendiamide has stomach poison and contact killing effects, no systemic absorption, and is a highly effective and broad-spectrum insecticide. It is also very low in toxicity to bees and aquatic organisms, and has no obvious effect on beneficial insects at normal dosages. In addition, flubendiamide has good activity against all lepidopteran pests, and can effectively prevent and control the adults and larvae of lepidopteran pests, especially the larvae, with fast action speed and long lasting effect.
Specially used for killing eggs and larvae, master the key period of prevention and control
Lufenuron is the latest generation of urea insecticides. The agent kills pests by acting on insect larvae and preventing the molting process. It has an excellent preventive effect on leaf-eating caterpillars such as fruit trees. It also has a unique killing mechanism for thrips, rust mites, and whiteflies, and is suitable for preventing and controlling pests that are resistant to synthetic pyrethroids and organophosphorus pesticides. The agent has a long lasting effect, which helps reduce the number of spraying times and the development of resistance.
