Emamectin Benzoate has both contact and stomach poison effects. It also possesses strong penetrability, rapidly penetrating into crop leaves. Its mechanism of action primarily involves enhancing the activity of neurotransmitters such as glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), thereby allowing a large influx of chloride ions into nerve cells, leading to cellular dysfunction, disrupting nerve conduction, and causing larvae to immediately stop feeding upon contact, resulting in irreversible paralysis, reaching peak mortality within 3-4 days.
Target pests
Lepidoptera: Cod borer, bollworm, armyworm, cabbage white butterfly, rice leaf roller, apple leafroller, etc.
Diptera: Leaf miners, fruit flies, seed flies, etc.
Thrips: Western flower thrips, melon thrips, onion thrips, rice thrips, etc.
Coleoptera: Wireworms, grubs, aphids, whiteflies, scale insects, etc.
Usage Tips
① The insecticidal activity of Emamectin Benzoate is highly temperature-dependent. Generally, it achieves stronger and better insecticidal effects when used at temperatures above 22 degrees Celsius, making it more suitable for use during the hot summer and autumn seasons.
② Emamectin Benzoate is easily decomposed by strong sunlight, reducing its efficacy. Therefore, when using Emamectin Benzoate for pest control, avoid applying it during midday when direct sunlight is most effective. For example, in the current summer, it is generally best to apply it before 10 AM or after 4 PM.
③ Emamectin Benzoate is slightly acidic, so avoid using it in combination with alkaline pesticides, as this will reduce or even eliminate its insecticidal effect.
④ Emamectin Benzoate is a semi-synthetic antibiotic insecticide, so try to avoid using it with fungicides, otherwise it will reduce the activity of Emamectin Benzoate and reduce its efficacy.
