Indoxacarb 15.8% EC

Indoxacarb 15.8% EC is a modern, broad-spectrum insecticide belonging to the oxadiazine group. It is primarily used to control caterpillars and other lepidopteran pests through its unique mode of action as a sodium channel blocker, which leads to paralysis and death of the insect.

Key Features & Benefits

• Target Pests: Highly effective against Bollworms, Pod Borers, Diamondback Moths, and Leaf Folders.

• Dual Action: Works through both contact (on the insect's skin) and stomach (ingestion) poison.

• Systemic & Residual: It provides long-lasting protection and is generally safe for beneficial insects, making it a good fit for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

• Quick Effect: Pests typically stop feeding almost immediately after exposure, preventing further crop damage.
