Description

What is EMADOX?

EMADOX is a highly effective insecticide designed to provide control against leaf roller pests, particularly in rice crops. This product combines two potent active ingredients: Emamectin Benzoate and Indoxacarb. Both ingredients are known for their powerful pest control mechanisms, ensuring your rice crops are well protected from damaging pests.

The combination of Emamectin Benzoate and Indoxacarb works in a dual-action mode to efficiently manage pest populations. With the insecticidal properties of Emamectin Benzoate and the sodium channel blocking action of Indoxacarb, EMADOX offers enhanced control of leaf rollers that commonly attack rice fields. This product is formulated for easy application and is safe when used according to the instructions provided.

Key Benefits

• Dual-action pest control: Combines the power of Emamectin Benzoate and Indoxacarb for effective control of leaf rollers.
• Fast acting: Quickly stops feeding behavior of pests, leading to immediate crop protection.
• Long-lasting results: Ensures prolonged protection, allowing for healthier rice crops.
• Broad-spectrum control: Controls a wide range of lepidopteran pests that damage rice crops.
• Safe for crops: Effective without harming the environment or the crops when used as directed.
• Convenient pack size: Comes in a 150ml pack, perfect for small to medium-sized farms.

How It Works

EMADOX utilizes two active ingredients to target pests in different ways:

• Emamectin Benzoate: This compound activates chloride channels in insect cells, leading to paralysis and eventual death. It is effective in stopping feeding immediately after application.
• Indoxacarb: This ingredient blocks sodium channels in the pest’s nervous system, leading to death by disrupting normal nerve function. Its unique mechanism of action makes it highly effective in controlling pest populations.

Together, these ingredients provide a dual-action solution that works on multiple levels, offering both quick knockdown and long-lasting residual effects on pests.
