Mode of Action
EMAMECTIN BENZOATE
IRAC 6; Avermectin: Glutamate-gated chloride channel (GluCl) allosteric modulator.
Emamectin benzoate is a novel insecticide with potent efficacy against many species of lepidoptera which are damaging fruits and leaves of crops. The active ingredient belongs to the naturally derived chemical group of avermectin, causing paralysis of lepidoptera larvae due to the activation of the chloride channel at the nerve level. It acts mainly through ingestion, due to its mode of action and fast activity, it is effective at very low rates and on all instar stages
LUFENURON
IRAC 15; Benzoylurea: Systemic, selective, stomach acting. Inhibitor of chitin biosynthesis affect
ing CHS1. Lufenuron is a systemic and stomach-action insect growth regulator that inhibits chitin synthesis and thereby prevents Lepidoptera larvae from molting from one stage to another. Lufenuron inhibits the production of chitin in insects. Without chitin, Lepidopterans larvae will never develop a hard-outer shell (exoskeleton). With its inner organs exposed to air, the insect dies from dehydration soon after hatching or molting (shedding its old, smaller shell). It also acts on freshly laid eggs by preventing the larvae from hatching properly.
BENZORON 110 ME ensures the effective killing of the target pest with a dual mode of action. The target pest stops feeding in 1-2 hours and dies within 12-24 hours

Why Benzoron 110 ME?
- Exceptional Efficacy:
Emamectin Benzoate acts swiftly at the nerve level, activating glutamate-gated chlo
ride channels (GluCl) to induce paralysis in Lepidoptera larvae. Its rapid action
ensures the target pest stops feeding within just 1-2 hours, with mortality within
12-24 hours. - Comprehensive Action:
Lufenuron serves as a systemic insect growth regulator, specifically targeting chitin
biosynthesis. By disrupting the formation of the critical exoskeleton in larvae, it pre
vents effective molting and ensures that newly hatched insects cannot survive, thus
significantly reducing pest populations. - Versatile Use Across Life Stages:
With effectiveness against all instar stages of Lepidoptera, BENZORON 110 ME
treats a range of growth phases, ensuring total pest control from egg to mature
larvae. - Environmentally Responsible Approach:
Formulated with naturally derived ingredients, BENZORON 110 ME promotes sus
tainable agriculture and aligns with eco-conscious practices while maintaining crop
health. - User-Friendly Application:
Designed for ease of use, this product can be applied effectively through various
methods, ensuring maximum coverage and penetration into target areas
