Coromandel 100 g Benzer Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG Insecticide

Coromandel Benzer Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG is an insecticide that contains Emamectin Benzoate as its active ingredient. Emamectin Benzoate is a semi-synthetic derivative of avermectins, which are naturally occurring compounds derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. This insecticide is developed and manufactured by Coromandel International Limited, a prominent agrochemical company in India.

Emamectin Benzoate is highly effective against a wide range of insect pests and is particularly known for its efficacy against caterpillar pests. It acts as a neurotoxin, disrupting the nerve impulses in insects, leading to paralysis and ultimately causing their death. This makes it a valuable tool in controlling harmful caterpillar species that can cause significant damage to crops. The formulation of Coromandel Benzer Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG is in the form of a soluble granule (SG). This formulation is designed for easy mixing with water, forming a suspension that can be applied as a spray.

The SG formulation ensures proper and uniform distribution of the active ingredient on the plant surfaces, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the insecticide. This insecticide is commonly used in various crops, including vegetables, fruits, cotton, and ornamental plants, to control caterpillar pests like diamondback moth, bollworms, fruit borer, and armyworms. It is known for its translaminar activity, which means it can penetrate into the leaf tissues and offer protection to both sides of the leaves, making it more effective against leaf-feeding insects. As with any chemical pesticide, it is essential to use Coromandel Benzer Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG as per the manufacturer's instructions and recommended dosage. Care should be taken to avoid overdosing and to follow the prescribed pre-harvest intervals to ensure the safety of the produce for consumption.

It is also crucial to incorporate this insecticide as part of an integrated pest management (IPM) program, combining various pest control methods to reduce the risk of developing insect resistance and to maintain the ecological balance in the agricultural ecosystem. Additionally, appropriate safety measures should be taken during handling and application to protect the applicator and minimize the impact on non-target organisms and the environment.
