Combination Insecticide
METAFLUMIZONE 15% + METHOXYFENOZIDE 15% SC
Innovative combination insecticide pairing a sodium channel blocker with a molting accelerator. Delivers comprehensive control of tough lepidopteran pests across different growth stages in groundnut, sugarcane, and vegetables.
Active: Metaflumizone + Methoxyfenozide
Formulation: 30% SC (Suspension Concentrate)
Action: Paralysis & IGR
Product Information
Mode of Action
Metaflumizone: Blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in the insect’s nervous system, causing “relaxed” paralysis, cessation of feeding, and death.
Methoxyfenozide: An ecdysone agonist (IGR) that mimics the insect molting hormone. It induces premature lethal molting in larvae, preventing them from developing into adults.
This combination targets pests at both the nerve and growth stages.
Target Pests
- Leaf Eating Caterpillar (Spodoptera litura)
- Groundnut Leaf Miner (Aproaerema modicella)
- Pod Borer (Helicoverpa armigera)
- Early Shoot Borer (Chilo infuscatellus)
Recommended Dosage
| Crop | Target Pest | Dosage (ml/ha) | Water (L/ha) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Groundnut | Leaf Eating Caterpillar, Leaf Miner, Pod Borer | 875 | 500 | 26 |
| Sugarcane | Early Shoot Borer | 500 – 625 | 500 | 161 |
Dosage Note:
- Sugarcane: Dosage varies between 500-625 ml depending on crop stage. Note the long PHI of 161 days.
- General: Ensure adequate water volume (500L/ha) for thorough coverage.
Application Instructions
1. Mixing
This product is a Suspension Concentrate (SC). Shake well before use. Mix the required quantity in water to form a uniform suspension before adding to the spray tank. Agitate continuously.
2. Timing
Apply at the early larval stages for maximum effect of the IGR component (Methoxyfenozide). The nerve-blocking action of Metaflumizone provides rapid feeding cessation.
Safety Precautions
Warning: Wear personal protective equipment. Toxic to aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate water bodies. Adhere strictly to the long PHI for Sugarcane.
