Insecticide
NOVALURON 5.25% + INDOXACARB 4.5% SC
A potent combination of a chitin synthesis inhibitor and a sodium channel blocker. Provides complementary modes of action for superior control of lepidopteran pest complexes across multiple crops with extended residual activity.
Active: Novaluron + Indoxacarb
Formulation: SC (Suspension Concentrate)
Action: Synergistic Dual Action
Product Information
Mode of Action
Novaluron prevents chitin formation, disrupting the molting process. Indoxacarb blocks sodium channels in nerve cells causing paralysis. This synergistic combination affects pests at multiple life stages.
Target Pests
- Fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera)
- Leaf eating caterpillar (Spodoptera litura)
- Gram pod borer
- Pod borer complex (Melanogromyza obtusa)
- Black gram pod borer complex
- Rice leaf folder (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis)
Key Benefits
Provides superior control over pest complexes and offers extended residual activity.

Note the significant variation in waiting periods (from 5 to 40 days) depending on the crop. Ensure strict adherence to harvest intervals.
Application Instructions
1. Application Timing
Apply when pests are at early instar stages for maximum efficacy. The dual action allows control over larvae attempting to molt and adults/larvae via contact.
2. Method of Use
Mix the required dosage (formulation in ml) in 500 Liters of water per Hectare. Ensure uniform spraying on foliage, as Indoxacarb requires ingestion/contact and Novaluron requires ingestion.
Safety Precautions
Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): This product has widely varying PHI values. For Tomato, it is as short as 5 days, but for Rice, it is 40 days. Consult the dosage table carefully before harvesting.
Handling: Wear protective clothing during spraying. Do not spray during active bee foraging hours.
