2. EmamectinBenzoate 5% SG
• EmamectinBenzoatewas discovered in 1984
• Features
∆ is semisynthetic
∆ Nonsystemic
∆ Newgeneration
∆ Naturallyderivedavermectininsecticides.
∆ Emamectinis used at very low dose.

3. ∆ Emamectintargetslepidopteran as well as leaf miner in
vegetables & fruits, Gram, Soybean,Tur& Cotton.
∆ Emamectinis more active againstthose insectswhich are
resistant to other chemical groups (Organo phosphates,
Carbamates).
∆ Emamectinworks much faster after ingestion by the insect.

4. BENEFITS
Ō Emamectinhas novel mode of action hence no case of
resistance.
