Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG is a semi-synthetic, non-systemic insecticide from the avermectin class. It is effective against a wide range of lepidopteran pests affecting vegetables, fruits, grains, soybeans, turmeric, and cotton. Emamectin has a novel mode of action, making it less likely for pests to develop resistance. It also has minimal impact on beneficial insects. The document provides details on emamectin's mode of action, application instructions, and target crops including cotton, cabbage, chilies, brinjal, okra, and pulses.

1. X-PERT(Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG)

2. Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG
semi synthetic, Non systemic ,New generation
Naturally derive davermectin insecticides. Emamectinis used at very low dose.
Emamectin targets lepidopteran as well as leaf miner in vegetables & fruits, Gram, Soybean,
Tur & Cotton.
Emamectinis more active against those insects which are resistant to other chemical groups (Organo
phosphates, Carbamates).
Emamectin works much faster after ingestion by the insect
Emamectin Benzoate was discovered in 1984
Features

3. Benets
Emamectinhas novel mode of action hence no case of
resistance.
Emamectinis not harmful to benecial insects hence t in
IPM module.
Due to translaminaractivity Emamectinhas the quality of rain
fastness.
Highly effective and environment protecting biocide.
Lepidoptera specialist but selective to Benecials
Due to its little amount of usage and being easy to degrade,
does not pollute the environment and has no residue.

4. Qualities of Xpert
New class of insecticide “Avermectins”
Avermectinsare a series of closely related macro cyclic lactonederivatives
produced as fermentation metabolites of Streptomyces avermitlis.
XPERT is both stomach and contact insecticide
XPERT in Water Soluble Granule [SG] become one of the most promising new
generations of formulated pesticides and utilization of soluble granular pesticides
It works much faster after ingestion by the insect.

5. Ingestion Activity
Complete Kill observed
1st to 3rd Instars – 72 Hrs
4th to 6th Instars – 6 to 7 days

6. Ingestion Activity
Emamectin penetrates leaf through translaminaraction.

7. Mode of Action
Emamectin protects plants from feeding damage in 2
hours of application.
Damage stopsin just 2 Hrs after ingestion
Death occursin 72 Hrs for smaller instars. Takes more
time upto 6 – 7 days for larger instars

8. Application
Dosage: 200-250g/ha or 80-100g/acre, apply XPERT at the rst
sign of damage and repeat at an intervalof 10-12days.
If necessary counter / scout the eld at random weekly in 10
plants and recommend spray of XPERT if the count exceeds
4 larvae of any caterpillar species or 7- 8 DBM .
