ESCORT® 19EC is a highly effective natural insecticide containing Emamectin benzoate, designed to target a wide range of lepidopteran insect pests. Here are some key details about ESCORT® 19EC:

Key Features and Benefits:

Active Ingredient: Contains Emamectin benzoate at a concentration of 19 g/L.

Mode of Action: Emamectin benzoate acts by stomach ingestion and contact. It stimulates the release of acid (glutamate-gated chloride channels) that inhibit neurotransmitter, causing flaccid paralysis to the insect within hours of ingestion, leading to the insect's death.

Broad-Spectrum Control: Effective against pests such as Fall Armyworms, caterpillars, Tuta absoluta, thrips, spider mites, and diamondback moths.

Systemic Action: It penetrates leaf tissues (translaminar activity) and settles within the leaf, providing prolonged protection.

Application Guide:

Application Rate: The rate varies depending on the crop and pest. For example, for roses, use 8 ml per 20 liters of water; for maize, use 25 ml per 20 liters of water.

Timing: Apply at the first signs of insect infestation or egg hatch peak period before the 3rd instar larvae as a full cover spray. Repeat a maximum of 2 applications at 7-10 day intervals per season.

Preparation of Spray Mixture: Fill the spray tank with half the required water, add the required amount of ESCORT® 19EC, and then fill the tank to the required level. Agitate to ensure thorough mixing.

Safety Precautions: Wear protective clothing, safety glasses, and gloves when handling and applying the product. Wash contaminated clothing and equipment before reuse.
