Kenagro Benocarb 100SC Insecticide

General Description:

Benocarb 100SC is a highly effective broad-spectrum insecticide designed to provide robust pest control across a variety of crops. Its potent formulation combines two active ingredients, Indoxicarb and Emamectin Benzoate, which work synergistically to target and eliminate a wide range of destructive pests. This versatile insecticide is suitable for use in both commercial agriculture and home gardening.

Active Ingredients:

Indoxicarb: 85g/L. Indoxicarb is a highly effective insecticide that acts by blocking sodium channels in the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death.

Emamectin Benzoate: 15g/L. Emamectin Benzoate is derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis and works by stimulating the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in insects, causing muscle paralysis and death.

Target Pests:

Benocarb 100SC is effective against a variety of pests, including but not limited to:

Tuta absoluta (Tomato Leafminer) in tomatoes

Diamond Back Moth (DBM) in broccoli

False Codling Moth (FCM) in capsicum

Fall Armyworm (FAW) on maize

Caterpillars in roses

Application Instructions:

Dosage: Apply 10ml per 20 liters of water or 250ml per 1000 liters of water.

Application Method: Use a suitable sprayer to ensure even distribution of the insecticide over the target area. Ensure good coverage of the foliage for effective control.

Timing: Apply the insecticide during the early stages of pest infestation for the best results. Reapply as necessary based on pest pressure and environmental conditions.

Advantages:

Broad-Spectrum Control: Effective against a wide range of pests, making it a versatile choice for integrated pest management (IPM).

High Efficacy: The combination of Indoxicarb and Emamectin Benzoate ensures high efficacy in controlling target pests, providing rapid knockdown and extended residual activity.

Ease of Use: The suspension concentrate (SC) formulation makes it easy to mix and apply with standard spraying equipment.

Residual Activity: Provides long-lasting protection, reducing the need for frequent applications and minimizing labor and costs.

Safety Information:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear protective clothing, gloves, masks, and eye protection when handling and applying the product to minimize exposure and ensure safety.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, food, and feed. Keep out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental exposure.

Disposal: Follow local regulations for the disposal of pesticide containers and any leftover product to avoid environmental contamination.

Environmental Impact:

Selective Targeting: While effective against a wide range of pests, Benocarb 100SC has minimal impact on beneficial insects and non-target organisms when used as directed.

Environmental Safety: The active ingredients are designed to break down relatively quickly in the environment, reducing long-term residues and potential environmental impact.

Additional Application Tips:

Rotation: Use Benocarb 100SC in rotation with other insecticides with different modes of action to prevent the development of resistance in pest populations.

Tank Mixing: Benocarb 100SC can be tank-mixed with other compatible pesticides to enhance efficacy and broaden the spectrum of control. Always perform a compatibility test before mixing.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Incorporate Benocarb 100SC into an integrated pest management (IPM) program that includes cultural, biological, and mechanical control methods for sustainable pest control.

By following these guidelines and application tips, you can effectively control pests and ensure the healthy growth and productivity of your crops.
