ACTIVE INGREDIENT

Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG

Emamectin Benzoate is a modern insecticide derived from compounds produced through the fermentation of Streptomyces avermitilis. It belongs to the Avermectin / Macrocyclic Lactone group of insecticides.

The SG (Soluble Granule) formulation dissolves in water and provides convenient application through foliar spraying.

HOW EXYLON MECTIMAX 5 WORKS

1. Contact Action

When the spray comes into contact with the insect, the active ingredient begins affecting the pest's nervous system.

2. Ingestion Action

Larvae ingest the treated plant material while feeding. After ingestion, the insect quickly loses its ability to continue feeding.

3. Translaminar Movement

Mectimax 5 penetrates into the leaf tissue and moves across the leaf surface internally. This helps protect areas that may not receive direct spray coverage, including the underside of leaves.

4. Nervous System Disruption

Emamectin Benzoate affects glutamate-gated chloride channels and other nerve-related pathways in insects. This leads to:

Feeding cessation → paralysis → loss of movement → death

This action makes the product highly valuable for controlling actively feeding larval pests.

DOSAGE & APPLICATION

Recommended Product Dosage

10–15 g per 15 litres of water

For larger areas, the exact quantity should be calculated according to the recommended spray volume and product label instructions.

Application Method

1. Fill the spray tank partially with clean water.
2. Measure the required quantity of Mectimax 5.
3. Dissolve the product thoroughly in water.
4. Add the solution to the spray tank.
5. Add the remaining water and mix properly.
6. Spray uniformly over the crop canopy.
7. Ensure adequate coverage of leaves and pest-infested plant parts.

For best results, application during the cooler hours of early morning or late evening can help improve spray performance and reduce stress on the crop.

BEST TIME TO APPLY

Mectimax 5 should ideally be applied when:

• Early pest infestation is observed.
• Young larvae are actively feeding.
• Fresh feeding damage appears on leaves.
• Borer or caterpillar infestation begins to increase.
• Pest monitoring indicates that treatment is necessary.

Early intervention is generally more effective than waiting for severe crop damage.
