Emamectin Benzoate is highly effective against lepidopteran larvae (e.g., armyworms, bollworms) and certain leafminers in vegetables, fruits, and field crops. It provides excellent control of resistant strains that are difficult to manage with conventional insecticides.

As a macrocyclic lactone (Group 6), it activates glutamate-gated chloride channels in insect nerves, causing paralysis and death. The compound has both contact and ingestion toxicity with strong translaminar movement in plant tissues.

Yes, it shows good compatibility with most fungicides and insecticides. However, avoid alkaline mixtures (pH>8) and always conduct a jar test before large-scale mixing to check for precipitation.

It has moderate toxicity to some parasitoids and predators. Applications should be timed to avoid peak activity periods of beneficials, and selective spraying (spot treatments) can help preserve natural enemies.

This is a restricted-use pesticide in many regions. Applicators must wear chemical-resistant gloves and protective clothing. Observe strict PHIs (typically 7-14 days) and prevent drift to aquatic environments due to high fish toxicity.
