Mode of Action: How It Works
Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG works through both contact and stomach action. After ingestion or contact, it binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels in the insect's nervous system. This causes rapid paralysis of mouthparts pests stop feeding within hours. The insect becomes fully paralyzed and dies within 2–4 days.
Its translaminar movement allows it to penetrate leaf tissues and reach pests hidden on the underside of leaves or inside plant tissue including stem borers and fruit borers that are not visible from outside.

| IRAC Group | Group 6 (Avermectin) |
| Movement in plant | Translaminar |
