How and When to Spray Indoxacarb 14.5% SC
When to spray: Apply at the first sign of pest infestation. Spray during early larval stage for best control. Do not wait for heavy infestation.
Time of day: Spray in the early morning or late evening. Avoid spraying in direct midday heat or during rain.
Method:
- Fill the sprayer tank half with water.
- Add the measured dose of Indoxacarb 14.5% SC.
- Top up with remaining water. Shake or agitate well.
- Spray to cover all leaf surfaces — top and bottom.
- Use a knapsack or power sprayer at standard nozzle pressure.
Spray interval: Do not repeat spray within 10–14 days. Do not apply more than 2 sprays per season to manage resistance.
PHI (Pre-Harvest Interval): Observe crop-specific PHI before harvesting (refer to dose table above).
Rainy conditions: Do not spray if rain is expected within 4 hours of application.
Mode of Action How Indoxacarb Works
It blocks neuronal sodium channels in the insect nervous system. After contact or ingestion, the pest stops feeding within 1–4 hours. The larva becomes paralysed and dies within 2–4 days. This anti-feedant effect protects the crop from further damage even before the pest dies.
Because indoxacarb works through a unique mode of action (oxadiazine class), it is useful for resistance management when rotated with organophosphates or pyrethroids.
Key Benefits of Indoxacarb 14.5% SC
- Controls both contact and stomach-feeding pests
- Fast anti-feedant effect pest stops damaging crop within hours
- Effective at early larval stage before damage escalates
- Non-phytotoxic at recommended dose
