Target Crops
- Mode of Action : Indoxacarb blocks sodium channels in insect nerve cells.
- Effect : This disruption of nerve function leads to insect paralysis and eventual death.
- Application: It can kill insects through direct contact or ingestion (stomach action).
- Pest Control : It is particularly effective against caterpillars and other chewing insects, with symptoms like reduced feeding and paralysis appearing within hours of exposure, and death occurring within 24-60 hours.
- Target Pests : Commonly controls pests such as bollworms, fruit borers, diamondback moths, and other lepidopteran larvae.
- Target Crops : Used on crops including cotton, chili, tomato, cabbage, and pigeon peas.
