How It Works: Mode of Action
X-Pert Power uses a neurotoxic mechanism to target the central nervous system of insects.
[Image of Emamectin Benzoate mode of action diagram]- Paralysis: It binds to chloride channels in the insect's nerves, causing a massive flow of ions that blocks nerve signals.
- Stop Feeding: The pest becomes paralyzed and stops eating your crop almost immediately after contact or ingestion.
- Hidden Control: Through translaminar action, the chemical moves through the leaf to kill larvae feeding on the other side.
Result: While death may take 2-3 days, crop damage stops within hours.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton / Tomato | 216 ml | 200 - 250 L | ~ 1.0 ml | 7 - 10 |
| Paddy / Soybean | 75 - 150 ml | 200 L | 0.5 - 0.75 ml | 7 - 10 |
| Chili / Chickpea | 75 - 150 ml | 200 L | 0.5 - 0.75 ml | 7 - 10 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the very first sign of pest incidence for maximum cost-efficiency.
- Mixing: Mix the recommended dose in 200-250 litres of clean water per acre to ensure full foliage coverage.
- Coverage: Spray along the wind direction (never against it) to avoid drift and ensure the chemical lands on the crop.
