How It Works: Mode of Action
- Stomach & Contact Action: The insecticide enters the pest primarily through feeding (ingestion) and contact with treated leaves.
- Nerve System Attack: Emamectin Benzoate binds to chloride channels in the insect's nerves, causing irreversible paralysis and death.
- Molting Inhibition (Xpert Plus): The added Novaluron stops larvae from molting (growing), effectively breaking the pest's lifecycle.
This multi-pronged attack ensures that even pests hiding under leaves (due to translaminar action) are eliminated.

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 (g/ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g/ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 76 - 88 g | 200 L | 0.44 g | 10-15 |
| Chilli | 80 g | 200 L | 0.4 g | 7 |
| Cabbage / Pulses | 60 - 88 g | 150 - 200 L | 0.4 - 0.5 g | 3-7 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note: Dosage refers to Granules (g) for Xpert and Liquid (ml) for Xpert Plus.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray at the early stages of larval infestation for maximum kill rates.
- Mixing: Dissolve granules completely in a small quantity of water before adding to the main tank.
- Coverage: Ensure the spray covers both sides of the leaves, as pests often hide underneath.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
