Product Introduction

Indoxacarb is a high-performance oxadiazine insecticide used for the control of lepidopteran larvae and selected chewing pests in vegetables, fruits, cotton, and field crops.It delivers fast feeding cessation combined with long residual activity, helping growers minimize crop damage while supporting sustainable resistance management programs.

Mode of Action

Indoxacarb works by blocking voltage-dependent sodium channels in insect nerve cells.
Once ingested or contacted, it is bioactivated within the insect body, causing rapid feeding stoppage, paralysis, and eventual death, while maintaining high selectivity toward non-target organisms.

Product Advantages

• Unique mode of action effective against resistant pest populations

• Rapid feeding inhibition, reducing crop damage quickly

• Long-lasting residual control

• Dual action via ingestion and contact

• High crop safety when applied as recommended

• Suitable for IPM and resistance rotation strategies

Appearance

• Technical Grade: Off-white to light beige crystalline powder

• Formulated Products (SC / WG): 

• Odor: Slight characteristic odor

• Stability: Excellent physical and chemical stability during storage and transportation

Precautions

• Rotate with insecticides of different modes of action to delay resistance

• Do not exceed recommended dosage or application frequency

• Wear protective equipment during mixing and spraying

• Avoid application under strong wind conditions

• Observe local pre-harvest intervals and safety regulations
