Correct Methods for Using Emamectin Benzoate and Lufenuron

Emamectin benzoate and lufenuron is a new-type benzoylurea insecticide, and it is currently well loved by a large number of farmers. So what are the methods for using emamectin benzoate and lufenuron? Let's learn about it together.

1. Methods for using emamectin benzoate and lufenuron

For leaf rollers, leafminers, apple rust mites, codling moths, and so on, 5 grams of active ingredient can be mixed with 100 kg of water for spraying. For tomato fruitworms, beet armyworms, flower thrips, tomatoes, cotton bollworms, potato stem borers, tomato rust mites, eggplant fruit borers, diamondback moths, and so on, 3~4 grams of active ingredient can be mixed with 100 kg of water for spraying. When using, attention should be paid to alternating with other pesticides such as chlorpyrifos, abamectin, and ivermectin.

2. Uses of emamectin benzoate and lufenuron

Lufenuron is the newest generation of substituted urea insecticides. The pesticide kills pests by acting on insect larvae and preventing the molting process, and it has excellent control efficacy especially against leaf-eating caterpillars on fruit trees; it has a unique killing mechanism against thrips, rust mites, and whiteflies, and is suitable for controlling pests that have developed resistance to synthetic pyrethroids and organophosphorus pesticides.

The pesticide has a long residual efficacy period, which helps reduce the number of spray applications; it is safe for crops and can be used on crops such as corn, vegetables, citrus, cotton, potatoes, grapes, and soybeans, making it suitable for integrated pest management. The pesticide will not cause resurgence of piercing-sucking mouthpart pests, and has a mild effect on beneficial insect adults and predatory spiders. The efficacy is long-lasting, resistant to rain washing, and selective toward beneficial arthropod adults.

After application, the initial action is slow, and it has an ovicidal function, killing newly laid eggs, with effects seen 2~3 days after application. It is low in toxicity to honeybees and bumblebees, and low in toxicity to mammals and mites, so it can be used while bees are foraging. It is relatively safer than organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides, can be used as a good mixing agent, and has good control efficacy against lepidopteran pests. At low doses, it still has good control efficacy against caterpillars and good control efficacy against flower thrips larvae; it can prevent virus transmission and can effectively control lepidopteran pests resistant to pyrethroids and organophosphorus pesticides. The pesticide is selective, long-lasting, and has good control efficacy against late-stage potato stem borers. It can reduce the number of spray applications and can significantly increase yield.

Although the effect of emamectin benzoate and lufenuron is very good, the dosage must be paid attention to when using it, so as to avoid pesticide damage.
