Silver Larvasine Emamectin Benzoate 1.9% EC Insecticide

Larvasine – Emamectin Benzoate 1.9% EC Insecticide

Larvasine contains Emamectin Benzoate 1.9% EC, a highly effective insecticide formulated as a water-soluble liquid. It is widely recommended for the control of bollworms in cotton and other major caterpillar pests across field and horticultural crops. With strong stomach action, the insecticide must be ingested by the larvae for maximum effectiveness. Once consumed, the larvae become paralyzed, stop feeding almost immediately, and eventually die within 2–4 days, preventing further crop damage.
