Fast-Acting Caterpillar and Borer Control with Translaminar Protection
AGRIVENTURE EMABENZ SILVER is a broad-spectrum insecticide containing Emamectin Benzoate 1.9% EC. It is designed to control damaging caterpillars, bollworms, fruit borers, pod borers, leaf folders and other larval pests in field crops, vegetables and horticultural crops.
The formulation works mainly through contact and stomach action. Its translaminar movement allows the active ingredient to penetrate leaf tissue and reach insects feeding on the lower surface of leaves. Target pests stop feeding within a few hours, helping reduce further crop damage.

How EMABENZ SILVER Controls Larval Pests
Emamectin Benzoate acts on glutamate-gated and GABA-gated chloride channels in the insect’s nerve and muscle cells. This increases chloride-ion movement and interrupts normal nerve-signal transmission.
Affected insects quickly stop feeding and develop irreversible muscular paralysis, followed by death. This rapid feeding cessation helps prevent additional damage to leaves, flowers, fruits, pods and tender shoots.
Mode of Entry
Contact Action: The active ingredient affects insects coming into direct contact with treated surfaces.
Stomach Action: Larvae are controlled after consuming treated foliage or crop tissue.
Translaminar Action: The insecticide penetrates leaf tissue and reaches pests feeding on the opposite leaf surface.
Recommended Dose and Application
Per 15-litre spray pump: 20–25 ml
Apply as a uniform foliar spray at the first appearance of larvae or feeding damage.
Cover both upper and lower surfaces of the leaves thoroughly.
Use sufficient clean water to obtain complete crop-canopy coverage.
Follow the crop-specific dosage and application instructions printed on the product label.
Best Stage for Application
Apply AGRIVENTURE EMABENZ SILVER during the early larval stage, when caterpillars are small and fresh feeding symptoms first become visible. Early application generally provides better control and helps prevent serious crop loss.
