Larva Lock is described for larval pest management across a broad range of agricultural and horticultural crops, including:
Apply only where the crop and pest use is consistent with the current product label and manufacturer recommendations.
Larva Lock contains botanical herbal extracts intended to affect susceptible larval pests through multiple plant-derived compounds. The product is described as helping interfere with normal feeding and development of leaf-eating caterpillars and borers.
Plant-derived alkaloids and naturally occurring compounds in the formulation are described as affecting larval feeding and normal development, while plant-based fatty-acid components may contribute to repellent effects against feeding, egg laying and habitat selection.
Larvae can cause substantial crop injury because of their strong chewing mouthparts and rapid feeding. Larva Lock is designed to help reduce this feeding activity, thereby limiting further damage to leaves, flowers, fruits and pods.
Bollworms are important pests of crops such as cotton and can attack tender reproductive plant parts. Larva Lock is described for use against cotton bollworm and other caterpillar-type pests as part of a need-based pest-management program.
Fruit-borer larvae can penetrate developing fruits, making them difficult to manage once they are deeply established. Timely application during early infestation can help expose young larvae before extensive boring damage occurs.
Leaf-eating caterpillars can rapidly reduce healthy foliage under heavy infestation. Larva Lock is intended to help suppress susceptible caterpillar populations by interfering with their feeding and developmental processes.
| Pest Pressure | Recommended Dose |
|---|---|
| Normal Attack | 1.5 ml per litre of water |
| Heavy Attack | 2 ml per litre of water |
Larva Lock is intended for foliar spray application. Always confirm the current product label before application, as dosage and spray volume may vary according to crop, pest pressure and local growing conditions.
Apply Larva Lock when caterpillars or larvae are first observed or during the early stages of infestation. Young larvae are generally easier to expose to foliar treatments before they move deep inside fruits, stems or pods.
Regular crop scouting can help determine the appropriate application time and reduce unnecessary spraying.
Larva Lock can be used as part of an integrated pest-management strategy that combines regular crop scouting, field sanitation, conservation of beneficial insects and other suitable biological, cultural and chemical control measures.
For severe or persistent infestations, assess pest populations regularly and follow appropriate crop-specific pest-management recommendations.
Before combining Larva Lock with pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers or foliar nutrients, check compatibility instructions on the labels of all products involved.
