Adama Plethora Insecticide – Novaluron 5.25% + Indoxacarb 4.5% SC | Broad-Spectrum Lepidopteran Pest Control

Description

Adama Plethora is a powerful broad-spectrum insecticide combining Novaluron 5.25% and Indoxacarb 4.5% SC. Designed to target lepidopteran pests such as fruit borers, pod borers, and caterpillars, it is ideal for protecting crops like chilli, cotton, cabbage, redgram, and other pulses. Its dual-action formula delivers rapid knockdown and sustained residual control.

🌿 Key Features & Benefits

• Dual-mode action: Novaluron acts as a chitin synthesis inhibitor; Indoxacarb blocks sodium ion channels
• Effective on all larval stages: Controls young and mature caterpillars and borers
• Contact and ingestion activity: Kills pests on contact and when ingested
• Ovicidal and larvicidal: Disrupts pest life cycle from egg to adult
• Extended residual effect: Offers crop protection for 10–14 days
• Crop-safe: Minimal phytotoxicity when applied as recommended

🧪 How It Works

• Indoxacarb: A neurotoxin that blocks sodium channels in the insect’s nervous system, causing paralysis and death.
• Novaluron: Prevents chitin formation, disrupting molting and larval development.

Together, these active ingredients provide comprehensive control of lepidopteran pests by killing larvae and inhibiting development at multiple life stages.
