AGRIVO EMA NOVA – Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC

What is AGRIVO EMA NOVA?

AGRIVO EMA NOVA is an advanced combination insecticide designed to manage damaging larval and caterpillar pests at different stages of their development.

The formulation combines Novaluron, an insect growth regulator that interferes with chitin formation and moulting, with Emamectin Benzoate, which acts on the insect nervous system and causes susceptible larvae to stop feeding.

This combination provides two complementary modes of action within a single formulation, making it useful for managing important lepidopteran pests when applied according to the approved product label.

How Does AGRIVO EMA NOVA Work?

Novaluron 5.25%

Novaluron acts as an insect growth regulator. It interferes with chitin formation, which is essential for the development and moulting of insect larvae. This disrupts the normal development of susceptible immature pests.

Emamectin Benzoate 0.9%

Emamectin Benzoate acts primarily through ingestion and has translaminar activity in treated leaves. Susceptible caterpillars stop feeding after exposure, helping reduce further crop damage.

Together, these active ingredients provide control at both the feeding and developmental stages of susceptible caterpillar pests.

Key Benefits of AGRIVO EMA NOVA

• Dual-action formulation with Novaluron and Emamectin Benzoate
• Effective against a range of important lepidopteran caterpillars and borers
• Helps reduce larval feeding and subsequent crop damage
• Novaluron targets insect growth and moulting
• Emamectin Benzoate provides activity against actively feeding larvae
• Suitable for important crops including rice, chilli, cabbage and red gram under approved uses
• Suspension Concentrate formulation for spray application
• Can form part of a resistance-management and integrated pest-management programme when used according to label directions

AGRIVO EMA NOVA Uses, Crops & Target Pests

Common registered uses of Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC include:

Indian registration decisions have also expanded claims for this formulation to additional crop-pest combinations under specific registrations, including brinjal shoot and fruit borer, chickpea pod borer, maize fall armyworm, and certain pests in soybean and groundnut. The exact AGRIVO EMA NOVA label should therefore be followed to determine which expanded uses apply to this particular marketed product.

AGRIVO EMA NOVA for Chilli

Caterpillars such as Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera litura can damage chilli plants and developing fruits.

The Novaluron + Emamectin Benzoate combination is registered for management of these important chilli pests. Its dual mode of action helps target actively feeding larvae while also interfering with normal larval development.

AGRIVO EMA NOVA for Cabbage

Cabbage crops are particularly vulnerable to caterpillar pests such as diamondback moth and tobacco caterpillar.

Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC is used for management of these pests, helping protect foliage from larval feeding damage when applied at the appropriate stage.

AGRIVO EMA NOVA for Paddy

In rice, stem borer can damage tillers and reproductive parts of the plant.

Novaluron + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC has a registered use against rice stem borer and provides another option within a properly planned rice pest-management programme.

AGRIVO EMA NOVA for Red Gram / Tur

Gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera) is an important pest of red gram and can cause direct damage to developing pods and seeds.

This Novaluron + Emamectin Benzoate combination is registered for management of gram pod borer in red gram.

Application Guidelines

AGRIVO EMA NOVA is an SC formulation intended for spray application. The exact dosage, water volume, application interval, crop stage, waiting period and number of applications should be taken from the AGRIVO EMA NOVA registered label and leaflet.

Do not copy dosage recommendations from another company’s Novaluron + Emamectin product unless the label claims and registration conditions are confirmed to be identical.

Why Choose AGRIVO EMA NOVA?

AGRIVO EMA NOVA combines two insecticidal modes of action in one formulation. Rather than relying on a single mechanism, Novaluron targets larval development while Emamectin Benzoate acts against feeding larvae.

This makes the formulation particularly relevant for managing caterpillar and borer complexes in crops where larval feeding can cause significant economic damage.
