EBS Nimon is an insect growth regulator containing Novaluron 10% EC, belonging to the Benzoylurea group. Once ingested by larvae, it inhibits chitin synthesis and stops molting in larvae, which leads to death. Novaluron 10% EC works immediately and controls pests like fruit borer, caterpillar, and diamondback moth through contact and stomach action. EBS Nimon is safe for beneficial insects like pollinators, making it ideal for IPM programs. It is a trusted solution for Cotton, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Tomato, Chilli, and other crops across India.
