EBS Emaan-19 Insecticide

EBS Emaan-19 is a broad-spectrum contact and stomach insecticide that helps farmers control hard-to-kill caterpillars and a wide range of other crop pests. It contains Emamectin Benzoate 1.9% EC, which is a semi-synthetic compound derived from the natural avermectin family produced by Streptomyces bacteria. EBS Emaan-19 Insecticide works by acting on the insect's nervous system, blocking nerve signals and stopping feeding within hours of contact. This insecticide also shows ovi-larvicidal action, killing eggs and newly hatched larvae before they damage the crop. With a quick knockdown, low mammalian toxicity, and minimal effect on natural enemies, the product fits well in IPM programs.

EBS Emaan-19 Insecticide Dose:

Mix EBS Emaan-19 Insecticide in 150 to 200 litres of clean water per acre and spray evenly across the field. Apply at the first appearance of pests or egg masses for best results:

Note: Never exceed the recommended dose.

How to Use EBS Emaan-19 Insecticide:

1. Shake the EBS Emaan-19 bottle well before opening so the contents are evenly mixed.

2. Measure the right dose based on the crop and the table above.

3. Pour the liquid into a small amount of clean water and stir well to make a pre-mix.

4. Add this pre-mix into the spray tank, then top up with the rest of the water (150 to 200 L per acre).

5. Stir or shake the tank again so the spray solution stays uniform.

6. Use a knapsack or power sprayer with hollow-cone nozzles for fine droplets and even coverage.

7. Spray on both the upper and lower sides of leaves and on the fruiting parts where larvae usually hide.

8. Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water after the work is finished.

Best Time to Apply:

Spray EBS Emaan-19 Insecticide during the cool hours, in the early morning or late evening, when the wind is calm. Apply at the egg-laying or early larval stage of the pest, when feeding damage is still small, for the strongest impact.

Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:

• Frequency of Application: One well-timed spray of this insecticide per pest cycle is usually enough. A repeat spray can be done after 10 to 12 days if pest pressure stays high, but not more than 2 to 3 times per season.

• Re-Entry Period: Stay out of the treated field for at least 12 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.

• Compatibility: EBS Emaan-19 Insecticide is compatible with most fungicides, insecticides, and water-soluble fertilizers. Avoid mixing with strong alkaline products or Bordeaux mixture, and always do a small jar test first.

Safety Precautions and Handling:

• Do not spray EBS Emaan-19 during peak honeybee activity, since the wet spray can harm pollinators on contact even though it dries safely.

• Avoid using the same sprayer that has had a herbicide inside, as even a small leftover residue can damage the treated crop.

• Rotate EBS Emaan-19 with insecticides of a different mode of action every season, to slow down the build-up of resistance.

• Do not spray under heavy dew or wet leaf surfaces, since the spray slides off and gives poor coverage.

• If a tingling or numb feeling appears on the face or hands after spraying, wash with cool, clean water; this passes off quickly.

• Keep the spray solution off ornamental fish ponds and aquaculture tanks, as the product is highly toxic to fish and aquatic life.

• In case of accidental swallowing, do not force vomiting; take the patient to the nearest hospital along with the product label.
