EBS Emazoate-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 Emazoate-19Insecticide 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.

How to Use EBS Emazoate-19 Insecticide:
- Shake the EBS Emazoate-19bottle well before opening so the contents are evenly mixed.
- Measure the right dose based on the crop and the table above.
- Pour the liquid into a small amount of clean water and stir well to make a pre-mix.
- Add this pre-mix into the spray tank, then top up with the rest of the water (150 to 200 L per acre).
- Stir or shake the tank again so the spray solution stays uniform.
- Use a knapsack or power sprayer with hollow-cone nozzles for fine droplets and even coverage.
- Spray on both the upper and lower sides of leaves and on the fruiting parts where larvae usually hide.
- Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water after the work is finished.
Best Time to Apply:
Spray EBS Emazoate-19Insecticide 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 Emazoate-19Insecticide 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 Emazoate-19during 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 Emazoate-19with 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.
