FAQ's of Novaluron 10% EC:
Q: How does Novaluron 10% EC work to control insect pests?
A: Novaluron 10% EC acts as a chitin synthesis inhibitor, disrupting the molting process in insects. This action prevents pests such as caterpillars, borers, and bollworms from growing and developing normally, leading to effective pest population control.
Q: What is the recommended dosage and application process for Novaluron 10% EC?
A: Apply Novaluron 10% EC at a rate of 75-100 ml per acre, depending on crop type and infestation severity. Dilute the required quantity in water (based on sprayer capacity) and spray uniformly over the affected crop areas for optimal results.
Q: When should Novaluron 10% EC be applied to crops?
A: It is best to apply Novaluron 10% EC at the onset of pest infestation or at the early larval stage for maximum efficacy. Timely use helps prevent pest buildup and crop damage, especially during active pest growth periods.
Q: Which crops and pests are targeted by Novaluron 10% EC?
A: Novaluron 10% EC is recommended for oilseeds, cotton, vegetables, rice, pulses, and fruits. It effectively controls Lepidopteran pests such as caterpillars, leaf folders, borers, fruit borers, and bollworms.
Q: What are the benefits of using Novaluron 10% EC on farms?
A: Novaluron 10% EC provides prolonged pest control, supports high-quality yields, and is safe for both humans and beneficial insects like bees and parasitoids. Its selectivity aids integrated pest management strategies and reduces the impact on non-target organisms.
Q: How should Novaluron 10% EC be stored for optimal shelf life?
A: Store Novaluron 10% EC in its original, tightly closed HDPE bottle in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Proper storage preserves efficacy for up to two years from the date of manufacture.
