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.
Key Features and Benefits of EBS Emazoate-19Insecticide:
- Broad-Spectrum Control: EBS Emazoate-19controls bollworms, fruit borers, leaf folders, tobacco caterpillars, diamondback moth, thrips, and mites.

How to Use EBS Emazoate-19Insecticide:
- 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) — EBS Emazoate-19Insecticide:
Q1. How fast does EBS Emazoate-19kill bollworms and fruit borers?
EBS Emazoate-19stops pest feeding within a few hours of contact, and visible kill happens within 1 to 3 days. The pest becomes paralyzed and stops damaging the crop almost immediately after spraying.
Q2. Will pests develop resistance to this insecticide?
Resistance can build up if this insecticide is used too often in the same crop season. To slow this down, rotate the product with insecticides from other IRAC groups, and stick to the labelled dose.
Q3. Is EBS Emazoate-19safe for honeybees, fish, and natural enemies?
EBS Emazoate-19has a low impact on natural enemies like ladybugs and spiders. However, it is toxic to honeybees on direct contact and highly toxic to fish, so avoid spraying during flowering hours or near water bodies.
Q4. Can EBS Emazoate-19be tank-mixed with fungicides and fertilizers?
Yes, EBS Emazoate-19is compatible with most common fungicides, insecticides, and water-soluble fertilizers. Avoid alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture and lime sulphur, and run a small jar test before tank mixing.
