Novaluron 5.25% + Indoxacarb 4.5 SC

Novaluron Indoxacarb SC

Novaluron Indoxacarb SC is a powerful dual-action insecticide that combines two different chemical groups — Novaluron 5.25% and Indoxacarb 4.5% — to give farmers complete protection against fruit borers, pod borers, and leaf-eating caterpillars. This combination is especially valuable in crops like tomato, chilli, and pulses, where caterpillar pests are difficult to control with a single insecticide alone.

How Novaluron Indoxacarb SC Works

This insecticide works in two different ways at the same time. Novaluron acts as a chitin synthesis inhibitor, disrupting the pest’s moulting process so it cannot grow into its next life stage. Indoxacarb blocks sodium channels in the insect’s nervous system, leading to paralysis and eventual death. Together, these two modes of action attack the pest from different angles, making it highly effective even against caterpillars that have become tolerant to common insecticides.

Why Farmers Choose This Insecticide

Many caterpillar pests like Helicoverpa and Spodoptera are known for developing resistance to regular insecticides over time, making them harder to control season after season. Novaluron Indoxacarb SC overcomes this challenge by using two different modes of action together, reducing the chances of resistance build-up significantly. Research trials have also shown improved yield and a good cost-benefit ratio when this product is used at the recommended dose during the pod and fruit development stage.

Apart from strong pest control, this product is also known for its phytotonic effect, giving an extra boost to plant health and vigour. This means farmers not only protect their crop from damaging pests but also see improved overall plant growth, which can contribute to better yield and crop quality at harvest time.

Key Benefits

• Controls fruit borer, pod borer, and leaf-eating caterpillars
• Excellent control of Helicoverpa and Spodoptera infestations
• Dual mode of action — disrupts moulting and nerve function together
• Effective even against pests showing resistance to other insecticides
• Phytotonic effect — supports better plant health and vigour
• Long-lasting field protection from a single application

Dose Chart – How Much to Use

When to Apply

• Early Pest Infestation — apply as soon as caterpillars are first noticed
• Flowering Stage — protects flowers from early borer damage
• Pod / Fruit Development Stage — prevents damage to developing pods and fruits

Suitable Crops

Best for tomato, chilli, soybean, black gram, red gram, chickpea, groundnut, and paddy. For complete crop health, many farmers also use it along with Humic Acid 98% Flakes for stronger roots, and Organic Carbon Liquid to maintain healthy soil through the season.
