Use The product is highly active against many larvae of Lepidoptera and some other insects, and can move into plant cuticula through osmosis to form active ingredient. Research trials indicate that emamectin benzoate is effective even at very low application rates and is not disruptive to beneficial arthropods in integrated pest management programs(IPM).
