Gunther is a broad-spectrum insecticide produced by UPL Limited. It combines two active ingredients, Novaluron 5.25% and Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC, offering a dual mode of action for effective pest control.

Key features and benefits:

• Dual mode of action: Combines an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) and a neurotoxin for enhanced efficacy and resistance management.

• Broad-spectrum control: Effective against a wide range of lepidopteran pests (caterpillars), including bollworms, fruit borers, stem borers, and diamondback moths.

• Quick knockdown: Emamectin Benzoate provides rapid paralysis of target pests, minimizing crop damage.

• Long-lasting residual activity: Novaluron offers extended control by disrupting the molting process of insects.

• Suitable for various crops: Can be used on cotton, vegetables (tomatoes, brinjal, okra), and fruit orchards.

Mode of action:

• Novaluron: An IGR that inhibits chitin synthesis, preventing insects from molting properly and causing mortality.

• Emamectin Benzoate: A neurotoxin that activates glutamate-gated chloride channels, leading to paralysis and death of the target pests.
