Rimon is a unique insecticide that works as an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR).1 It's manufactured by Indofil Industries Limited and contains Novaluron 10% EC as its active ingredient.2 Unlike traditional insecticides that target adult insects, Rimon focuses on disrupting the growth and development of insect larvae, offering a different approach to pest control.3

Mode of Action:

Rimon inhibits chitin synthesis in insects.4 Chitin is a crucial component of the insect exoskeleton (outer shell).5 By disrupting chitin formation, Rimon prevents larvae from molting properly, leading to their death.6 This unique mode of action makes it an excellent tool for resistance management.7

Key Features and Benefits:

• Larvicide and ovicide: Targets eggs and larvae, preventing the next generation of pests from developing.8

• Long residual control: Provides extended protection against pests.9

• Resistance management: Effective against pests that have developed resistance to conventional insecticides.10

• Safe for beneficial insects: Generally does not harm beneficial insects like pollinators and natural predators, making it compatible with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.11

• Fast knockdown effect: Larvae stop feeding within 2-3 hours of ingestion and die within 2-3 days.12

• Improves quality of produce: Helps to produce higher quality crops by reducing damage from pests.13

• Early crop maturity: Can accelerate crop maturity in some crops like cabbage, cauliflower, and cotton.14

Rimon is applied as a foliar spray. It's important to ensure thorough coverage of the crop for optimal results.
