HINTHORA is a powerful insecticide produced by HPM India. It combines two active ingredients for a dual mode of action against a wide range of Lepidopteran pests (caterpillars, moths, butterflies):
Novaluron 5.25%: A chitin synthesis inhibitor, disrupting the molting process of insects.
Indoxacarb 4.5%: A sodium channel blocker, affecting the nervous system of insects.
This combination makes HINTHORA a highly effective solution for controlling tough pests while managing resistance development.
Key features and benefits:
Broad-spectrum activity: HINTHORA effectively controls a wide range of lepidopteran pests, including Helicoverpa armigera (cotton bollworm), Spodoptera litura (tobacco cutworm), and other caterpillars in various crops.
Dual mode of action: The combination of Novaluron and Indoxacarb offers two different ways to kill pests, reducing the likelihood of resistance development.
Contact and stomach action: It works by both contacting the pest and being ingested, leading to quick and effective control.
Long-lasting residual control: HINTHORA provides extended protection, reducing the frequency of applications.
Ovicidal activity: It also has a toxic effect on the eggs of some species, further disrupting the pest life cycle.
Reduced fecundity: In some cases, HINTHORA can reduce the reproductive capacity of the pests.
Phytotonic effect: It has a stimulating effect on plants, improving their vigor and overall health.
Mode of action:
Novaluron: Disrupts the formation of chitin, a key component of the insect exoskeleton. This prevents molting, leading to the death of the larvae.
Indoxacarb: Blocks sodium channels in the insect's nervous system, causing paralysis and ultimately death.
Recommended crops:
HINTHORA is particularly effective on:
Tomato
Cotton
Other crops infested with lepidopteran pests
Application:
HINTHORA is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation. It should be diluted with water according to the recommended dosage and applied as a foliar spray. Ensure thorough coverage of the crop for optimal results. Always refer to the product label for specific instructions.
Safety precautions:
