Rilon Insecticide Technical Details
-
Technical Content: Emamectin benzoate 5% SG
-
Mode of Entry: Stomach and Contact action
-
Mode of Action: Rilon Insecticide penetrates into leaf tissues (translaminar activity) and forms a reservoir within the leaf. It inhibits muscle contraction, causing a continuous flow of chlorine ions in the GABA and H-Glutamate receptor sites. Affected larvae become paralyzed and stop feeding shortly after exposure to Rilon Insecticide and subsequently die after 2-4 days.
