Irma is a stomach action and should be ingested by the large to be most effective. Affected larvae become paralyzed and stop feeding shortly after exposure to Irma and subsequently die after 2-4 days.
- Emamectin is a derivative of abamectin produced by the fermentation of oil actinomycetes, streptomyces and avermitilis.
