Indoxacarb 150 g/L SC Insecticide | Suspension Concentrate for Lepidopteran Control

Indoxacarb belongs to the oxadiazine chemical class and is widely recognized for its effectiveness against chewing pests, especially larvae feeding on leaves, stems and fruit tissues. As a 150 g/L SC, the product contains finely milled active ingredient dispersed in water, ensuring easy mixing, strong suspension stability, low odour and excellent compatibility with typical spray equipment.

This product is typically positioned for:

• Intensive vegetable production (cabbage, brassicas, leafy crops, root crops)
• High-value fruits (kiwifruit, peach, jujube, apricot)
• Specialty and ornamental crops vulnerable to leaf-feeding or internal-boring larvae
• IPM programs requiring rotation among different insecticide modes of action

Active Ingredient & Formulation

Indoxacarb Profile

• Active ingredient: Indoxacarb – 150 g/L
• Chemical group: Oxadiazine insecticide
• CAS number: 144171-61-9
• Mode-of-action classification: Voltage-dependent sodium channel blocker (IRAC Group 22A)

Indoxacarb acts as a “pro-insecticide,” meaning it is converted inside the insect to a more active metabolite—contributing to high potency, strong selectivity and consistent performance against larvae.

Why Suspension Concentrate (SC)?

• Water-based formulation with low odour
• Easy to pour, measure and mix
• Excellent particle dispersion for uniform spray coverage
• Reduced solvent content compared with EC formulations
• Strong physical stability for long-distance shipping and storage

Although not fully systemic, indoxacarb has translaminar movement that allows it to act within leaf tissues, providing a systemic-like effect when coverage is adequate.

Mode of Action

Indoxacarb offers a unique and highly effective mode of action compared with traditional insecticides.

• Targets voltage-dependent sodium channels in insect nerve cells at a distinct binding site.
• After ingestion or contact, indoxacarb is metabolized to an active compound that blocks sodium ion flow.
• This leads to rapid feeding cessation, loss of coordination, paralysis and eventual death.
• While mortality may occur over several hours to days, feeding stops almost immediately, minimizing crop damage.

Because it works differently from organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids and neonicotinoids, indoxacarb is valuable for resistance management and rotation programs.

Target Pests and Crops

Key Target Pests

Indoxacarb 150 g/L SC is suited for a wide range of lepidopteran pests, including:

• Beet armyworm and other Spodoptera species
• Diamondback moth
• Cabbage worm and small cabbage moth
• Leafrollers, leaf folders and fruit borers
• Clearwing borers (especially on kiwifruit)
• Leafhoppers and small sucking insects where registered

Typical Crop Coverage

• Vegetables: Cabbage, brassicas, asparagus, sweet potato, allium crops such as scallion or green onion
• Fruits: Kiwifruit, peach, apricot, jujube, related orchard crops
• Specialty crops: Ornamental peony, honeysuckle, and other specialty species subject to local testing

Crop–pest combinations vary by country and registration status. Always follow local label approvals.

Application and Use Considerations

This section provides general guidelines. Always comply with your national label.

• Best applied at egg hatch or early larval stage. Young larvae ingest more treated surface, ensuring optimal control.
• Ensure uniform coverage on leaves, growing points and, where relevant, fruiting structures.
• Respect label recommendations on water volume, spray interval and maximum number of applications per season.
• Avoid application during strong winds or when rain is expected shortly after spraying.
• Conduct small-scale compatibility or phytotoxicity tests for minor or local specialty crops prior to broad application.

For long-term effectiveness, rotate indoxacarb with insecticides from different MOA groups as part of your IPM strategy.

Advantages for Distributors and Growers

Agronomic Benefits

• High efficacy on key caterpillars and borers
  Protects high-value crops from severe defoliation, boring injury and market-quality reduction.
• Fast feeding cessation
  Damage is minimized quickly, even before visible mortality occurs, which is essential for crops sold on appearance and uniformity.
• Good selectivity
  Supports beneficial insects and IPM systems better than many older broad-spectrum insecticides.
• Low-odour, easy-to-handle formulation
  Enhances operator comfort and makes the product attractive for both retail and professional markets.

Commercial Benefits for B2B Clients

• Low active ingredient rate per hectare, reducing distributor logistics costs
• Strong global market acceptance for vegetable and fruit crop protection
• Flexible packaging suitable for diverse distribution channels
• Document support for registration, helping buyers accelerate market entry

Safety, Toxicology and Environmental Notes

Human Safety

Indoxacarb is a regulated agricultural pesticide and must be handled responsibly:

• Avoid inhalation of spray mist and direct skin or eye contact.
• Wear protective gloves, long sleeves/pants, eye protection and a suitable mask during mixing and spraying.
• Wash hands, face and exposed skin thoroughly after handling and before meals.
• Store securely, away from children, food, feed and non-target items.
• If exposure occurs, follow local medical guidance; treatment is symptomatic.

Pets and Non-Target Species

• This agricultural SC formulation is not intended for use on animals or indoors.
• Prevent exposure of dogs, cats or livestock to the concentrate or fresh spray.
• Do not use around aquaculture ponds—indoxacarb is toxic to aquatic organisms.
• Avoid application near bee colonies, silk-worm houses or areas with active beneficial insect releases.

Environmental Protection

• Do not clean equipment in rivers, ponds or irrigation channels.
• Do not dispose of leftover spray solution in water bodies.
• Follow local rules regarding buffer zones and protection of sensitive species.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is indoxacarb?
Indoxacarb is a modern oxadiazine insecticide used in crop protection and, in separate bait formulations, for structural pest control. It disrupts nerve activity in insects, causing rapid feeding cessation and death.

How does indoxacarb work?
It blocks voltage-dependent sodium channels in insect nerve cells. Once ingested or contacted, it stops feeding quickly, then leads to paralysis and death.

How long does it take for indoxacarb to work?
Larvae usually stop feeding shortly after exposure, limiting further crop damage. Mortality becomes visible within hours to a few days, depending on the pest and conditions.

Is indoxacarb systemic?
It is not fully systemic but has translaminar movement that provides systemic-like benefits when good coverage is achieved.

Does indoxacarb kill roaches or ants?
Only indoxacarb baits or gels formulated for structural control are intended for roaches or ants. This agricultural SC formulation must be used strictly on registered crops and pests.

Is indoxacarb safe for dogs, cats or humans?
The concentrate and fresh spray should not contact pets or people. When used by trained operators with proper PPE, it is designed to be used safely. Accidental exposure should be managed by medical or veterinary professionals.

What is indoxacarb used for in agriculture?
It is used on vegetables, fruits and specialty crops to control caterpillars, leaf-feeding larvae and borers that cause economic damage.
