Spinosad 5% + Lufenuron 10% SC – Dual-Action Insecticide for Broad-Spectrum Pest Control

Spinosad 5% + Lufenuron 10% SC is an advanced suspension concentrate insecticide that blends two complementary active ingredients for maximum pest control efficiency.

• Spinosad (5%) – A naturally derived insecticide obtained from Saccharopolyspora spinosa fermentation. It targets the insect nervous system by binding to unique nicotinic acetylcholine receptor sites, causing rapid overexcitation, paralysis, and death. It works both by contact and ingestion, delivering quick knockdown on adult pests and nymphs.
• Lufenuron (10%) – An insect growth regulator (IGR) from the benzoylurea class. It inhibits chitin synthesis in the insect’s exoskeleton, preventing successful molting and pupation. This disrupts the pest life cycle and eliminates future generations before they emerge.

Mode of Action Synergy:
By combining the fast-acting neurotoxic effect of Spinosad with the long-term developmental disruption of Lufenuron, this formulation delivers immediate visible control and extended residual protection, while significantly reducing the risk of resistance development.

Target Crops & Pests

Spinosad 5% + Lufenuron 10% SC offers broad-spectrum control against both chewing and sucking insect pests, making it suitable for multiple high-value crops across diverse climates. Its dual-action mechanism makes it particularly effective against pests at different life stages, from active adults to developing larvae.

Recommended Crop Applications & Key Pests

Crop Type	Target Pests	Benefits of Use
Cotton	Cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), Spiny bollworm (Earias insulana), Thrips (Thrips tabaci)	Protects yield during flowering and boll-setting stages; reduces secondary pest outbreaks
Tomato & Pepper	Tomato fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera), Leafminers (Liriomyza spp.), Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis)	Preserves fruit quality; minimizes cosmetic damage for market-grade produce
Potato & Other Vegetables	Tuber moth (Phthorimaea operculella), Leafminers, Cutworms	Extends storage quality; prevents tuber damage
Citrus & Other Fruit Trees	Citrus leafminer (Phyllocnistis citrella), Fruit borers, Mealybugs	Enhances marketable yield by reducing fruit scarring
Grapes	Grape berry moth (Lobesia botrana), Thrips	Protects clusters during fruit set and ripening
Ornamental Plants	Thrips, Leafminers, Caterpillars	Maintains aesthetic value for landscape and export markets

Regional Adaptation:

• Suitable for tropical, subtropical, and temperate zones.
• Performs well under both open-field and greenhouse cultivation.

Application Methods & Dosage

Spinosad 5% + Lufenuron 10% SC should be applied at the early infestation stage to achieve maximum effectiveness, targeting both active pests and their developing stages. Always ensure thorough coverage of the crop canopy for optimal results.

Recommended Application Guidelines
