Elpida Insecticide

Godrej Agrovet’s Elpida (Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG) is a high-efficacy, fast-acting insecticide ideal for combating key lepidopteran and chewing pests across a range of crops. Its selective mode of action, environmental compatibility, and pest resistance management qualities make it an excellent choice for sustainable crop protection.

Mode of Action & Benefits

• Nerve Paralysis Mechanism: Acts as a chloride channel activator targeting GABA and glutamate receptors in insect nerve cells—causing continuous chlorine ion flow, paralysis, and cessation of feeding often within hours.

• Fast and Potent: Quickly stops pests from feeding, even within the egg stage, offering long-lasting residual activity.

• Translaminar Action: Penetrates leaf tissues to reach hidden pests on the underside.

• Selective & Eco-Friendly: Low intrinsic toxicity and rapid breakdown reduce impact on beneficial insects, aligning well with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies.

• Resistance Management: Unique mode of action lowers the risk of cross-resistance to other classes of insecticides.
