Best Agrolife Nemagen Insecticide - Chlorantraniliprole 4.5% + Novaluron 11.5% + Emamectin Benzoate 1.5% SE for Brinjal Shoot & Fruit Borer

Best Agrolife Nemagen is a powerful, broad-spectrum insecticide specifically formulated to protect Brinjal (eggplant) crops from the destructive Shoot & Fruit Borer. This advanced product combines three potent active ingredients — Chlorantraniliprole 4.5%, Novaluron 11.5%, and Emamectin Benzoate 1.5% — in a Suspension Emulsion (SE) formulation. Each ingredient works through a different mechanism, making Nemagen a highly effective solution for managing one of the most challenging pests in brinjal farming.

Shoot and Fruit Borer is a major threat to brinjal crops across India, causing damage to tender shoots and developing fruits, which can lead to 30-50% yield loss if not controlled in time. Nemagen offers farmers a reliable, triple-action defense that targets the pest at multiple stages of its lifecycle. The product is registered under the 9(3) Formulation Indigenous Manufacture (FIM) by Best Agrolife Limited, a trusted name in Indian agriculture. Available in convenient pack sizes of 100ml, 250ml, 500ml, and 1 litre, Nemagen is easy to use and delivers long-lasting protection when applied as a foliar spray.

Key Benefits

• Triple-action pest control — Three different active ingredients work together to attack pests through nerve disruption, growth regulation, and muscle paralysis, reducing the chance of resistance development.
• Effective against Shoot & Fruit Borer — Specifically targets the most damaging pest in brinjal, protecting both shoots and developing fruits from infestation.
• Long-lasting protection — Provides extended control, reducing the need for frequent re-application and saving time and labour in the field.
• Systemic and contact action — Works both on contact with the pest and through systemic movement within the plant, ensuring thorough coverage and protection.
• Healthy crop, better yield — By preventing pest damage at critical growth stages, Nemagen helps brinjal plants grow vigorously and produce higher-quality fruits.
• Easy-to-use SE formulation — The Suspension Emulsion formulation mixes easily with water and provides uniform spray coverage on the crop.

How It Works

Nemagen combines three different modes of action in a single product, making it highly effective against Shoot & Fruit Borer while also helping to manage pest resistance.

Chlorantraniliprole (4.5%) belongs to the diamide chemical group. It works by disrupting the calcium balance in insect muscle cells. When the pest ingests or comes in contact with this ingredient, it causes uncontrolled muscle contraction, leading to rapid paralysis and death. This ingredient is known for its quick action and long residual activity.

Novaluron (11.5%) is an insect growth regulator (IGR). It inhibits chitin synthesis, which means it stops the pest from forming a proper outer shell or cuticle during moulting. Young larvae that are exposed to Novaluron cannot complete their development and die before reaching the next stage. This makes it especially effective against egg and early larval stages.

Emamectin Benzoate (1.5%) is a neurotoxin derived from naturally occurring soil bacteria. It targets the pest's nervous system by activating chloride channels, causing loss of cell function, paralysis, and eventual death. It works effectively through both contact and ingestion.

Together, these three ingredients provide comprehensive protection — Chlorantraniliprole acts fast on active larvae, Novaluron stops new generations from developing, and Emamectin Benzoate delivers strong neurotoxic action. The SE (Suspension Emulsion) formulation ensures good mixing, stability, and uniform coverage on the plant surface.

Brinjal	Shoot & Fruit Borer	200-240 ml	Foliar spray

Mix 200-240 ml of Nemagen with sufficient water to cover one acre of brinjal crop. Use a knapsack or power-operated sprayer for even and thorough application. Ensure the spray covers all parts of the plant, especially the shoot tips and developing fruits where the pest is most active.

When to Use

For best results, apply Nemagen during the early stages of pest infestation. Regular monitoring of the brinjal crop is important — look for signs of wilting shoots, bore holes in fruits, or the presence of larvae. Early application when pest pressure is low to moderate gives the best control.

If pest infestation is severe, Nemagen can be re-applied after 10-15 days, depending on the intensity of the pest attack. Apply during calm weather conditions — avoid spraying during strong winds or when rain is expected, as this can reduce the effectiveness of the spray.

Step by Step Usage Instructions

1. Shake well — Shake the Nemagen bottle thoroughly before use to ensure the contents are properly mixed.
2. Prepare the spray mixture — Take the required quantity (200-240 ml per acre) and mix it with water in the spray tank. The amount of water depends on your sprayer capacity — typically 200-500 litres per acre for knapsack sprayers.
3. Stir thoroughly — Stir or agitate the mixture well to ensure even distribution of the product in water.
4. Spray evenly — Use a knapsack or power-operated sprayer. Apply the mixture uniformly over the brinjal crop, making sure to cover all parts — especially shoots, stems, and developing fruits.
5. Timing — Apply during early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are lower and the spray can dry properly on the leaves.
6. Re-application — If needed, repeat the spray after 10-15 days based on pest severity. Do not exceed the recommended dosage.

Precautions & Safety

• Personal protection — Wear protective clothing, gloves, and a mask while handling and spraying Nemagen.

• Do not eat or drink — Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling or spraying the product.
• Environmental safety — Do not apply near water bodies, ponds, or drainage channels. Avoid spray drift to non-target areas.
• Wind conditions — Do not spray during windy conditions to prevent drift to neighbouring crops or areas.
• Storage — Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep away from food items, animal feed, and drinking water. Store out of reach of children and pets.
• Disposal — Do not reuse empty containers for storing food or water. Dispose of containers safely as per local guidelines.
