Larva Control
A plant-derived insecticide targeting over 300 species of caterpillars and larvae — delivering contact and ingestion kill with zero-hour re-entry interval and no toxicity restrictions for people or livestock.
Larva Control harnesses oxymatrine — a naturally occurring alkaloid extracted from the root of the Sophora plant — to disrupt an insect's development and physiology on contact and ingestion. It functions simultaneously as an insecticide, repellent, and anti-feedant, controlling over 300 larval species while leaving no harmful residue in soil or water. The 0-hour re-entry interval makes it compatible with intensive cropping schedules and IPM programs alike.
- Controls over 300 larval and caterpillar species via contact and ingestion activity.
- Disrupts insect development, physiology, and feeding — acts as insecticide, repellent, and anti-feedant.
- 0-hour REI — no re-entry interval or toxicity restrictions for people or livestock.
- Will not pollute water or soil; leaves no harmful residues on produce.
- Nano-encapsulated active for improved stability and foliar coverage.
- Compatible with IPM programs and organic production protocols.
