Proclaim Insecticide
Proclaim Insecticide containing Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG is a highly effective, modern insecticide designed to control destructive lepidopteran caterpillars in high-value crops. Known for its rapid stop-feeding action and long residual control, Proclaim penetrates leaf tissues (translaminar movement) to target hidden larvae feeding on the underside of leaves.
Developed with advanced avermectin chemistry, it disrupts the pest’s nervous system, leading to paralysis and death within a short time. Proclaim is widely trusted by vegetable, cotton, and fruit growers for controlling pests like Fruit Borer, Pod Borer, and Diamondback Moth while maintaining crop quality and yield.

Proclaim Insecticide Features and Benefits
Fast Stop-Feeding Action: Larvae stop feeding within hours of application, reducing crop damage immediately.
Translaminar Activity: Moves from upper leaf surface to lower surface, controlling hidden caterpillars.
Long Residual Control: Provides extended protection against re-infestation.
Low Dose, High Efficacy: Effective at very low application rates compared to conventional insecticides.
Selective to Beneficial Insects: Safer to natural predators when used as recommended.
Resistance Management Tool: Unique mode of action (IRAC Group 6) makes it suitable for rotation in IPM programs.
Usage and Crop Recommendations
| Crop | Target Pests | Dosage/ha (g) | Dilution in Water (L/Ha) | Waiting Period (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Bollworm, American Bollworm | 220 g | 500 L | 15 Days |
| Tomato | Fruit Borer | 200 g | 500 L | 5 Days |
| Cabbage | Diamondback Moth | 200 g | 500 L | 3 Days |
| Chickpea | Pod Borer | 220 g | 500 L | 10 Days |
| Okra | Fruit & Shoot Borer | 200 g | 500 L | 5 Days |
Rain Fastness: Approximately 2 hours after spray.
Method of Application: Foliar spray. Apply at early larval stage for best results. Ensure uniform coverage on foliage.
Mode of Action
Emamectin Benzoate binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels in insect nerve cells. This increases chloride ion flow, causing paralysis and eventual death of larvae. It acts primarily through ingestion but also has contact activity.
Safety and Handling
• Wear protective gloves, mask, and protective clothing during spraying.
• Avoid spraying during strong winds.
• Keep away from children and livestock.
• Follow all label instructions strictly.
