Plethora Insecticide
Plethora Insecticide is a powerful combination insecticide formulated with Novaluron 5.25% + Indoxacarb 4.5% w/w SC. It provides strong control against destructive caterpillar pests such as Helicoverpa, Spodoptera, and other lepidopteran larvae that damage crops like cotton, chilli, tomato, cabbage, and pulses.
The product combines two different modes of action: Indoxacarb, a fast-acting sodium channel blocker that stops insect feeding quickly, and Novaluron, a chitin synthesis inhibitor that disrupts insect growth and molting. This dual action not only kills existing larvae but also prevents the development of the next generation of pests. Plethora is widely valued by farmers for its excellent residual control, resistance management, and improved crop protection.

Plethora Insecticide Features and Benefits
Dual Mode of Action
Combines Indoxacarb’s quick knockdown with Novaluron’s growth regulation, delivering both immediate and long-term pest control.
Stops Feeding Quickly
Indoxacarb blocks sodium channels in the insect nervous system, causing pests to stop feeding within hours.
Growth Disruption Technology
Novaluron prevents chitin formation in insects, stopping molting and preventing larvae from developing into adults.
Long Residual Protection
Provides extended protection against multiple generations of pests, reducing the need for repeated spraying.
Resistance Management Tool
Two different chemical groups help reduce the risk of pest resistance development.
Selective to Beneficial Insects
Relatively safer to beneficial insects when used as recommended, supporting integrated pest management (IPM).
