Key Features And Benefits
Here are some of the key features and benefits of Markhor Extra Insecticide that set it apart from other pest control solutions:
1. Dual-Action Formula
Emamectin Benzoate (4%): A potent insecticide that targets pests' nervous systems, effectively paralyzing them and preventing further feeding.
Chlorfluazuron (20%): A growth regulator that disrupts the normal development of pests by preventing the formation of their exoskeleton, leading to their death.
2. Highly Effective Against Pests
-
Markhor Extra provides control over a broad range of insect pests, including:
Cabbage Beet Armyworm (a major threat to cruciferous vegetables)
Diamondback Moth
Fruit Flies
Spodoptera Frugiperda (Fall Armyworm)

3. Proactive Pest Control
The insecticide is designed to disrupt the life cycle of pests at multiple stages, preventing the onset of serious infestations. It helps control pests from the larvae stage, ensuring early intervention for maximum efficacy.
4. Long-Term Crop Protection
The combined action of Emamectin Benzoate and Chlorfluazuron provides long-lasting protection, which significantly reduces the frequency of application needed throughout the growing season. This makes Markhor Extra an efficient and cost-effective solution.
5. Versatile Application

How Markhor Extra Works?
Markhor Extra combines two highly effective modes of action to provide comprehensive pest control:
Emamectin Benzoate (4%): When pests consume the treated plant material, Emamectin Benzoate is absorbed into their system and disrupts their nervous function. This results in paralysis and death, stopping further damage to your crops.
Chlorfluazuron (20%): As a chitin synthesis inhibitor, it targets the pest's growth and molting process. This prevents the insect from forming a new exoskeleton, effectively stunting their development and leading to death after molting.
This two-pronged approach not only controls pests effectively but also prevents them from building resistance, ensuring sustainable pest management over time.
