Technical Content: Emamectin benzoate
Mode of Action:
The active ingredient in Crystal Crop Proclaim Insecticide is emamectin benzoate. Emamectin benzoate is a member of the avermectin family of insecticides. Avermectins work by binding to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the nervous system of insects. GABA is a neurotransmitter that helps to regulate nerve signaling. When avermectins bind to GABA receptors, they block the transmission of nerve signals. This leads to paralysis and death of the insect.
Emamectin benzoate has both contact and stomach action. This means that it can kill insects that come into contact with it on their bodies, or insects that ingest it by feeding on treated foliage. Emamectin benzoate also has translaminar activity, which means that it can move through the leaves of plants to control caterpillars on the underside of the foliage.
