FAQ
What is a larvicide used for?
A larvicide is used to control insect pests at the larval stage before they develop into adults. In crop protection, larvicidal products help reduce feeding damage caused by larvae and support healthier crop development.
What is Larvicare used for?
Larvicare is used as a foliar crop-protection product for managing Lepidopteran pest stress. It helps reduce feeding pressure and supports crop health through contact, antifeedant, and neurotoxic action against target pests.
What is the difference between a pesticide and a larvicide?
A pesticide is a broad term for products used to control pests such as insects, fungi, weeds, mites, or nematodes. A larvicide is a specific type of pest-control product that targets insects during their larval stage. In simple terms, all larvicides are pesticides, but not all pesticides are larvicides.
How long does larvicide last?
The field activity of any larvicide depends on the formulation, pest pressure, crop stage, weather conditions, and quality of spray coverage. Larvicare itself has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored properly.
What are the commonly used larvicides?
Common larvicides include biological products, insect growth regulators, botanical oil-based formulations, and microbial larvicides. Larvicare is a plant oil-based formulation containing Clove Oil and Castor Oil
How should Larvicare be applied?
Use 250–300 ml per acre as a foliar spray during the vegetative and flowering stages. Add Larvicare to a tank half-filled with water, mix thoroughly, then add the remaining water and spray evenly over the crop canopy.
Can Larvicare be used through a drip system?
Larvicare should be used as a foliar spray. Its intended action depends on canopy coverage and contact with target pests, so drip application is not the preferred method.
Is Larvicare biodegradable?
Larvicare is based on plant oil-type components and is designed for environmentally responsible crop protection. For strict regulatory wording, use: “Use according to label directions and local crop-protection regulations.”
Key Benefits
Plant Oil-Based Pest Stress Support
Larvicare is formulated with clove oil, polyoxyethylene castor oil, and vegetable oil to support crop protection against Lepidopteran pest pressure.
Triple Action Against Target Pests
Larvicare provides contact, antifeedant, and neurotoxic action against target pests, helping reduce feeding activity and crop stress.
Interferes with Pest Neurotransmitters
Larvicare is designed to interfere with neurotransmitters of target pests, supporting effective pest management during sensitive crop stages.
Helps Reduce Resistance Risk
Its multi-action approach helps reduce the chances of resistance development when used as part of an integrated pest management program.
Supports Crop Health and Productivity
Larvicare helps plants manage pest-induced stress and supports healthier growth during vegetative and flowering stages.
Foliar Application for Canopy Coverage
Larvicare is applied as a foliar spray, allowing direct coverage of the crop canopy where pest activity and feeding damage occur.
Safe Use Profile
When used according to label directions, Larvicare is positioned as safe for beneficial organisms and humans.
Dosage & Application
Dosage: Use 250-300 ml/acre; apply as foliar application at vegetative and flowering stage. Add to mixing tank with half of the amount of water you wish to apply. Allow the solution to completely mix then add the remaining water to the tank.
Recommended dosage is for guideline purpose only. More effective application rates may exist depending on specific circumstances.
