Avaunt 150 SL is a broad-spectrum, contact-and-stomach insecticide used to control caterpillars, borers, and leafminers.
It is primarily used on crops like tomatoes, brassicas, and maize. It works fast to stop pest feeding, offering long-lasting crop protection.
Active Ingredient: Indoxacarb 150g/L
Mode of Action:
Avaunt must primarily be ingested, although it can have some contact efficacy. Once the insect eats the treated foliage, the active ingredient converts to a highly active insecticidal form inside the pest, resulting in feeding cessation, impaired nerve function, and eventual death.
Target Pests: Highly effective against lepidopteran larvae, including Tuta absoluta (Tomato leafminer), Diamondback moth in cabbages, African bollworm, and Fall armyworm.
Application:
- Usage: It is meant for commercial and farm plantings, not home gardens.
- Safety & IPM: Because it has a minimal negative impact on many beneficial insects (predatory mites and parasitoid wasps),
- Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Typically requires a short waiting period (often 7 to 14 days, depending on local regulations) between the last spray and crop harvest
Benefits:
Fast Knockdown: It immediately stops target pests from feeding within 0 to 4 hours, preventing further crop damage. The pests will typically die within 24–60 hours.
Wide Pest Control: Highly effective against destructive lepidopteran pests, including the African bollworm, diamondback moth, Tuta absoluta (tomato leaf miner), and Fall Armyworm.
Excellent Residual Protection: Provides long-lasting crop defense and stays active on the plant for 7 to 14 days, reducing the need for frequent re-application.
Resistance Management: Because it features a unique mode of action (IRAC Group 22) that blocks sodium channels in insect nerve cells, it is an ideal rotational tool to prevent pests from building resistance to older chemicals.
Eco-Friendly to Beneficials: It specifically targets the feeding larvae while having minimal to no negative impact on predatory insects, bees, and spiders when applied correctly.
