Introduction
Aver Killer 2% SC contains Emamectin Benzoate — a macrocyclic lactone insecticide derived from Avermectin — in a suspension concentrate formulation. It is highly effective against caterpillars, leaf miners, and thrips that cause severe crop damage across vegetables in Nepal. Even low doses produce rapid and long-lasting control.
How It Works
Emamectin Benzoate binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels in the insect nervous system, causing irreversible opening and leading to paralysis and death. Insects stop feeding within hours of exposure. The active ingredient has translaminar movement — it penetrates into leaf tissue to reach leaf-mining insects and hidden pests.
Key Benefits
- Extremely high potency — effective at very low dose rates
- Translaminar movement reaches hidden pests inside leaf tissue
- Insects stop feeding quickly even before mortality occurs
- Long residual control — up to 14 days field efficacy
- Low risk to beneficial insects when applied correctly
