Roxy 10%EC: The Smart Solution for Larval Control

Roxy 10%EC is a specialized Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) designed to break the lifecycle of destructive caterpillar pests with precision. Unlike traditional contact insecticides that target the nervous system, Roxy is engineered with Novaluron (100 g/L), a potent compound that attacks the pest’s ability to grow.

Operating as a Chitin Synthesis Inhibitor, Roxy works by ingestion. Once larvae feed on the treated foliage, the active ingredient prevents them from forming new skin (cuticle). This causes the larvae to fail their molting process, leading to their death. This unique mode of action makes Roxy 10%EC an exceptional tool for controlling the Cotton Leaf Worm (Spodoptera littoralis), particularly in populations that have developed resistance to conventional pesticides.

Roxy 10%EC is ideal for high-value vegetable crops like Tomatoes. It offers long-lasting residual activity while remaining gentle on the crop. With a short Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) of just 3 days, it ensures growers can protect their harvest quality right up to the end of the season without residue concerns.
