Senora (Anu Products Limited) (Novaluron 5.25%+ Indoxacrb 4.5% SC) is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by Anu Products Limited. It is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation containing 5.25% novaluron and 4.5% indoxacarb.

Mode of action: Novaluron is a chitin synthesis inhibitor insecticide. It works by blocking the production of chitin, a major component of the insect exoskeleton. This prevents the insect from molting and developing into the next stage, leading to death. Indoxacarb is a ryanodine receptor activator insecticide. It works by overstimulating the ryanodine receptor, which leads to uncontrolled muscle contractions and paralysis.

Dosage and application: The recommended dosage of Senora varies depending on the crop and target pest. For most crops, the recommended dosage is 330-350 ml per hectare. Senora should be applied as a foliar spray using a conventional sprayer.
