Comex (Anu Products Limited) (Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC) is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by Anu Products Limited. It is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation containing 5.25% novaluron and 0.9% emamectin benzoate.

Mode of action: Novaluron is a chitin synthesis inhibitor (CSI) 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. Emamectin benzoate is a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) chloride channel activator insecticide. It works by disrupting the transmission of nerve impulses, leading to paralysis and death.

Dosage and application: The recommended dosage of Comex varies depending on the crop and target pest. For most crops, the recommended dosage is 350-600 ml per hectare. Comex should be applied as a foliar spray using a conventional sprayer.
