Maizoate is an insecticide containing 5% emamectin benzoate as the active ingredient. It is a soluble granule (SG) formulation that is recommended for the control of a wide range of lepidopteran pests in maize, vegetables, and cotton.

Emamectin benzoate is a semi-synthetic avermectin insecticide that acts as a stomach poison and contact poison. It disrupts the GABA receptors in the nervous system of insects, which leads to paralysis and death. Maizoate is a fast-acting insecticide that provides long-lasting protection against lepidopteran pests.

Maizoate is effective against the following pests:

• Maize: Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea), fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis), southwestern corn borer (Diatraea grandiosella)
• Vegetables: Cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni), diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), imported cabbageworm (Pieris rapae), tomato hornworm (Manduca quinquemaculata)
• Cotton: Bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), American bollworm (Helicoverpa zea), pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella), tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens)
