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)

Maizoate should be applied at the first sign of pest infestation. It can be applied by foliar spray or ground application. The recommended application rate varies depending on the crop and the pest to be controlled.

Maizoate is generally safe for use on crops and non-crop plants, but it is important to follow the label directions carefully to avoid crop injury.
