Quba (Anu Products Limited) (Indoxacarb 14.5%+ Acetamiprid 7.7% SC) is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by Anu Products Limited. It is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation containing 14.5% indoxacarb and 7.7% acetamiprid.
Mode of action: Indoxacarb is a ryanodine receptor activator insecticide. It works by overstimulating the ryanodine receptor, which leads to uncontrolled muscle contractions and paralysis. Acetamiprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide that acts by interfering with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in insects. This blocks the transmission of nerve impulses, leading to paralysis and death.
Dosage and application: The recommended dosage of Quba varies depending on the crop and target pest. For most crops, the recommended dosage is 160-200 ml per hectare. Quba should be applied as a foliar spray using a conventional sprayer.
