Indofil Rimon

Indofil Rimon – Advanced Insect Growth Regulator for Larval Control

Indofil Rimon is a next-generation Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) that contains Novaluron 10% EC, designed to effectively control larval stages of insect pests. By inhibiting chitin synthesis, it prevents molting and development, causing death before the pest can reproduce—thus breaking the life cycle. Rimon offers long-lasting protection, fast action, and is safe for natural predators, making it ideal for IPM (Integrated Pest Management) systems.

Key Characteristics

• Technical Name: Novaluron 10% EC

• Chemical Group: Benzoylphenyl urea (IGR)

• Mode of Entry: Stomach action

• Mode of Action: Inhibits chitin biosynthesis, a key element in insect exoskeleton formation and molting, disrupting larval development and preventing adult emergence.

How Indofil Rimon Works

After ingestion, Rimon stops the larvae from forming new exoskeletons, causing molting failure and death. Feeding typically ceases within 2–3 hours, and pests die within 2–3 days, offering early knockdown and long-lasting control.

Key Features & Benefits

Rapid Action – Larvae stop feeding quickly and die before maturing
Breaks Pest Life Cycle – Prevents reproduction by halting molting
Resistance Management – Effective against pests resistant to OPs, carbamates, and pyrethroids
Extended Control – Provides residual effect by targeting early larval stages
Crop Quality Improvement – Healthier fruits, uniform growth, and cleaner harvests
Faster Crop Maturity – Speeds up maturity by 8–10 days in cabbage/cauliflower, 10–12 days in cotton
IPM-Friendly – Safe to beneficial insects and parasitoids

Usage Recommendations for Indofil Rimon

Best Practices

• Apply at early larval stages for best results

• Use recommended water volume for even coverage

• Avoid mixing with alkaline substances or Methomyl

• Rotate with different MoA products to manage resistance

• Reapply based on pest monitoring and crop stage

Storage & Safety

• Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area, away from heat and sunlight

• Keep out of reach of children, animals, and food items

• Wear protective gear during handling and spraying

• Wash hands thoroughly after use

• Dispose of empty containers as per local regulations

Final Thoughts on Indofil Rimon

With its unique mode of action, fast knockdown, and residual control, Indofil Rimon is a powerful tool for controlling tough larval pests like Helicoverpa, Spodoptera, and DBM. It’s safe for beneficials, ideal for IPM, and ensures higher yields with better quality produce.
