Dagger Plus emamectin benzoate lufenuron

Dagger Plus – The Total Caterpillar Lifecycle Destroyer

Dagger Plus by Sayban International is a specialized insecticide designed to provide long-term relief from stubborn caterpillar infestations. By combining Emamectin Benzoate for rapid paralysis and Lufenuron to inhibit chitin synthesis (the formation of the insect’s outer shell), Dagger Plus creates a “Dead End” for pests. It doesn’t just kill the worms you see today; it ensures that the eggs laid on your crop never hatch and young larvae cannot grow into adults.

Why Dagger Plus is a Must-Have for Cotton & Vegetable Farmers:

• Stops Resistance: The dual-mode of action attacks the insect’s nervous system and its growth process, making it highly effective against pests that have survived other sprays.
• Economic Protection: Because it targets eggs and small larvae, one application of Dagger Plus often lasts longer than standard Emamectin sprays, saving you money on labor and chemical costs.
• Systemic & Translaminar: It penetrates the leaf tissue, protecting the undersides where pests like Diamondback Moths (DBM) and Bollworms often hide.
• Safe for Beneficials: When used at recommended doses, it is relatively safe for predatory mites and ladybugs, keeping your field’s natural balance.

Recommended Dosage & Target Pests

Expert Tip: For maximum control, apply Dagger Plus when you see the first signs of egg-laying or very small larvae. Using it early prevents the “explosion” of a caterpillar population. Technical support provided by PARC.
