Provin – Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG Insecticide

Provin contains Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG, a powerful water-soluble granular insecticide used for controlling a wide range of destructive chewing pests. Known for its strong stomach action, Provin must be ingested by the larvae to achieve maximum control. After ingestion, the larvae become paralyzed, stop feeding quickly, and die within 2–4 days, helping protect crops during critical growth stages. This broad-spectrum formulation is widely recommended for bollworms in cotton, fruit and shoot borers in vegetables, DBM in cabbage, thrips and mites in chilli, and other major pests in tea, grapes, pulses, and horticultural crops.
