Description
Adama Doxagan: The Caterpillar Specialist
Indoxacarb 14.5% SC
Stop Caterpillars Cold. Protect Your Yield.
Adama Doxagan is a high-potency, non-systemic insecticide belonging to the oxadiazine class. Powered by Indoxacarb 14.5% SC, it is the ultimate specialist for controlling Lepidopteran pests (caterpillars) that have developed resistance to older chemistries like pyrethroids.
Doxagan works through a unique "bio-activation" process. Once the caterpillar eats the treated foliage, its own enzymes convert the chemical into its lethal form. This leads to immediate paralysis, cessation of feeding, and death, ensuring your crops remain green and undamaged.
Why Choose Adama Doxagan?
🦠 Bio-Activation Technology:
Doxagan is a "pro-insecticide." It becomes fully active only inside the pest's gut. This unique mechanism makes it highly effective against hard-to-kill caterpillars while being safer for the applicator.
⚡ Rapid Feeding Cessation:
While the pest may take a day or two to die, it stops eating your crop within minutes to hours of ingestion. Crop damage stops almost immediately.
🛡️ Rain Fastness:
The SC (Suspension Concentrate) formulation sticks well to the leaf surface and becomes rain-fast within 2–3 hours.
🥚 Ovi-Larvicidal Action:
It kills both the eggs and the larvae (caterpillars), breaking the pest population cycle effectively.
🌱 Green & Healthy:
Safe for most beneficial insects and pollinators, making it an excellent fit for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, especially in cotton and pulses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How is Doxagan different from Emamectin Benzoate?A: Both are excellent caterpillar killers. However, Indoxacarb (Doxagan) is a "Sodium Channel Blocker" and works well even on pests resistant to other groups. It is often rotated with Emamectin to prevent resistance buildup in the field.
Q2: Does it kill sucking pests like Aphids?A: No. Doxagan is a specialist for Chewing Pests (Bollworms/Caterpillars). It has very little effect on sucking pests. If you have both, mix it with a sucking pesticide like Acetamiprid (Manik).
Q3: Is it safe for the crop flowers?A: Yes, Indoxacarb is known for being safe on flowers and tender shoots. It does not cause flower drop or burning when used at the recommended dose.
Q4: Can I use it on vegetables like Cabbage and Cauliflower?A: Yes, it is the standard solution for Diamondback Moth (DBM) in cabbage and cauliflower. It works excellently because DBM often resists other common sprays.
Q5: What is the waiting period (PHI) before harvest?A: For vegetables like Tomato and Cabbage, the waiting period is usually 5 to 7 days. For Cotton and Pulses, it is longer (10–15 days).
