Description
Tata Kakuna: The Caterpillar Terminator
Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC
Double Action. Zero Escape.
Tata Kakuna is a specialized, high-performance insecticide designed to wipe out the most destructive Lepidopteran pests (caterpillars). It combines two distinct modes of action: Novaluron, an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR), and Emamectin Benzoate, a powerful nerve toxin.
This dual-power formula doesn't just kill the visible caterpillars; it stops the entire population cycle. The Emamectin delivers a rapid "paralysis punch," stopping the pest from feeding, while the Novaluron ensures that any eggs or young larvae never mature into adults. It is the ultimate solution for Diamondback Moth (DBM), Pod Borers, and Fruit Borers.
Why Choose Tata Kakuna?
🥊 Synergistic Power:
Combines "Instant Knockdown" (Emamectin) with "Long-Term Prevention" (Novaluron) in a single bottle.
🛑 Lifecycle Breaker:
Ovicidal: Kills the eggs.
Larvicidal: Kills the caterpillars.
IGR Action: Prevents larvae from molting (skin shedding), causing them to die before adulthood.
🛡️ Extended Protection:
Because it kills eggs and prevents molting, the protection lasts longer than standard sprays, often 12 to 15 days.
⚡ Stops Feeding Fast:
Caterpillars stop eating the crop within a few hours of contact/ingestion, preventing further economic loss immediately.
🥬 Green & Safe:
Effective at low dosages and safe for the crop foliage, leaving no phytotoxicity (burning) on tender leaves or flowers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Why use Kakuna instead of just plain Emamectin (Proclaim)?A: Plain Emamectin kills the active caterpillars well, but it leaves the eggs behind. Kakuna adds Novaluron, which kills the eggs and stops young larvae from molting. This gives you much better, longer-lasting control, especially during heavy infestations.
Q2: Is it effective against Fall Armyworm (FAW) in Maize?A: Yes. The combination is very effective against FAW. Emamectin paralyzes the large worms, and Novaluron stops the younger ones from growing.
Q3: Can I use it on vegetables like Cabbage?A: Yes, it is one of the best choices for Cabbage and Cauliflower to control the Diamondback Moth (DBM), which is often resistant to other chemicals.
Q4: Is it safe for the flowers?A: Yes, when used at the recommended dose, it is safe for flowers and does not cause flower drop in Chilli or Tomato.
Q5: What is the waiting period (PHI)?A: For most vegetables, the Pre-Harvest Interval is roughly 5 to 7 days. Stop spraying at least a week before you plan to harvest.
