Key benefits

Why growers trust TURBO for dependable caterpillar and borer management.

Two complementary modes of action

Novaluron disrupts chitin synthesis (IRAC Group 15) while Indoxacarb blocks sodium channels (IRAC Group 22A), hitting caterpillars through different biochemical pathways for stronger, resistance-smart control.

Broad lepidopteran spectrum

TURBO manages bollworms, Helicoverpa, Spodoptera, fruit borers, pod borers, stem borers, and leaf-eating caterpillars when sprayed at early infestation with good canopy coverage.

Extended residual protection

The suspension concentrate adheres well to foliage and delivers lasting protection, reducing the frequency of sprays during peak borer pressure.

Crop-safe when label-directed

Used at the recommended 20 ml per pump dose and correct crop stage, TURBO supports clean foliage and marketable produce on labeled crops.

Practical field dose

A simple 20 ml per pump recommendation keeps mixing fast and accurate for knapsack sprayers in everyday farm operations.

IPM-friendly rotation partner

Distinct chemistry from pyrethroids and organophosphates makes TURBO a valuable rotation option in integrated pest management programs.

What is Novaluron 5.25% + Indoxacarb 4.5% w/w SC?

Novaluron 5.25% + Indoxacarb 4.5% w/w SC (TURBO) is a dual-action suspension concentrate insecticide combining an insect growth regulator with an oxadiazine for powerful control of lepidopteran larvae including bollworms, fruit borers, pod borers, and leaf-eating caterpillars in cotton, chilli, tomato, and vegetables. Recommended dose: 20 ml per pump.

How does TURBO work?

Dual mode of action — Novaluron (IGR) plus Indoxacarb (oxadiazine) for comprehensive caterpillar control.

  1. Spray deposit on foliage

    On application, TURBO forms an even SC film on leaf surfaces. Caterpillars ingest or contact the active deposit while feeding on treated foliage.

  2. Indoxacarb — rapid feeding cessation

    Indoxacarb is activated inside the caterpillar gut and blocks sodium channels in nerve cells, causing paralysis and quick cessation of feeding.

  3. Novaluron — moult disruption

    Novaluron inhibits chitin synthesis, preventing larvae from completing moulting. Affected instars cannot develop to the next stage and die.

  4. Dual-action residual protection

    The combination delivers immediate knockdown plus extended control of newly hatched larvae, protecting crop yield and foliage quality between sprays.

Target pests

TURBO delivers strong control against major lepidopteran pests when applied at early larval stages.

Bollworms

Controls American, pink, and spotted bollworm larvae that damage cotton squares and bolls, protecting lint yield and quality.

Fruit Borers

Effective against shoot and fruit borers in tomato, brinjal, and chilli that bore into tender fruits and reduce market grade.

Pod Borers

Manages pod borers in pulses and soybean that attack developing pods and cause shriveled, unmarketable grains.

Stem Borers

Suppresses stem-boring larvae that tunnel into stalks and weaken plant vigour in cotton, maize, and vegetable crops.

Leaf Eating Caterpillars

Knocks down defoliating caterpillars including armyworms and loopers that strip foliage and reduce photosynthetic area.

Tobacco Caterpillar / Spodoptera

Provides strong activity against Spodoptera litura and related species that cause heavy defoliation in chilli and vegetables.

Helicoverpa

Targets Helicoverpa armigera larvae — a major bollworm and fruit borer species across cotton, pulses, and solanaceous crops.
