INDOKING 300 SC Insecticide

Control destructive lepidopteran pests with INDOKING 300 SC, a broad-spectrum insecticide from Greenlife Crop Protection Africa Ltd. Formulated with indoxacarb (300g/L) as a suspension concentrate (SC), it acts through contact and stomach ingestion, offering rapid feeding cessation and residual control for 14–21 days. Distributed by Organic Farm in Kenya, INDOKING 300 SC is ideal for farmers in regions like Machakos, Nakuru, and Kirinyaga, protecting crops like maize, vegetables, and ornamentals from pests such as fall armyworms, diamondback moth, and Tuta absoluta.

Benefits of INDOKING 300 SC

• Broad-Spectrum Control: Targets lepidopteran larvae (e.g., fall armyworms, diamondback moth, Tuta absoluta), thrips, and leaf miners, reducing crop damage across diverse crops.

• Rapid Feeding Cessation: Inhibits sodium ion flow in nerve cells, stopping pest feeding within minutes, with paralysis and death within 2–4 days, minimizing crop loss.

• Residual Protection: Provides 14–21 days of control, reducing application frequency and ensuring sustained crop protection.

• Crop Safety: High-quality formulation stable under UV light, high temperatures, and rain (rainfast within 2 hours), with no phytotoxicity when used as directed.

• Resistance Management: Unique mode of action (IRAC Group 22A) controls pyrethroid-resistant pests, making it a valuable rotational tool in Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

Suitable Crops for INDOKING 300 SC

INDOKING 300 SC is effective for crops previously discussed and others, including:

• Cereals: Maize (e.g., SC Sungura 301, H629 Highland – fall armyworms, stalk borers), baby corn.

• Vegetables: Tomatoes (e.g., Tuta absoluta, caterpillars), cabbages, broccoli (diamondback moth), French beans, capsicum (bean pod borer, thrips), onions (e.g., Red Creole, Russet F1 – thrips).

• Fruits: Mangoes, avocados (false codling moth).

• Ornamentals: Roses (caterpillars, thrips).

• Other Crops: Not recommended for beans (e.g., Yellow Beans KAT B1, Kazuri, Nyota, RoseCoco) based on available data, as primary pests (e.g., aphids) are better controlled by Duduthrin 1.75 EC.

Target Pests

INDOKING 300 SC controls:

• Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) – maize.

• Diamondback Moth (Plutella xylostella) – cabbages, broccoli.

• Tuta absoluta (tomato leaf miner) – tomatoes.

• Bean Pod Borer (Maruca vitrata) – French beans.

• Bollworms (Helicoverpa spp.) – tomatoes, capsicum.

• Cabbage Looper (Trichoplusia ni) – cabbages.

• False Codling Moth (Thaumatotibia leucotreta) – avocados, mangoes.

• Leaf Miners (Liriomyza spp.) – tomatoes, French beans.

• Stalk Borers (Busseola fusca) – maize.

• Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis, Thrips tabaci) – onions, capsicum.

• Sawflies – various crops.

Application Guidelines

INDOKING 300 SC is applied as a foliar spray at the first signs of pest infestation, with a maximum of 2–3 applications per season, repeated every 7–14 days.

Foliar Spray

1. Mixing:

   • Rate: 2.5ml per 20L water (125ml/ha in 1000L water).

   • Example: For maize (SC Sungura 301, 0.25–0.5 acre), use ~2.5ml in 20L water per application.

   • Fill the spray tank with half the required water, add INDOKING 300 SC, then fill to the desired level, agitating to ensure thorough mixing.

2. Application:

   • Spray evenly on foliage, targeting upper and lower leaf surfaces for contact and ingestion activity, using a knapsack sprayer (1000L/ha for most crops).

   • Apply early morning or late afternoon to avoid leaf burn and ensure rainfastness within 2 hours.

   • Timing:

     • Maize (SC Sungura 301): Apply at 4–6 weeks post-emergence for fall armyworms/stalk borers; repeat after 7–14 days (max 3 applications).

     • Onions (Red Creole, Russet F1): Apply 3–4 weeks post-transplanting for thrips; repeat as needed.

     • Cabbages, Broccoli, French Beans, Tomatoes: Apply at first pest sighting (e.g., diamondback moth on cabbages at 3–4 weeks; Tuta absoluta on tomatoes at vegetative stage).

     • Spinach (Indian Palak): Not a primary target crop; use ESCORT 1.9% EC (8ml/20L) for caterpillars instead, as it’s more suitable.

3. Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI):

   • Broccoli, cabbages, tomatoes, French beans: 3 days.

   • Maize, baby corn, mangoes, avocados: 7 days.

Application for Previously Discussed Crops

• Maize (SC Sungura 301): 2.5ml/20L water at 4–6 weeks for fall armyworms/stalk borers; repeat after 7–14 days (max 3 applications).

• Onions (Red Creole, Russet F1): 2.5ml/20L water at 3–4 weeks post-transplanting for thrips; repeat as needed.

• Spinach (Indian Palak): Not recommended; use ESCORT 1.9% EC (8ml/20L) for caterpillars or Duduthrin 1.75 EC (65ml/20L) for aphids.

• Beans (Yellow Beans KAT B1, Kazuri, Nyota, RoseCoco): Not recommended; use Duduthrin 1.75 EC (65ml/20L) for aphids/sucking pests or ESCORT 1.9% EC (8ml/20L) for caterpillars.

Compatibility

• Compatible with BIOFIX, Easy Gro Starter, MycoApply Endo Prime EA, Vuna Fertilizer, and Amistar for integrated pest and disease management.

• Partially compatible with ESCORT 1.9% EC (emamectin benzoate), ALONZE 50 EC (abamectin), or Duduthrin 1.75 EC (lambda-cyhalothrin); test mixtures to avoid antagonism.

• Incompatible with systemic fungicides like Triadimefon or Benomyl; allow a 2-week interval before/after use.

Soil and Climate Compatibility

• Soil Type: Effective in well-drained loamy or sandy loam soils; pH 6.0–7.0. Avoid waterlogged soils for foliar sprays.

• Climate: Suitable for temperatures of 15–33°C and rainfall of 250–2,000mm, covering semi-arid to highland zones (0–2,500m).

• Regions: Machakos, Makueni, Nakuru, Kisumu, Kirinyaga, Nyeri, and other agricultural areas in Kenya.

Expected Impact

• Yield Increase: Up to 15–20% yield improvement by reducing pest damage (e.g., SC Sungura 301 Maize: 25–30 bags/acre to 30–36 bags/acre; Russet F1 onions: 18–30 tonnes/acre to 21–36 tonnes/acre).

• Income: Enhances profitability (e.g., KSh 360,000–1,200,000 to KSh 420,000–1,440,000 per acre for onions at KSh 20–40/kg).

• Crop Quality: Improves marketability by preventing pest-induced defects, especially for export crops like French beans and tomatoes.

• Resistance Management: Limit to 2–3 applications per season and rotate with insecticides like ESCORT 1.9% EC (for caterpillars), ALONZE 50 EC (for leaf miners, thrips), or Duduthrin 1.75 EC (for aphids) to prevent resistance, as some pests (e.g., oriental tobacco budworm) may develop resistance.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from food, children, and animals.

Complementary Practices

For a holistic approach with previously discussed crops:

• Pre-Planting: Use BIOFIX (20–30g per 2kg seeds) for beans and MycoApply Endo Prime EA (4g/acre) for onions/tomatoes to enhance nutrient uptake.

• Growth Stage: Apply Easy Gro Starter (30–40g/20L) for seedlings and Vuna Fertilizer (150–250kg/acre) for balanced nutrition.

• Disease Control: Use Amistar (10ml/20L) for fungal diseases (e.g., downy mildew on onions).

• Post-Harvest: Apply Actellic Super (50g/90kg grain) for stored maize to prevent weevil damage.
