FAQs for Indofil Rimon (Novaluron 10% EC) Insecticide
Q1. What is Indofil Rimon and how does it work?
Ans. Indofil Rimon is an insect growth regulator (IGR) formulation containing Novaluron 10% EC. It works by inhibiting chitin synthesis in insect larvae, disrupting their molting process and causing death during development
Q2. Which pests does Rimon control?
Ans. It's effective against leaf-eating caterpillars such as Spodoptera, Helicoverpa, diamondback moth, fruit borers, and other Lepidoptera species. It also targets pests like whiteflies, thrips, and leafminers in certain crops
Q3. What crops is Rimon used for?
Ans. Suitable for cotton, cabbage, cauliflower, tomato, chili, pigeon pea, chickpea, and various vegetables. Raises can also be used in ornamentals, fruit crops (e.g., apple, stone fruits, peppers), potatoes, strawberries, snap beans & more
Q4. How quickly does Rimon act?
Ans. Larvae cease feeding within 2–3 hours of ingestion and usually die within 2–3 days
Q5. How do I apply Rimon effectively?
Ans. Use as a foliar spray, ensuring thorough coverage (especially underside of leaves). Dosage varies by crop: typical rates are 300–400 ml/ha, with application intervals of 7–14 days, depending on pest pressure
Q6. Is Rimon safe for beneficial insects?
Ans. Yes — it's selective and considered safe for natural predators, making it IPM-compatible. However, avoid use on flowering crops when bees are present, and prevent drift to non-target beneficial species
Q7. Can Rimon help manage resistance?
Ans. Definitely. With a unique mode of action (Group 15 IGR), rotating it with other insecticide groups helps delay resistance development
