Narval EC

Precision pest control: The Narval EC advantage

For growers of soy, corn, and potatoes, managing pests like the meadow moth or cotton bollworm is a constant challenge that requires rotation of chemical classes. Narval EC offers a distinct advantage as a chitin synthesis inhibitor. Based on novaluron, this insecticide disrupts the molting process of larvae. Unlike traditional neurotoxic agents that kill instantly but often face resistance, Narval EC targets the biological development of the pest, ensuring effective control during the critical phases of larval growth.

Key features and performance

• Novel mechanism: By acting on chitin synthesis, it bypasses the common resistance mechanisms that pests develop against pyrethroids or organophosphates.
• Formulation stability: The emulsifiable concentrate (EC) ensures excellent leaf coverage and adhesion, allowing for robust performance even in varying field conditions.
• Compatibility: It is highly suitable for integrated pest management (IPM) programs, as it poses lower toxicity risks to many beneficial insects compared to broad-spectrum alternatives.

Produced by Klov (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in partnership with Zhejiang Xinan Chemical Industrial Group Co., Ltd., this product is designed for growers who prioritize efficiency and long-term field stability. The product is categorized as having a Class 3 hazard level, emphasizing the need for proper handling protocols during spray operations.

Optimizing field application

Narval EC is best utilized through foliar spraying during active vegetation. Because it acts primarily via contact, the quality of application—ensuring uniform coverage of the crop canopy—is vital to its success. It is highly recommended for farmers who have noticed a drop in efficiency with standard insecticides and need a reliable solution to break the pest population cycle.
