Mode of Action

King Carb contains Indoxacarb, an oxadiazine insecticide that acts primarily on the insect nervous system by interfering with sodium channels. After exposure, affected insects show reduced feeding and movement followed by paralysis and death.

Because the mode of action differs from several other insecticide groups, Indoxacarb can be considered within a properly planned insecticide resistance management (IRM) programme. Farmers should rotate insecticides with different modes of action rather than repeatedly applying the same chemistry.
