Mode of Action
Understanding the mechanism of HEROXA
Indoxacarb is bioactivated in the insect gut tissue to its decarbomethoxylated form (DCJW), which blocks voltage-dependent sodium channels. Affected larvae stop feeding rapidly and die from starvation and nerve failure within 24–72 hours. This provides effective control of target caterpillar pests.
