Exponus works by targeting the insect’s nervous system. It prevents the transmission of inhibitory signals (signals that tell the insect to stop moving or eating) by interfering with GABA receptors. This leads to an over-excitation of the nervous system, causing the insect to become paralyzed and eventually die.
Exponus is effective against a wide range of pests, including:
- Chewing Pests: Caterpillars, borers, cutworms, etc.
- Sucking Pests: Thrips, aphids, leafhoppers, etc.
- Leaf Miners: Various species of leaf miners.
Exponus is typically applied as a foliar spray, with the spray solution penetrating the leaf tissue and providing protection to both the upper and lower surfaces.
