  • Publication number: 20260174082
    Abstract: Pesticidal compositions and methods of use are provided. An aqueous pesticidal suspension composition comprises indoxacarb, a dispersant, a surfactant, and water, wherein the dispersant and surfactant are present in amounts effective to maintain the indoxacarb as a stable suspension during storage. The composition may optionally include one or more formulation additives such as a thickener, preservative, antifreeze agent, or antifoaming agent. A suspension concentrate comprising higher levels of indoxacarb, dispersant, and surfactant is also provided and may be diluted prior to application. Methods of controlling pests are further disclosed, including applying an effective amount of an indoxacarb-containing composition to turfgrass or ornamental plants to control pests such as black cutworm larvae, tawny mole cricket, and Genista caterpillar. The compositions may be applied directly or as diluted spray solutions at selected application rates to provide effective pest control with acceptable plant safety.
