2. It acts as an antifeedant by which it prevents the pests from feeding on the plant parts and insects get killed by continuous starving.
3. Nimbex has insect growth inhibitory qualities, which disturbs the metabolism of the pest during various phases of its development when absorbed in the body. It interferes with the molting process of the larvae and prevents them turning into pupae. Even if the pupation takes place the adults will emerge as malformed and unfit for reproduction.
4. Nimbex does have ovicidal action. It penetrates the eggshell and kills the embryo thus preventing the egg from hatching.
