Mimic® 2LV Insecticide mimics the action of the natural insect hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone, the physiological inducer of the molting and metamorphosis process in insects. Mimic 2LV is highly active against most lepidopterous larvae while having practically no activity at typical use rates against other orders of insects. Mimic 2LV controls lepidopterous larvae through a novel mode-of-action by the induction of a premature lethal molt, which initiates within hours of ingestion of treated crop surfaces. Contact activity has also been observed in some insects. Actual death of the larvae will take several days to occur, although feeding by the insects generally ceases within 24 hours of ingestion.
