The invention relates to the technical field of vegetable pest prevention, in particular to a compound insecticide containing emamectin benzoate. The compound insecticide comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 30-40 parts of emamectin benzoate, 10-20 parts of a celastrus angulatus root-bark extract, 5-10 parts of a rotenone extract, 10-15 parts of a fructus cnidii extract, 15-20parts of a pyrethrum extract, 5-10 parts of a tobacco extract, 10-20 parts of a neem extract, 1-4 parts of an inert filler, 3- 8 parts of an additive, 20-30 parts of an attractant, and 50-60 parts ofwater. The insecticidal effect of the compound insecticide is enhanced by adding the celastrus angulatus root-bark extract, rotenone extract, fructus cnidii extract, pyrethrum extract, tobacco extract and neem extract to the emamectin benzoate. The compound insecticide also has the characteristics of low toxicity, easy degradation, no residue, and the like. By adding the attractant, the insect attracting function of the compound insecticide can be enhanced, and the insecticidal efficiency is improved accordingly. The compound insecticide has dispelling and killing effects on most plant pests,but does not have any pollution to humans, animals and the surrounding environment.
