How It Works: Mode of Action
Azamax acts in several ways on susceptible insects, rather than relying only on an immediate knockdown effect.
- Feeding is discouraged: Its antifeedant and repellent properties help reduce pest feeding.
- Development is disrupted: Its growth-regulating action interferes with normal insect development.
- Egg laying is discouraged: Its egg-laying deterrent action can help limit further infestation. Use only within the crop directions on the supplied label.
IRAC lists azadirachtin in Group UN, meaning its precise mode of action is unknown or uncertain. Neem-based does not mean harmless or suitable for every crop.

Dosage & Application Guide
These are qualified references for azadirachtin 0.03% EC neem-oil-based formulations, not a complete current Azamax label programme. Confirm the crop-specific brand directions before use.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 1012–2023* | 202* | See note* | 5* |
| Rice | 809* | 405* | See note* | 5* |
Original formulation references: cotton American bollworm and aphids, 2500–5000 ml/ha in 500 L water/ha, waiting period 5 days; rice leaf roller, stem borer and brown planthopper, 2000 ml/ha in 1000 L water/ha, waiting period 5 days. Acre figures are approximate conversions.
*Formulation-reference quantities and waiting periods only. Coromandel separately publishes a general 5 ml per litre dilution without a crop-specific programme. Do not combine that dilution with these area rates or water volumes, especially for rice. Confirm one complete set of current Azamax label directions.
No operational per-litre or tank dose is provided here. Follow the supplied label for the matching crop, target, quantity, water volume, application method, timing, repeats, maximum applications, harvest interval and field-entry precautions.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check the exact strength: Use the directions for Azamax 0.03% EC (300 ppm), not a stronger azadirachtin product or a different formulation.
- Confirm the intended use: Check the crop and pest against the supplied label. Do not assume general chewing-and-sucking-pest claims cover every field problem.
- Follow one complete set of directions: Use the label’s matched product quantity, water volume, mixing method and timing. Do not combine the general dilution with unrelated area rates.
- Plan the next steps: Monitor the crop, follow the label’s harvest and re-entry precautions, and do not assume compatibility with another spray product.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the strength of Coromandel Azamax?It contains azadirachtin 0.03% EC, equivalent to 300 ppm, in a neem-oil-based insecticide formulation.

Can Azamax be used in integrated pest management?The manufacturer positions it for IPM programmes. Use it with appropriate crop monitoring and label-approved practices, without assuming it is harmless to all beneficial insects.
