ADAMA Barazide: Product Overview
ADAMA Barazide is a suspension-concentrate insecticide containing Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% w/w SC for specified caterpillars and borers on label-listed Indian crops.
The formulation combines two insect modes of action. Novaluron belongs to IRAC Group 15 and inhibits chitin biosynthesis during larval development. Emamectin benzoate belongs to IRAC Group 6 and activates glutamate-gated chloride channels, disrupting neuromuscular function. ADAMA describes this as a two-way action that causes paralysis and abortive moulting.
Barazide is not a universal pesticide. The correct formulation dose is either 875 or 1,500 ml/ha depending on the crop, while the official water volume is 500 L/ha for every row below. The pre-harvest interval also varies from 3 to 32 days. Use the current physical pack as the final authority.
