Barazide - Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC - ADAMA
Barazide Insecticide | Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC
A two-active insecticide for specified caterpillars and borers, combining disruption of larval development
with nerve-and-muscle action.
Pest focus: Specified caterpillars and borers in the crop–pest table
below.
Two actions: Novaluron disrupts chitin formation; emamectin benzoate affects insect
nerve-and-muscle function.
Before treatment: Identify the pest and its stage, then confirm the crop-specific
first application timing and full directions.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🐛 Caterpillar and borer focus: Targets
selected lepidopteran pests that damage leaves, shoots, stems or fruits, according to the crop-specific use.
-
🌱 Disrupts larval development: Novaluron
interferes with formation of the new outer covering needed for normal moulting.
-
🎯 Complementary nerve-and-muscle action: Emamectin benzoate acts through a different pathway from novaluron, affecting normal insect muscle function.
-
🧩 Ready-formulated combination: Both active
ingredients are supplied together in one suspension concentrate, without assembling a mixture of separate products.

| Product type |
Insecticide for specified lepidopteran pests |
| Formulation |
SC: suspension concentrate |
| IRAC groups |
Novaluron: Group 15, inhibitors of chitin biosynthesis affecting CHS1. Emamectin benzoate: Group 6, glutamate-gated chloride
channel allosteric modulators. |
| Chemical families |
Benzoylurea (novaluron) and avermectin (emamectin benzoate) |
How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Affects the next outer covering: Novaluron inhibits chitin biosynthesis. Developing larvae need chitin to form a new outer covering
during moulting.
-
Disrupts muscle function: Emamectin benzoate acts on glutamate-gated chloride channels, interfering with normal nerve-and-muscle
activity.
-
Combines two effects: The formulated mixture brings together growth-disruption and nerve-and-muscle effects against susceptible
target insects.
Two active ingredients do not guarantee control of every insect stage or resistant population. Count both IRAC
Groups 15 and 6 when planning resistance management and separately applied alternatives.

recommendation to aphids, other sucking pests or unlisted crops.
Dosage & Application Guide
Match the treatment to the crop and pest stage
Inspect the crop to identify the pest and its development stage. The listed crop uses have dilution-water
guidance of 500 L/ha, approximately 202.34 L/acre. This is a water quantity for measured area, not a product dose or permission to
treat at any pest stage.
Obtain the crop-specific product quantity, application method, first treatment timing and harvest interval
together before use. Do not select a universal rate for all seven crops or derive a tank recipe from the water
volume.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm the pest: Match the crop and insect to the table. Similar-looking damage can have another cause.
-
Check when to begin: Use the crop-specific label trigger or stage for the first treatment. Do not assume that one crop’s timing
applies to another pest or crop.
-
Prepare as directed: Follow the supplied label for mixing order, equipment and application method, keeping the product quantity
tied to the measured field area.
-
Protect people and water: Use the required protective equipment and prevent drift or contamination of nearby water sources.
-
Monitor after treatment: Record the date and area, respect harvest and worker re-entry restrictions, and reassess the pest before
considering another application.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Barazide for every insect pest?
No. It is intended for the specified caterpillars and borers. Match the particular pest and crop to the
current label.
2. Do the two active ingredients work in the same way?
No. Novaluron affects chitin and moulting, while emamectin benzoate acts through glutamate-gated chloride
channels.
3. Can I use one dose for every listed crop?
No. Confirm the crop-specific product rate, method, first application timing and harvest interval together.
Water volume is not a substitute for these directions.
4. Does a two-active product eliminate resistance concerns?
No. Both Groups 15 and 6 must be considered when planning other treatments; a different brand may contain
the same groups.
5. Can I add another insecticide or repeat automatically?
Use a tank mixture only when both current labels permit the exact products, crop and method. Do not repeat
automatically; follow treatment limits and use field monitoring and qualified crop advice.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the supplied Indian label and leaflet before opening the pack, and use the
product only for its listed crop and target. Wear the specified protective clothing and equipment. Avoid skin and eye contact and
inhalation; do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the product. Wash thoroughly and change contaminated clothing after
