ADAMA Barroz: Product Overview
ADAMA Barroz is a granular insecticide containing Cartap Hydrochloride 7.5% w/w + Emamectin Benzoate 0.25% w/w GR. Its verified Indian use is the control of yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) in rice.
Barroz combines two insecticide modes of action. Cartap hydrochloride is an IRAC Group 14 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channel blocker. Emamectin benzoate is an IRAC Group 6 glutamate-gated chloride-channel allosteric modulator. ADAMA describes the combination as neuromuscular disruption with stomach and contact action against the target pest.
This is a dry granule for field broadcasting, not a liquid foliar spray. The official major-use record specifies 7.5 kg of formulation per hectare, no spray-water volume and a 35-day pre-harvest interval. ADAMA's Barroz literature gives the corresponding practical recommendation of 3 kg per acre.
