Brand

Nichino India

Active ingredients

Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9%

Formulation

SC (suspension concentrate)

IRAC groups

Group 15 + Group 6

Group 15 action

Inhibition of chitin biosynthesis affecting CHS1

Group 6 action

Glutamate-gated chloride-channel allosteric modulation

Novaluron disrupts chitin biosynthesis, affecting successful development and moulting in susceptible insects. Emamectin benzoate acts at glutamate-gated chloride channels in the insect nervous system. The combination therefore brings two classified modes of action to the label-listed lepidopteran target.

A two-active product is not a guarantee against every resistant population. Follow the label's application limits and resistance-management directions. Do not expose successive pest generations repeatedly to the same mode-of-action groups without an effective stewardship plan.

These rates are transcribed from the current Nichino India Bushido page. Confirm that they match the physical pack before measuring or applying product.

Nichino's online table supplies formulation dose per acre but does not provide a universal water volume, per-litre concentration or PHI. Use the current physical label for the required water volume, equipment, timing, number of applications, re-entry interval and crop-specific pre-harvest interval.

• Confirm the crop and target pest before selecting Bushido.
• Measure the crop-specific acre rate with calibrated equipment.
• Do not extrapolate the rice rate to chilli, red gram or cabbage.
• Do not use recommendation cards as tank-mix, layering or simultaneous-use instructions.

Always read and follow the current physical Bushido label and leaflet. The pack is the final authority for crop, pest, dose, water volume, timing, restrictions, PHI, PPE, first aid and storage. This page is a product-identification and buying guide and does not replace the label, qualified agronomic advice or medical advice.
