Camalus - Tetraniliprole 10.81% w/w + Spirotetramat 21.62% w/w SC - Bayer
Camalus Insecticide | Tetraniliprole 10.81% w/w + Spirotetramat 21.62% w/w SC
A two-active insecticide for the specified chewing and sucking pests of okra, cabbage, chilli, brinjal and tomato. Match the pest to its crop before choosing a treatment.
Choose the correct crop and pest: The five vegetable crops have different pest lists. Do not transfer a pest claim from one crop to another.
Confirm the complete directions: Obtain the current Indian Camalus label, including the exact application method, first-treatment conditions, surfactant directions and harvest interval, before preparing a treatment.
Check the selected pack: The store listing offers a 150 ml pack. Pack volume is not an application dose or a promise of coverage.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🎯 Defined chewing and sucking pest uses: Combines activity against different feeding habits in five vegetable crops. Each pest claim remains tied to the crop shown below.
-
🔗 Two active ingredients: Tetraniliprole and spirotetramat act at different biological targets. They are already combined in one product; this is not a recipe for mixing separate insecticides.
-
🍃 Two-way systemic component: Bayer describes movement within plants in both directions to help protect growing tissue. This feature does not replace the correct method, coverage or label directions.
-
🐛 Feeding-cessation activity: The diamide component affects muscle control and helps susceptible pests stop feeding. No fixed number of hours or guaranteed duration is promised.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Muscle control is disrupted: Tetraniliprole acts on ryanodine receptors, which regulate calcium release in insect muscle cells. This disrupts normal muscle activity and feeding in susceptible insects.
-
Fat production is disrupted: Spirotetramat inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase, an enzyme needed to make lipids. Lipids are fats needed for normal pest growth and development.
-
Use the approved treatment method: Systemic activity describes movement within the plant; it does not establish an application route, dilution or timing. Use only the method in the current supplied label.
Account for both IRAC Groups 28 and 23 when planning later treatments. Two active ingredients do not make resistance impossible. A different brand sharing either group may repeat selection pressure. Use crop monitoring, appropriate non-chemical measures and effective label-approved alternatives as part of integrated pest management.
Target Crops & Pests
These crop–pest pairs are supported by the Indian registration summary for the exact formulation. Use only where the current supplied Camalus label includes the intended crop and pest; the summary is not a replacement for its complete directions.
| Crop |
Target pests |
|---|---|
| Okra |
Fruit and shoot borer; aphids; whitefly; mites |
| Cabbage |
Diamondback moth; tobacco caterpillar; aphids |
| Chilli |
Fruit borer; thrips; whitefly; mites |
| Brinjal |
Shoot and fruit borer; whitefly; mites |
| Tomato |
Fruit borer; leaf miner; thrips; whitefly |
Do not add a crop or pest from another tetraniliprole or spirotetramat product. For example, diamondback moth is paired with cabbage and leaf miner with tomato; neither entry is a claim for all five crops.
Dosage & Application Guide
Confirm the full crop-specific directions before measuring
Do not prepare a treatment from this page alone. A complete current Indian Camalus application programme has not been established here. Numerical dose, water, per-litre recipes and harvest intervals are withheld until the crop-specific method, first-treatment conditions and all restrictions are confirmed together.
Camalus Surfactant needs its own directions. Bayer specifically mentions this surfactant. Its exact quantity and use conditions have not been verified here. Do not replace it with an arbitrary spreading agent or use an assumed surfactant dose.
Confirm the crop, pest, product amount, water or carrier, equipment, application method, first-treatment conditions, repeat limits, permitted adjuvant, worker re-entry and harvest interval from the supplied Indian label and leaflet. SC is a formulation code, not permission to use a foliar, soil, seed or irrigation route.
Measure the formulated liquid product with a suitable millilitre measure only after the complete directions are known. Do not substitute grams of pure active ingredient for millilitres of product. Missing quantities do not mean zero dose, no water or immediate harvest; the 150 ml pack is not a dose recommendation.
The pre-harvest interval is the minimum time between the last treatment and harvest. It is crop-specific and is not a repeat-treatment interval or worker re-entry time. No universal tank recipe, rainfastness or fixed repeat interval is supplied.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the crop and pest: Scout the field and match the pest to the exact crop in the guide. Do not assume every insect or mite is a target.
-
Obtain the complete programme: Use the supplied current Indian label and leaflet to confirm the method and when the first treatment is needed, then check the amount, water and restrictions.
-
Confirm the surfactant: Follow the exact Camalus Surfactant directions supplied for the intended use. Do not improvise a product or quantity.
-
Handle safely: Use label-required protective equipment. Prevent exposure of people, food, feed and water; follow equipment and environmental safeguards.
-
Record and plan: Keep crop, pest, date, area, product amount and planned harvest records after confirming the programme. Account for both resistance groups when planning later treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which crops does Camalus cover?
Okra, cabbage, chilli, brinjal and tomato, for the specific pest pairs shown above and included on the supplied label. Do not extend every pest entry to every crop.
2. What dose or tank recipe should I use?
This page does not supply a numerical programme because the complete crop-specific method, first-treatment conditions and surfactant directions are not verified. Obtain the current supplied Indian label and leaflet before measuring product or water.
3. Do all crops have the same harvest interval?
Do not assume so. Read the crop-specific harvest restriction together with the exact treatment programme. A waiting period is not a repeat-treatment or worker re-entry interval.
4. Can I add any spreading agent?
No generic substitution or dose is recommended here. Bayer refers specifically to Camalus Surfactant; confirm its correct product, quantity and use conditions from the supplied directions.
5. Does having two ingredients remove resistance risk?
No. Both IRAC Groups 28 and 23 must be considered. A later product sharing either group may still repeat selection pressure, even when the brand name or second ingredient differs.
