Product details
Forabaz Insecticide | Chlorantraniliprole 10% + Novaluron 20% SC
A ready-formulated insecticide for the listed caterpillar pests in cabbage, chilli and maize, combining
effects on insect muscle function and moulting.
Crop–pest fit: Keep cabbage diamondback moth, chilli fruit borer and tobacco
caterpillar, and maize fall armyworm as separate crop uses.
Before treatment: Confirm the first-treatment stage, permitted method, amount,
water and harvest restrictions together.
Product identity: This is a two-active insecticide, not a plant growth regulator,
fertilizer or interchangeable chlorantraniliprole mixture.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🐛 Targeted caterpillar-pest control: Provides crop-specific options for the listed pests of cabbage, chilli and maize, rather than treating every pest as a use in every
crop.
-
🛡️ Residual control activity: Offers
persistent activity against susceptible pests under the permitted programme; no fixed protection period, rainfast time or automatic repeat
interval is implied.
-
🧴 Ready-formulated combination: Supplies
both insecticide ingredients in one suspension concentrate, without requiring an improvised mixture of separate products.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Muscle control is disrupted: Chlorantraniliprole acts on insect ryanodine receptors, disturbing calcium release and normal muscle
function in susceptible insects.
-
The next outer covering cannot form normally: Novaluron inhibits chitin biosynthesis. Chitin is a key material in the outer
covering that developing insects need when they moult.
-
Feeding and development are affected: Muscle disruption interferes with normal movement and feeding, while impaired chitin
formation disrupts successful moulting and development.
Novaluron’s insect growth-regulating action does not make Forabaz a plant growth regulator. Count both IRAC
Groups 28 and 15 in resistance planning. A premix does not prevent resistance by itself, and mechanism alone does not establish a
treatment threshold, application method or fixed speed of control.

Each intended crop–pest pair must be permitted on the supplied Forabaz pack. Do not transfer a pest to another
crop or borrow directions from a chlorantraniliprole–novaluron product with different percentages.
Dosage & Application Guide
Match the crop and pest to a complete treatment programme
Before preparing treatment, check the permitted application method, first-treatment stage, product quantity,
water requirement and harvest restriction for the exact crop and pest. Use crop monitoring to identify the problem, but do not turn
monitoring alone into an invented numerical threshold or treatment stage.
SC describes the physical formulation; it does not establish a universal spray, soil, seed or irrigation
method. Do not calculate a pump dose from pack size or the active-ingredient percentages. Missing harvest information does not mean
immediate harvest is safe. Harvest, repeat-treatment and worker re-entry restrictions are separate requirements.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the crop and pest: Distinguish the listed cabbage, chilli and maize pests before selecting treatment; similar damage can
have another cause.
-
Confirm the treatment stage: Use the first crop and pest-stage window on the current pack, together with the complete method and
quantities. Do not assume every larval stage has the same treatment requirement.
-
Prepare and apply by the permitted method: Use the specified equipment, product amount and water. Wear the required protection and
prevent drift, spillage and contamination; do not substitute an unpermitted drone, seed, soil or irrigation use.
-
Check mixtures: Mix with another product only when both current labels expressly permit the proposed combination for the crop and
use. Physical compatibility alone is not permission to mix.
-
Record and reassess: Record the field, crop, pest, product and date. Observe the separate harvest, re-entry and further-treatment
restrictions. Seek crop advice rather than increasing frequency automatically if damage persists.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Forabaz control every listed pest in every crop?
No. The pairs are cabbage–diamondback moth; chilli–fruit borer and tobacco caterpillar; and maize–fall
armyworm. Do not interchange these uses or infer another crop from a general pest-control claim.
2. Is novaluron a plant growth regulator?
No. In Forabaz it is an insecticide ingredient that interferes with chitin formation and moulting. This does
not make the product a fertilizer or plant growth regulator.
3. Can I use a standard dose for all SC insecticides?
No. SC identifies the formulation, not the permitted application route or dose. Product amount must match
the crop, pest, application basis, method and water requirement; tank capacity alone does not establish treated area.
4. When can I harvest, re-enter or repeat treatment?
Follow each crop-specific pack restriction separately. The pre-harvest interval runs from final application
to harvest, not between repeat treatments or before worker re-entry. Missing information is not permission for immediate harvest or
re-entry.
5. Can I mix Forabaz or rotate to another brand?
Mix with another product only when both current labels expressly permit the proposed combination for the
crop and use. Physical compatibility alone is not permission to mix. Both IRAC Groups 28 and 15 must be considered when selecting
effective permitted alternatives; a different brand name alone does not establish a different mode of action.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: read the supplied Indian label and leaflet before opening the pack. Use only a
permitted crop–target combination with its complete method, quantity, timing, harvest and worker re-entry directions. Wear the
specified protective clothing, gloves and eye and respiratory protection. Avoid skin and eye contact and inhaling dust, spray
mist, fog or vapour. Avoid spray drift. Do not mix with bare hands. Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew while handling or applying
the product. Wash thoroughly and change contaminated clothing after work. Keep children, other people and animals away during
handling and application.
Store in the original labelled container, securely closed and away from children, food, feed and drinking
water. Follow the pack’s storage and weather precautions. Prevent spillage. Keep product, drift, runoff and equipment washings
from entering ponds, rivers, wells, drains or other water sources. Follow the pack’s precautions for pollinators, livestock and
other non-target organisms. Never reuse empty pesticide containers; follow the label and approved local disposal
instructions.
If exposure, illness or suspected poisoning occurs, stop work and seek medical help promptly with the
product label. Do not self-administer antidotes. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting
unless directed by a medical professional. This description does not replace the supplied label or professional medical
advice.
