Product details
Medad Insecticide by Parijat
Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC for crop-specific caterpillars and borers.
Crop fit: Cabbage, chilli, redgram and rice, each paired with its own caterpillar
or borer targets.
First treatment: Begin when the pest population reaches the economic threshold for
treatment.
Application: Uniform foliar spray using a knapsack sprayer fitted with a
hollow-cone nozzle; maintain agitation and full foliage coverage.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🐛 Defined caterpillar targets: Provides
crop-specific uses against diamondback moth, tobacco caterpillar, gram pod borer and rice stem borer, without treating every pest as
interchangeable.
-
🔄 Developmental action: Novaluron interferes
with chitin production needed for the insect’s outer covering, affecting normal development and moulting.
-
🧠 Nerve and muscle action: Emamectin
benzoate acts through a different biological pathway, disrupting normal nerve and muscle function in susceptible insects.
-
🎯 Two distinct action groups: Combines IRAC
Groups 15 and 6 in one SC formulation, so both ingredients can be accounted for when planning resistance management.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Chitin formation is inhibited: Novaluron inhibits chitin biosynthesis through effects on chitin synthase 1. Chitin helps form the
insect’s outer covering, so interference disrupts normal growth and moulting.
-
Nerve and muscle signalling is affected: Emamectin benzoate activates glutamate-gated chloride channels at a separate regulatory
site. This Group 6 action disturbs nerve and muscle function and can cause paralysis.
-
Contact and feeding expose the pest: Susceptible target insects encounter the treatment through contact or ingestion. The
combination joins developmental and nerve-action processes; uniform coverage still matters.
Two active ingredients do not make a treatment resistance-proof or justify unlimited repeats. Consider both
IRAC Groups 15 and 6 when planning subsequent insect control, and use only crop-approved treatments. Existing feeding damage will not
be repaired by killing the pest.

Keep each crop with its own targets. The cabbage diamondback-moth entry is not a general permission to treat
all caterpillars in every crop.
Dosage & Application Guide
First Treatment, Foliage Coverage & Spray Limits
Begin treatment when the pest population reaches the economic threshold: the point at which pest pressure
justifies control. Check the supplied crop directions and local crop advice when assessing that threshold. Before mixing, keep the
product quantity, spray-water volume, treated area and crop-specific harvest interval together.
Apply a uniform foliage spray with a knapsack sprayer and hollow-cone nozzle. Maintain agitation during
spraying and cover the foliage fully. Do not exceed two sprays in any crop. If a second spray is permitted, do not shorten the stated
10–15-day interval between the first and second sprays; also satisfy the crop’s harvest restriction.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the pack and target: Confirm both active ingredients and the SC formulation. Match the crop and actual pest before
selecting treatment.
-
Use the first-treatment trigger: Scout for pest pressure reaching the economic threshold. Do not treat the repeat interval as the
starting trigger or use a calendar spray in place of crop assessment.
-
Plan quantities and harvest together: Use the current Medad crop directions for product and water quantities and ensure the
last-application-to-harvest interval fits the planned harvest.
-
Choose the stated spray equipment: Use a knapsack sprayer fitted with a hollow-cone nozzle and keep the equipment in good working
condition.
-
Agitate and cover the foliage: Maintain agitation while spraying and distribute the spray evenly over the foliage. Follow the
pack’s preparation and weather directions; do not invent a mixture or additive.
-
Respect the spray ceiling: Never exceed two sprays in a crop. A second spray must meet the stated 10–15-day spacing and all current
crop, harvest and re-entry restrictions.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which pests does Medad target on cabbage?
Diamondback moth, often abbreviated DBM, and tobacco caterpillar. Chilli, redgram and rice have their own
target lists, so the combined list is not interchangeable across crops.
2. When should the first spray begin?
When the pest population reaches the crop-pest economic threshold for treatment. Inspect the crop and use
the supplied directions and qualified local advice to judge this stage; a repeat interval is not the first-treatment trigger.
3. Is Medad interchangeable with Kizomba?
No. Medad contains novaluron with emamectin benzoate. Sharing novaluron with another product does not make
its second active ingredient, crop rate, harvest interval or treatment programme the same.
4. Does dual action mean I can repeat it as often as needed?
No. Do not exceed two sprays in a crop, and observe the stated 10–15-day spacing if a second spray is
permitted. Both Groups 15 and 6 also matter when planning subsequent resistance management.
5. Does a short-harvest-interval claim mean vegetables can be picked straight away?
No. Follow the actual harvest interval for the crop on the supplied label. A general product claim cannot
establish a zero-day interval or replace the crop-specific waiting requirement.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current Medad label and leaflet before mixing or spraying. Follow the
crop-specific quantity, water, harvest, re-entry, storage, disposal and environmental directions, including the maximum of two
sprays per crop.

spray mist, fog or vapour. Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew while handling. Wash thoroughly after application. Keep the product in
its original container away from children, animals, food, feed and fire, and prevent contamination of water.
Seek medical help after exposure or illness and take the pack or label. Do not attempt antidote treatment
yourself. Use only the permitted crop, pest and application route; this description does not replace the registered
label.
