Barazide Insecticide: Active Ingredients and Pest Control

Synergistic Multi-Stage Insecticidal Action

Barazide integrates an insect growth regulator (IGR) with an avermectin chloride channel activator. Novaluron inhibits chitin biosynthesis, preventing successful molting in larvae, while Emamectin Benzoate triggers continuous influx of chloride ions into muscle cells, resulting in rapid flaccid paralysis.

This dual action eliminates larvae through multiple biological pathways and suppresses future generations.

• Target pests: Tobacco caterpillar (Spodoptera litura), gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera), and diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella).
• Multi-stage suppression: Demonstrates ovicidal, larvicidal, and anti-feedant properties, disrupting life cycles at egg and juvenile instars.
• Crops: Recommended on soybean, chickpea, pigeonpea, cotton, and solanaceous vegetables.

Spray Guidelines and Canopy Coverage

Early intervention against newly hatched first or second instar larvae yields the highest efficacy before caterpillars bore into pods or fruit tissues.

Thorough canopy wetting ensures that feeding caterpillars ingest sufficient active ingredient even when hiding beneath lower leaves.

• Thoroughly wet the upper and lower leaf surfaces where egg masses and early instars shelter.
• Use clean water with neutral pH and calibrate spray equipment to avoid uneven deposition.
• Adhere to recommended label dilution guidelines and pre-harvest withholding intervals.
