Barazide - Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC - ADAMA

ADAMA Barazide: Product Overview

ADAMA Barazide is a suspension-concentrate insecticide containing Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% w/w SC for specified caterpillars and borers on label-listed Indian crops.

The formulation combines two insect modes of action. Novaluron belongs to IRAC Group 15 and inhibits chitin biosynthesis during larval development. Emamectin benzoate belongs to IRAC Group 6 and activates glutamate-gated chloride channels, disrupting neuromuscular function. ADAMA describes this as a two-way action that causes paralysis and abortive moulting.

Barazide is not a universal pesticide. The correct formulation dose is either 875 or 1,500 ml/ha depending on the crop, while the official water volume is 500 L/ha for every row below. The pre-harvest interval also varies from 3 to 32 days. Use the current physical pack as the final authority.

Why Choose Barazide?

• Verified dual identity: ADAMA India confirms Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC.
• Two complementary target sites: Group 15 affects larval moulting, while Group 6 disrupts neuromuscular activity.
• Seven current ADAMA crops: brinjal, cabbage, chickpea, chilli, maize, red gram and rice.
• Exact hectare guidance: the customer table preserves formulation dose, water volume and PHI without inventing a per-litre shortcut.
• Five store sizes: this listing keeps the existing 50 ml, 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml and 1 L variants.

Technical Specifications

How Barazide Works

1. Neuromuscular disruption: Emamectin benzoate interferes with nerve-to-muscle signalling, leading to paralysis of exposed larvae.
2. Failed moulting: Novaluron inhibits chitin formation, so susceptible larvae cannot complete normal development to the next instar.
3. Resistance stewardship: Barazide already contains Groups 15 and 6. Do not follow it automatically with another Novaluron, Lufenuron, Emamectin or Abamectin product. When another treatment is necessary, choose a separately applied product from a different effective IRAC group whose own current Indian label covers the same crop and pest.

Registered Crop, Pest, Dose, Water and PHI

PHI = pre-harvest interval. Do not derive a universal ml/L or acres-per-pack claim: both formulation rate and crop canopy must be matched to the exact label row and 500 L/ha water volume.

Application and Safety

• Begin only when the target pest reaches the label or local economic threshold. Use a calibrated knapsack sprayer and hollow-cone nozzle where directed, and maintain agitation for uniform coverage.
• Measure accurately, premix the required quantity in a small amount of clean water, then add the remaining water while stirring. Do not improvise a lower water volume.
• No tank-mix or universal compatibility claim is made. Apply every Related or rotation product separately under its own current label.
• Wear gloves, protective clothing, eye protection and the mask or respiratory protection required by the current pack. Avoid contact with the mouth, eyes and skin and avoid inhaling spray mist.
• Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew during handling. Bathe and wash contaminated clothing after application.
• The PPQS registration record requires strong aquatic and pollinator caution: avoid use in or around aquaculture and avoid application during active bee foraging. Prevent spray, runoff and washings from entering water bodies.
• No specific antidote is stated for this same formulation; treatment is symptomatic. If exposure or symptoms occur, obtain medical attention promptly and show the current product label.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Barazide contain?
It contains Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% w/w in an SC formulation.

What are its IRAC groups?
Novaluron is Group 15 and Emamectin benzoate is Group 6.

Is the dose the same for every crop?
No. Cabbage, chilli, red gram and chickpea use 875 ml/ha, while rice, brinjal and maize use 1,500 ml/ha. Every listed row uses 500 L/ha water.

Can Barazide be used on cotton?
Cotton is not on the current seven-crop ADAMA India page or the verified table used here, so this product page does not recommend it.

Can Barazide be tank-mixed?
No universal tank-mix recommendation is provided. Related and rotation products are standalone alternatives, not mixing partners.
