The Ultimate Organic Solution for Sucking Pests and Stem Borers
Unlock the power of nature with Azamet (also marketed as CoroIndika), a premium 1500 ppm (0.15% w/w) Azadirachtin formulation by Coromandel International Ltd. Unlike crude neem oils that degrade quickly, this standardized formulation delivers consistent, industrial-grade pest control. It is the cornerstone of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), specifically engineered to fight resistance in complex pests like Whiteflies and Bollworms while remaining safe for the environment.
Important Note: This product contains Azadirachtin (Neem). Please do not confuse it with "Azamet Granular" containing Dazomet (a toxic chemical soil fumigant).
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Quadruple Action Power: It attacks pests in four ways: stops feeding, prevents egg-laying, disrupts growth (IGR), and repels adults.
- ?️Export-Quality Safety: With a Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) of just 0–3 days, it is perfect for tea, vegetables, and fruits destined for export. No harmful residues.
- ⏳Breaks Pest Resistance: Ideal for controlling pests that have become immune to synthetic pyrethroids and organophosphates.
- ?️Deep Systemic Action: The liquid formulation penetrates the leaf and moves within the plant (xylem/phloem), reaching hidden pests like Stem Borers.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Azamet does not kill instantly like a nerve poison; it causes the insect to malfunction biologically.
- Anti-Feedant (Starvation): When a pest tastes the treated leaf, its chemoreceptors are blocked. It physically loses the ability to swallow and starves to death.
- Insect Growth Regulator (IGR): The molecule mimics the molting hormone ecdysone. Larvae get stuck in their old skin, fail to molt, and die before becoming adults.
- Oviposition Deterrent: It alters the scent of the plant, making it "invisible" or unattractive to female moths, preventing them from laying eggs.
*Result: The pest life cycle is completely broken within 3–7 days.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop Type | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foliar Spray (General) | 1000 ml | 200 Litres | 5 ml | 3 Days |
| Granular (Paddy) | 5 - 10 Kg | (Soil App) | - | 3 Days |
| Plantations (Tea) | 1000 ml | 200 - 400 L | 3 - 5 ml | 0 - 1 Day |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply preventively or when pests first appear. Best applied during the cooler parts of the day (morning or late evening) to avoid UV degradation.
- Mixing: Ensure water pH is between 6.0 and 6.5. DO NOT MIX with Copper fungicides, Sulfur, or Bordeaux mixture, as these will destroy the active ingredient.
- Coverage: Ensure full coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces, as eggs and larvae often hide on the underside.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
