Barazide Insecticide (Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC)
Stop caterpillars and stem borers in their tracks with the dual-power protection of Barazide.
Barazide is a high-performance, broad-spectrum insecticide from Adama India. It is specially designed to fight the most destructive pests in Cotton, Rice, and Vegetable crops. By combining two different active ingredients, it provides a "Hammer and Anvil" effect—hitting pests with a fast knockdown while stopping their future growth.
Perfect for: Cotton Bollworms, Rice Stem Borers, and Diamondback Moths.
Why Choose Barazide? Key Benefits for Farmers
- ⏱️Instant Feeding Stop: Pests stop damaging your crop within hours of contact or ingestion.
- 🛡️Dual Action Power: Uses two different chemicals (Novaluron & Emamectin) to kill pests that are resistant to other sprays.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Results: It doesn't just kill feeding larvae; it also kills unhatched eggs and prevents young pests from growing up.
- 🌧️Superior Rainfastness: The SC (Suspension Concentrate) formula sticks to leaves better and won't wash away easily in the rain.
- 🌿High Crop Safety: Gentle on your plants with no risk of leaf burn (phytotoxicity), even in hot weather.

How It Works: The "Hammer and Anvil" Action
Barazide works through a unique dual mechanism that ensures no pest survives:
- Immediate Paralysis (The Hammer): Emamectin benzoate targets the pest's nervous system. As soon as a caterpillar eats a treated leaf, it becomes paralyzed and stops feeding instantly.
- Growth Disruption (The Anvil): Novaluron acts as an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator). It prevents pests from forming a new skin (chitin synthesis). When they try to grow, they fail and die.
- Deep Protection: Its translaminar action means the spray penetrates the top of the leaf to kill pests hiding on the underside or inside the stem.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: For the best results, always use the recommended "Dose per Acre" mixed with enough water to cover the entire plant.
Recommended Dosage Table
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 200 ml | 200 - 300 L | 1.5 ml | - |

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The number of days to wait between spraying and harvesting your crop.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray at the first sign of pest eggs or small larvae (1-2 per plant). Early intervention is key.
- Mixing: Shake the bottle well. Mix the dose in a small amount of water first, then add to the full spray tank with constant stirring.
- Coverage: Ensure the spray reaches the undersides of leaves and the stems where pests like to hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
