Crop | Target Pest | Dose Per Acre | Per 15L Pump | PHI |
|---|
Cabbage | Diamondback Moth, Tobacco Caterpillar | 350 ml | 26 ml | 3 days |
Chilli | Fruit Borer, Tobacco Caterpillar | 350 ml | 26 ml | 3 days |
Red Gram (Tur) | Pod Borer | 350 ml | 26 ml | 3 days |

How To Use Adama Barazide Insecticide:
Measure the required dose of Adama Barazide insecticide as per the crop-wise dose table above.
Add the measured quantity to a sprayer tank half-filled with clean water and mix well before topping up.
Fill with the remaining clean water and agitate thoroughly to form a uniform suspension before spraying.
Use a hollow cone nozzle for thorough coverage — ensure spray reaches the inner surface of leaves and the growing point where Lepidopteran larvae concentrate.
Apply at the Economic Threshold Level — begin spraying when 1–2 larvae per plant are observed to prevent population build-up.
For Rice Stem Borer, apply early at the active tillering stage when the first Dead Heart symptoms appear.
Spray during early morning or late evening — avoid spraying during peak bee foraging hours as Emamectin Benzoate has toxicity to bees.
Rinse all sprayer equipment thoroughly with clean water after every use.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Barazide insecticide in the early morning or late evening. For Cabbage DBM, apply at the first sign of larval feeding on young leaves. For Chilli Fruit Borer, apply from the flowering stage when egg hatching begins. Early application at the 1–2 larval stage gives the fastest and most complete pest control from a single spray.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply at the Economic Threshold Level (1–2 larvae per plant). Adama Barazide insecticide provides 10–14 days of residual control — repeat as needed, up to 2–3 times per season. Always rotate with insecticides from different IRAC groups after 2 consecutive applications.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: Barazide insecticide is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. Always perform a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar products. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Wear gloves, goggles, and a face mask before handling or spraying Adama Barazide insecticide.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or application.
Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes — rinse immediately with clean water for 15 minutes if contact occurs.

No specific antidote is known — treat symptomatically and seek medical attention if poisoning is suspected.
Keep children, pets, and livestock away from treated fields for at least 24 hours.
Wash all exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after every spray session.
