Adama Barroz is a dual-action insecticide containing Cartap Hydrochloride 7.5% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.25% GR. This insecticide controls pests like Yellow Stem Borer for Paddy crops through systemic and contact modes of action. It works by blocking essential receptors and disrupting certain chloride channels in the pests, leading to paralysis and death of the pest. The Barroz insecticide offers strong resistance management and prolonged protection, making it highly cost-effective.
Key Features and Benefits of Barroz Insecticide:
Dual Action: Cartap Hydrochloride 7.5% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.25% GR offers systemic and contact modes of action, ensuring strong protection.
Resistance Management: The combinational formula of Adama Barroz insecticide makes it tough for the pest to develop resistance.
Easy to Use: Cartap Hydrochloride 7.5% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.25% GR can be applied directly over flooded fields for easy application.
Long-Lasting: The Adama Barroz insecticide protects crops from pests for a longer period, reducing the need for frequent reapplication.
Safe to Use: Cartap Hydrochloride 7.5% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.25% GR does not harm beneficial organisms, making it safe to use.
Barroz Insecticide Uses — Target Pest and Crop:
Barroz Insecticide Uses are focused on the most yield-damaging borer pest in Paddy cultivation:
Adama Barroz Dose — Recommended Dose:
The Barroz Insecticide Dose Per Litre does not apply as this is a granular product — Adama Barroz is broadcast directly onto the field at 3 kg per acre without mixing in water. Dose is always measured in kg, not ml per litre.
Crop | Target Pest | Dose Per Acre | Application Method | PHI |
Rice / Paddy | Yellow Stem Borer | 3 kg | Broadcast on standing water (3–5 cm depth) at tillering stage | 14 days |
How To Use Adama Barroz Insecticide:
Ensure the paddy field has 3–5 cm of standing water before broadcasting Barroz insecticide — this is essential for uniform granule distribution and root uptake.
Measure 3 kg of Adama Barroz per acre as per the dose table above.
Broadcast the granules uniformly by hand across the entire paddy field — divide the total dose into manageable portions and walk the field systematically for even coverage.
Maintain the standing water level at 3–5 cm for at least 5–7 days after broadcasting cartap hydrochloride 7.5% + emamectin benzoate 0.25% GR to allow the granules to dissolve and the active ingredients to move into the root zone.
Do not drain the field or allow the water level to drop below 2 cm within 5–7 days of Adama Barroz application.
Apply at the active tillering stage — 20–25 days after transplanting — when Yellow Stem Borer egg hatching is most likely, and Dead Heart symptoms begin appearing.
Wear gloves and a face mask during broadcasting — avoid inhaling dust from the granules during handling and application.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after every application session.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Adama Barroz at the active tillering stage — 20–25 days after transplanting or 25–30 days after direct seeding — when Yellow Stem Borer activity is at its seasonal peak. Early application at the tillering stage prevents Dead Heart formation and protects productive tiller count before the borer can cause yield loss.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: One well-timed application of Barroz insecticide at the tillering stage is generally sufficient for season-long Yellow Stem Borer control. A second application may be applied at the panicle initiation stage if high Stem Borer pressure persists. Do not exceed 2 applications per season.
Re-Entry Period: Allow field water to settle after broadcasting Adama Barroz before wading through the paddy field. No strict re-entry restriction given the granular application method and low exposure risk — wash hands after application as standard precaution.
Compatibility: Cartap hydrochloride 7.5% + emamectin benzoate 0.25% GR is a standalone granular product — it is not tank-mixed with other inputs. Apply separately from any foliar spray operations.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Read the instructions carefully before using Adama Barroz.
Wear protective gear — gloves, goggles, and a face mask — to cover your skin and eyes during broadcasting.
Do not ingest anything while using Barroz insecticide — do not eat, drink, or smoke during application.
Keep Adama Barroz out of reach of children and pets at all times.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after every handling and application session.
Adama Barroz insecticide is for agricultural purposes only.
