Barazide is a powerful insecticide that offers a dual-action approach to control a wide range of Lepidopteran pests (caterpillars) in various crops.1 It's developed by Adama, a leading global crop protection company.2
Active Ingredients:
Novaluron 5.25%: An insect growth regulator (IGR) that disrupts the molting process of insects, preventing them from developing into adults.3
Emamectin Benzoate 0.9%:4 A highly effective insecticide that acts on the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death.5
Formulation: Suspension Concentrate (SC)6
Mode of Action:
Barazide combines two distinct modes of action for enhanced efficacy and resistance management:7
Neurotoxic Action: Emamectin Benzoate interferes with the neuromuscular process, leading to paralysis and death of the insect.8
Chitin Synthesis Inhibition: Novaluron disrupts the formation of chitin, a key component of the insect's exoskeleton, causing abortive molting and preventing further development.9
