How It Works: Mode of Action
Bajirao uses a unique "Synergistic" mechanism that attacks the insect's nervous system from two angles:
- Paralysis (Indoxacarb): It blocks the sodium channels in the nerves. This paralyzes the pest instantly, stopping it from eating your crop.
- Over-Excitation (Acetamiprid): It mimics nerve signals, causing the pest to twitch and lose energy rapidly.
- Systemic Reach: The medicine travels inside the plant sap, reaching pests hiding under the leaves that contact sprays miss.
Result: A "Double-Lock" effect that ensures even resistant pests are controlled.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 200 ml | 200 Litres | 1 ml | 30 Days |
| Chillies | 200 ml | 200 Litres | 1 ml | 5 Days |
| General | 160 - 200 ml | 150 - 200 Litres | 1 - 1.25 ml | Crop Dependent |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note the short 5-day wait for Chillies.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the first sign of infestation. For cotton, it is excellent during the square to boll formation stage.
- Mixing: Shake the bottle well before use. Do not mix with highly alkaline substances (like Bordeaux mixture).
- Coverage: Use plenty of water (200L/acre) to ensure the spray reaches the underside of leaves where whiteflies hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the price of Bajirao Insecticide?
The price typically ranges between ₹3,700 to ₹4,000 for a 1-liter bottle, depending on the retailer and discounts. Smaller packs are also available.
2. Does it have an antidote?
There is no specific antidote for the mixture. However, Indoxacarb poisoning (rare) can cause Methemoglobinemia, which doctors treat with Methylene Blue.
3. Can I use it on Chilli crops near harvest?
Yes. The Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) for Chillies is only 5 days, making it safe if you wait 5 days before picking.
4. What is the difference between Bajirao and plain Indoxacarb?
Bajirao contains Acetamiprid, which adds "sucking pest control" (Whitefly/Jassids) to the caterpillar control of Indoxacarb. It is a 2-in-1 solution.
5. Is the SC formulation better than EC?
Yes. SC (Suspension Concentrate) is water-based and generally safer for the crop (less risk of burning leaves) compared to solvent-based EC sprays.
