Application Recommendations
- Apply as soon as pests are observed for better results
- Apply during immature pest stages / early stages of insect growth for better control
- Repeat spray every 7-10 days upon continued pest pressure
- Spray followed by a chemical application in case of serious pest outbreak in conventional / non-organic crops
- The spray can be alternated with chemicals / biological if required
- Use the product in overall pest control program to make pests weak and make it more susceptible to insecticides
- Use the product to prevent insecticide resistance
- Thoroughly cover foliage or apply up to run off conditions
- Sprays during morning or evening hours to maximise bio-efficacy
- Use “rain fastener” in case of high rainfall areas
- Avoid storage of spray mixtures. Mix fresh batch for every application
- Compatibility with pesticides / fungicides should be checked before applications
- Use “pH” correctors depending on the spray water quality
- Use required “surfactants” where necessary
- Good mixing is required before application
- Use oil adjuvants to maximise biological activity on select pests
Product Use Benefits
- Support organic crop cultivation
- Help provide IPM / IRM solutions to non-organic crops
- Help prevent or delay resistance in pests
- Enhance pesticidal activity
- Help reduce pesticide use in crops
- Help manage pesticide residues in food crops
Pesticide Synergism
- AzaMax® 1.2% EC exposed insects showed higher mortality when subsequently treated with insecticides
- AzaMax® 1.2% EC predisposes insects to pesticide action thus resulting into higher mortality.
- Increase in mortality due to AzaMax® 1.2% EC exposure has been observed across several insecticides.
- Enhancement of pesticidal action of AzaMax® 1.2% EC would help provide integrated resistance management of pests
