General Information

Sazeda is a broad-spectrum insecticide formulated with a combination of two active ingredients: buprofenzin (15%) and acephate (35%). Buprofenzin is a benzimidazole insecticide that acts as a mitosis inhibitor, disrupting cell division and causing pest death. Acephate is an organophosphate insecticide that works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme essential for nerve function in insects. The synergistic combination of these two active ingredients provides comprehensive control against a wide range of biting and sucking insects, including beetles, caterpillars, flies, thrips, aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers.

Mode of Action

Buprofenzin works by interfering with the formation of microtubules, which are essential for cell division. This disruption prevents the proper separation of chromosomes during mitosis, leading to abnormal cell growth and eventually death of the insect.

Acephate, on the other hand, disrupts the normal transmission of nerve impulses by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme responsible for breaking down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. This inhibition leads to an accumulation of acetylcholine at nerve junctions, resulting in overstimulation, paralysis, and death of the insect.

Application Timing and Method

Sazeda can be applied as a foliar spray or soil drench. For foliar spraying, apply the insecticide to ensure thorough coverage of the plant foliage. For soil drenching, apply the insecticide around the base of the plant and allow it to soak into the root zone.

The recommended application rate of Sazeda varies depending on the target pest, crop, and application method. It is important to carefully read and follow all label instructions to ensure effective pest control and minimize potential risks to human health and the environment.

Precautions and Safety

Sazeda is a moderately toxic pesticide. It is important to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a long-sleeved shirt and pants, when handling and applying the insecticide. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling Sazeda.

Environmental Considerations

Buprofenzin and acephate are moderately toxic to aquatic organisms. Do not apply Sazeda near water bodies or where runoff may occur. Dispose of empty containers and unused product according to local regulations.

Conclusion

Sazeda is a versatile and effective insecticide that can be used to control a wide range of pests in various crops and settings. Its combination of two active ingredients provides broad-spectrum control and long-lasting residual protection against pests. When used responsibly and with proper safety precautions, Sazeda can be an effective tool for pest management.

Additional Guidelines for Applying Sazeda

  • Foliar spraying: Apply Sazeda as a foliar spray when pests are first seen or when damage is observed. Repeat applications as needed, but allow at least 7 days between applications.

  • Soil drenching: Apply Sazeda as a soil drench around the base of the plant and allow it to soak into the root zone. This method is particularly effective against pests that attack the roots or lower stems.

  • Integration with Pest Management Plans: Sazeda can be effectively integrated with other pest management strategies, such as biological control and cultural practices, to achieve long-term pest control.

  • Monitoring and Retreatment: Monitor crops regularly for signs of pest activity. If necessary, reapplication of Sazeda may be required to maintain effective pest control.

By following these guidelines and consulting with local experts, you can effectively utilize Sazeda to control pests and protect your crops from damage.
