Applaud (Rallis India Limited) is a broad-spectrum insecticide that contains 25% SC of the active ingredient Buprofezin. Buprofezin is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that works by disrupting the chitin formation process in insects. Chitin is a hard exoskeleton that protects insects from the environment and allows them to grow. By disrupting chitin formation, Buprofezin prevents insects from molting and eventually kills them.

Applaud is effective against a wide range of pests, including sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and thrips, as well as chewing pests such as caterpillars and beetles. It is also effective against some mites. Applaud has a contact and stomach action, which means that it kills insects when they come into contact with it or when they ingest it. It also has a residual activity of up to 14 days, which means that it remains active on the plant surface for a period of time after application. This makes it an ideal choice for controlling pests in a wide range of crops, including paddy, cotton, vegetables, and fruits.
