Paidavaar Blast Bio-Larvicide for Caterpillar and Borer Control

Paidavaar Blast Bio-Larvicide for Caterpillar and Borer Control

Product Description

Paidavaar Blast is a bio-larvicide formulated to control the larval stages of susceptible agricultural insect pests. According to the brand’s product information, it is developed from naturally occurring entomopathogenic microorganisms and botanical extracts.

Blast acts through ingestion and contact. It interferes with larval feeding, growth and development, helping manage caterpillars, borers, leaf folders, armyworms and other listed larval pests. The formulation is positioned for use as part of Integrated Pest Management programs.

Important: The available product information does not identify the exact microorganisms, botanical ingredients, concentrations or formulation type.

Key Features and Benefits

• Biological formulation developed for larval pest management.
• Acts through ingestion and contact.
• Targets susceptible insect larvae rather than plant diseases.
• Helps disrupt normal larval feeding, growth and development.
• May help prevent susceptible larvae from reaching later development stages.
• Suitable for inclusion in Integrated Pest Management programs.
• Targets several caterpillar and borer pests in field and vegetable crops.
• Marketed as biodegradable and having limited effects on non-target organisms.
• Can support reduced dependence on conventional chemical insecticides.
• Apply strictly according to the original product label.

Safety note: Safety for pollinators, beneficial insects, people and animals must not be assumed without following the label. Avoid directly spraying bees, beneficial organisms or flowering crops during active pollinator movement.

Mode of Action

Paidavaar describes Blast as working through both ingestion and contact. After susceptible larvae ingest or come into contact with the formulation, its biological components interfere with their normal feeding and development. This helps suppress larval activity and reduces further crop damage.

Because the exact microbial strains and botanical ingredients are not disclosed in the available information, a more specific biochemical mode of action cannot be stated reliably.

Dosage and Application

• General stated dose: 1–2 ml per litre of water.
• Brand-listed mixing rate: 15 ml in 15 litres of water.
• Apply as a uniform foliar spray using calibrated equipment.
• Cover the crop canopy and pest-affected plant parts properly.
• Apply during the susceptible larval stage according to label directions.
• Use clean water when preparing the spray solution.
• Prepare only the amount of spray solution required for immediate use.
• Do not exceed the label-recommended concentration.
• If the two stated doses conflict for a particular crop, follow the original pack label.

Warning: Do not apply the product to water bodies unless such use is specifically authorised on the original container label.

Safety and Storage Information

• Read the complete product label before application.
• Wear gloves, protective clothing and eye protection while mixing and spraying.
• Avoid inhaling spray mist or allowing the product to contact the skin and eyes.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke during application.
• Keep away from children, animals, food and animal feed.
• Avoid directly spraying pollinators and beneficial insects.
• Do not contaminate drinking-water sources, ponds or streams.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep the container tightly closed in its original packaging.
• Follow label instructions for re-entry, harvesting and container disposal.

Disclaimer: Product effectiveness and crop safety depend on the target pest, application timing, weather and correct dosage. Always follow the original label and local agricultural recommendations.
