Key benefits of Buldozer
What makes Emamectin Benzoate 1.9% EC the preferred choice for serious pest management.
Potent EC Formulation
Emulsifiable concentrate base ensures deep penetration into leaf tissues and reaches hidden pests with ease.
Rapid Pest Knockdown
Stops caterpillar and leaf miner feeding within hours of application, limiting crop damage immediately.
Translaminar Action
Active ingredient moves through leaf tissue to control pests on both sides of the leaf, including those feeding inside tunnels.
Broad Crop Compatibility
Registered and proven safe across cotton, vegetables, fruit crops, and paddy when used at recommended doses.
Rainfast Performance
Adheres strongly to plant surfaces, maintaining efficacy even after light rainfall or morning dew.
Resistance Management
Unique chloride-channel-activating mode of action helps rotate against other chemical classes for better resistance management.
Target pests
Buldozer delivers strong, lasting control over the most destructive insects that attack Indian crops.
Helicoverpa armigera (Bollworm)
Highly effective against the notorious American bollworm that damages cotton bolls, chilli fruit, and tomato.
Spodoptera litura (Armyworm)
Controls the polyphagous armyworm that strips leaves in soybean, groundnut, and vegetables.
Diamondback Moth (DBM)
Outstanding performance against resistant DBM populations in cabbage, cauliflower, and other cruciferous crops.
Leaf Miners
Translaminar movement targets leaf miners that bore inside leaf tissue, which contact sprays often miss entirely.
Fruit & Shoot Borers
Controls brinjal fruit and shoot borers, protecting yield quality in a key vegetable crop.
Thrips
Suppresses thrips populations in chilli and onion, where the pest can cause serious crop losses.
Crops & applications
Emamectin Benzoate 1.9% EC is trusted across a wide range of crops throughout the growing season.
Cotton
Controls bollworm complex including Helicoverpa and Spodoptera. Apply at boll development stage for best results.
Vegetables (Cabbage, Cauliflower)
Outstanding control of Diamondback Moth and other leaf-eating caterpillars in cruciferous vegetables.
Brinjal & Okra
Manages fruit and shoot borers effectively, ensuring high market-quality produce with reduced tunnelling damage.
Chilli & Tomato
Controls fruit borers and thrips in chilli; highly effective on fruitworms in tomato at standard EC dose.
Soybean & Groundnut
Manages armyworm and semi-looper populations that cause rapid defoliation in legume crops during kharif season.
Paddy
Controls leaf folders and stem borers at recommended dose, protecting tillers and panicles across growth stages.

Mode of action
Buldozer targets a unique nerve receptor in insects — the science behind its reliable, rapid knockdown.
Contact & Ingestion
The pest either touches the treated leaf surface or ingests treated plant material. Both pathways lead to active ingredient absorption.
Chloride Channel Activation
Once inside the insect, Emamectin Benzoate activates glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in the nervous system — a unique target site not shared by most chemical classes.
Irreversible Paralysis
The continuous, uncontrolled flow of chloride ions causes complete and irreversible paralysis of muscles, disrupting all movement and feeding.
Feeding Stops & Death Follows
The pest stops feeding within 1-4 hours of exposure. Unable to move, eat, or recover, it dies within 24-72 hours. Crop damage halts almost immediately.
Usage & safety guidelines
Follow these practices for optimal results and to protect people, beneficial insects, and the environment.
Correct dose & coverage PPE and stewardship
Usage best practices
Apply correctly and at the right time for the best results in the field.
Personal Protective Equipment
Always wear full-sleeve clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and a mask during mixing and spraying. Remove and wash PPE after work.
Pre-mixing Technique
Add the required dose of Buldozer to a small volume of water first, mix well, then pour into the main spray tank and fill to level. This prevents concentration spots.
Optimal Spray Timing
Spray in the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are lower and wind is calm. Avoid spraying during rain or when rain is forecast within 2 hours.
Safety & stewardship
Protect workers, beneficial insects, and the surrounding environment.
Safe Storage
Store in original sealed container in a cool, dry, locked place away from food, feed, and drinking water. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Equipment Cleaning
Rinse sprayer, mixing vessels, and PPE thorohgly with clean water three times after application. Handle rinse water carefully to avoid contamination.
Environmental Responsibility
Avoid spraying near water bodies, fish ponds, or beehives. Do not allow spray drift to non-target crops or areas. Dispose of empty containers as per local regulations.
Results & performance
What you can expect in the field when Buldozer is applied at the right time and dose.

Frequently asked questions
Everything farmers and dealers commonly ask about Buldozer Emamectin Benzoate 1.9% EC.
Buldozer (Emamectin Benzoate 1.9% EC) is a powerful EC insecticide used to control caterpillars, leaf miners, borers, and thrips in cotton, vegetables, chilli, brinjal, paddy, soybean, and multiple other crops.
The standard recommended dose for Buldozer is 10 ml per 15-litre knapsack pump. Refer to the product label and local agronomist advice for specific crop adjustments.
Buldozer is available in four pack sizes: 100 ml (₹118 with GST), 250 ml (₹277 with GST), 500 ml (₹543 with GST), and 1 Ltr (₹1,062 with GST). Contact your nearest Harishree Crop Science dealer for exact pricing and availability.
The 1.9% EC formulation is an emulsifiable concentrate — it mixes easily in water, penetrates leaf surfaces fast, and is well-suited for use in areas with harder water. The 5% SG (soluble granules) formulation is water-soluble and preferred for better handling ease. Both share the same mode of action but differ in active ingredient concentration and formulation base.
When Buldozer spray deposits have dried on the leaf surface, it poses minimal contact risk to most beneficial insects. To protect pollinators like honeybees, spray during early morning or late evening when bees are less active, and avoid spraying open flowers.
Emamectin Benzoate features translaminar movement — after spray application, it migrates through the leaf tissue and creates a zone of activity inside the leaf. Leaf miners that tunnel and feed inside the leaf encounter the active ingredient and are paralysed. This is a key advantage over purely contact insecticides.
Buldozer is suitable for use on cotton, cabbage, cauliflower, brinjal, okra, chilli, tomato, soybean, groundnut, paddy, and other crops as per the registered label claims. Always follow the approved crop and pest label.
What farmers say about Buldozer
Real experiences from growers across Gujarat who use Emamectin Benzoate 1.9% EC every season.
My chilli crop was suffering badly from fruit borers and thrips. After one spray of Buldozer at 10 ml per pump, the damage stopped completely within two days. Very happy with the result.
I have been using Buldozer in my cotton fields for the last two seasons. The bollworm population drops sharply after application. The 250 ml pack is great value for a medium-sized plot.
Leaf miners in my brinjal crop were not responding to the usual sprays. Harishree dealer suggested Buldozer and it worked remarkably well. The translaminar action is very effective for hidden pests.
