What sets TURBO apart as a premium Novaluron + Indoxacarb insecticide.
Harishree's advanced suspension concentrate ensures uniform dispersion, excellent leaf spread, and dependable spray stability in the tank.
Combining Novaluron and Indoxacarb addresses both feeding larvae and developing instars for more complete caterpillar management.
Manufactured with strict quality control, dealer support, and batch-to-batch consistency growers rely on season after season.
Clear 20 ml per pump dosing, crop-wise tables, and safety notes help agronomists and growers apply TURBO confidently.
Why growers trust TURBO for dependable caterpillar and borer management.
Novaluron disrupts chitin synthesis (IRAC Group 15) while Indoxacarb blocks sodium channels (IRAC Group 22A), hitting caterpillars through different biochemical pathways for stronger, resistance-smart control.
TURBO manages bollworms, Helicoverpa, Spodoptera, fruit borers, pod borers, stem borers, and leaf-eating caterpillars when sprayed at early infestation with good canopy coverage.
The suspension concentrate adheres well to foliage and delivers lasting protection, reducing the frequency of sprays during peak borer pressure.
Used at the recommended 20 ml per pump dose and correct crop stage, TURBO supports clean foliage and marketable produce on labeled crops.
A simple 20 ml per pump recommendation keeps mixing fast and accurate for knapsack sprayers in everyday farm operations.
Distinct chemistry from pyrethroids and organophosphates makes TURBO a valuable rotation option in integrated pest management programs.
Novaluron 5.25% + Indoxacarb 4.5% w/w SC (TURBO) is a dual-action suspension concentrate insecticide combining an insect growth regulator with an oxadiazine for powerful control of lepidopteran larvae including bollworms, fruit borers, pod borers, and leaf-eating caterpillars in cotton, chilli, tomato, and vegetables. Recommended dose: 20 ml per pump.
Dual mode of action — Novaluron (IGR) plus Indoxacarb (oxadiazine) for comprehensive caterpillar control.
On application, TURBO forms an even SC film on leaf surfaces. Caterpillars ingest or contact the active deposit while feeding on treated foliage.
Indoxacarb is activated inside the caterpillar gut and blocks sodium channels in nerve cells, causing paralysis and quick cessation of feeding.
Novaluron inhibits chitin synthesis, preventing larvae from completing moulting. Affected instars cannot develop to the next stage and die.
The combination delivers immediate knockdown plus extended control of newly hatched larvae, protecting crop yield and foliage quality between sprays.
TURBO delivers strong control against major lepidopteran pests when applied at early larval stages.
Controls American, pink, and spotted bollworm larvae that damage cotton squares and bolls, protecting lint yield and quality.
Effective against shoot and fruit borers in tomato, brinjal, and chilli that bore into tender fruits and reduce market grade.
Manages pod borers in pulses and soybean that attack developing pods and cause shriveled, unmarketable grains.
Suppresses stem-boring larvae that tunnel into stalks and weaken plant vigour in cotton, maize, and vegetable crops.
Knocks down defoliating caterpillars including armyworms and loopers that strip foliage and reduce photosynthetic area.
Provides strong activity against Spodoptera litura and related species that cause heavy defoliation in chilli and vegetables.
Targets Helicoverpa armigera larvae — a major bollworm and fruit borer species across cotton, pulses, and solanaceous crops.
TURBO is trusted across India for protecting field and vegetable crops from caterpillars and borers.
A leading choice for bollworm management during square and boll formation stages with dependable residual cover.
Protects against fruit borers and Spodoptera that damage pods, colour, and export quality in chilli fields.
Controls fruit borers and leaf-eating caterpillars to reduce fruit drop and improve harvest grade.
Manages diamondback moth and other caterpillars that damage heads and reduce cole crop marketability.
Defends curds and foliage from borer and caterpillar damage during head development.
Controls pod borers and defoliating caterpillars during pod-fill for better grain weight and quality.
Protects gram, pigeon pea, and other pulses from pod borers during critical pod-setting windows.
Broad fit across brinjal, okra, and other vegetables facing mixed caterpillar and borer pressure.

Semantic comparison showing why dual-action TURBO outperforms single-MOA traditional sprays.
| Feature | TURBO | Traditional insecticides |
|---|---|---|
| Mode of action | Dual: IGR (Novaluron) + oxadiazine (Indoxacarb) | Single MOA — pyrethroid or OP only |
| Caterpillar spectrum | Broad lepidopteran including resistant Spodoptera | Limited or declining efficacy on tough caterpillars |
| Residual control | Long-lasting SC deposit on foliage | Shorter residual; more frequent sprays needed |
| Resistance risk | Two IRAC groups reduce resistance build-up | Higher resistance risk with repeated single-MOA use |
| Crop safety | Crop-safe at 20 ml/pump on labeled crops | Varies; some products cause phytotoxicity at high dose |
| Application dose | 20 ml per pump — simple and consistent | Often higher volumes or complex tank mixes |
Why the TURBO combination delivers more complete caterpillar control than either active alone.
| Comparison point | TURBO (combination) | Single ingredient |
|---|---|---|
| Novaluron alone | Novaluron + Indoxacarb combination | IGR only — slower knockdown on large larvae |
| Indoxacarb alone | Novaluron + Indoxacarb combination | Fast knockdown but no IGR effect on moulting |
| Larval stages covered | Early to mid instars plus active feeders | Each single active covers a narrower larval window |
| Residual duration | Extended protection from IGR component | Shorter field persistence alone |
| Resistance management | Two MOAs in one spray | Requires separate rotation products |
| Cost efficiency | One product, one mix, dual action | May need tank mix or sequential sprays |
Feedback from farmers using TURBO across cotton, chilli, tomato, and vegetable crops.
TURBO gave excellent bollworm control in my cotton. Larvae stopped feeding within two days and the crop stayed clean.
I used TURBO on chilli for Spodoptera. The dual-action formula worked better than my old single-product spray.
20 ml per pump is easy to remember. TURBO mixed smoothly and gave good fruit borer control in tomato.
