UPL Macarena is a plant biostimulant and metabolic activator derived from a multi-stage seaweed fermentation process that extracts and concentrates the most biologically active compounds from marine algae. UPL Macarena works as both an abiotic stress buster and a metabolic activator; its active compounds trigger the expression of beneficial genes inside the plant, stimulating the crop's own defence and growth systems rather than supplying nutrients directly.
Key Features and Benefits of UPL Macarena:
Improves Growth: The active compounds in UPL Macarena stimulate key metabolic pathways inside the crop for better growth.
Stress Protection: UPL Macarena increases crops' natural tolerance mechanisms, helping them withstand drought, heat, salinity, and cold.
Better Uptake: This bio-stimulant enhances root absorption levels for better uptake and transportation of macronutrients and micronutrients.
Greater Yields: UPL Macarena applied at flowering and fruiting stages offers improved flower retention alongside enhanced and larger fruit sets.
Safe to Use: UPL Macarena is derived from natural marine sources, making it safe and highly suitable for organic farming practices.
UPL Macarena Uses — Suitable Crops:
UPL Macarena covers all crop types across Indian agriculture:
Cereals and Field Crops: Rice, Wheat, Maize, Sugarcane, Cotton, Soybean, Groundnut, Mustard, Pulses
Fruit Crops: Apple, Pomegranate, Mango, Grapes, Banana, Citrus
Vegetable Crops: Tomato, Chilli, Brinjal, Okra, Potato, Onion, Cabbage, Cauliflower
Plantation Crops: Tea, Coffee, Coconut, Cardamom
All Other Crops: Suitable for all agronomical and horticultural crops during flowering and fruiting stages
UPL Macarena Dose — Recommended Dose:
The UPL Macarena dose per litre does not apply as this product is measured in ml per acre rather than per litre — it is a concentrated biostimulant applied at 250 ml per acre as a foliar spray and 500 ml per acre through drip irrigation.
Application Method | Dose Per Acre | Timing |
|---|
Foliar Spray | 250 ml per acre | Pre-flowering, flowering, and fruit development stages |
Drip Irrigation | 500 ml per acre | Pre-flowering and fruit development stages |
How To Use UPL Macarena:
Measure 250 ml of UPL Macarena per acre for foliar spray or 500 ml per acre for drip application.
For foliar use, add the measured quantity to the sprayer tank with the required volume of clean water and mix well before spraying.
Apply uniformly across all plant surfaces — upper and lower leaf surfaces, stems, and developing fruit zones for complete coverage.
For drip application, introduce the measured dose through the drip system at the recommended stage — 500 ml per acre ensures good root zone distribution.
Apply at the pre-flowering, active flowering, and early fruit development stages for the strongest metabolic and stress-protection response.
Do not exceed the recommended dose — overuse is harmful to the plant and the environment.
Wear proper safety gear — mask, gloves, and goggles — during mixing and application.
Spray during early morning or late evening to improve absorption and reduce evaporative loss.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply UPL Macarena in the early morning or late evening. Key windows are pre-flowering, active flowering, and fruit set — when the crop's demand for metabolic support is highest. Post-stress application after drought events, heat waves, or flood damage also delivers a strong recovery response in stressed crops.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply 2–3 times per season at the key growth windows — pre-flowering, flowering, and fruit development. For crops under continuous abiotic stress (salinity or drought), more frequent applications at 20–25 day intervals may be considered.
Re-Entry Period: UPL Macarena is non-toxic under normal agricultural use. No strict re-entry restriction applies. Standard post-spray drying precautions are sufficient.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: Compatible with most insecticides, fungicides, and fertilizers. Always conduct a jar test before combining with unfamiliar products.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Wear proper safety gear — mask, gloves, and goggles — while handling UPL Macarena.
Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes — wash immediately with clean water if contact occurs.
Do not inhale while using the product.
Do not exceed the recommended dosage limit.
Keep UPL Macarena away from children and animals at all times.
