Bayer Admire is a strong systemic insecticide that is suitable against pests like jassids, aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and other pests. This insecticide works by acting as an antagonist to essential pest receptors, disrupting nerve signal transmission, causing paralysis, and the death of the pest. The Bayer Admire insecticide is highly cost-effective as it offers prolonged protection at very low doses while offering broad-spectrum protection.
Key Features and Benefits of Admire Insecticide:
Long Lasting: The Bayer Admire insecticide offers excellent pest control at low levels with prolonged protection, making it highly versatile.
Effective Coverage: Admire insecticide moves through roots and leaves and reaches the entire crop, ensuring complete crop protection.
Unique Action: The Admire insecticide has a unique mode of action that makes it tough for the pests to develop resistance.
Broad-Spectrum: This insecticide controls jassids, aphids, thrips, brown plant hopper (BPH), and other pests.
Cost-Efficient: Admire insecticide works effectively at just 60 gm per acre with long-lasting protection, reducing the need for frequent use.

Crop | Target Pest | Dose Per Acre | Per 15L Pump | PHI |
|---|
Cotton | Jassids, Aphids, Thrips, Whiteflies | 60 gm | 4.5 gm | 21 days |
Paddy | BPH, WBPH, Jassids | 60 gm | 4.5 gm | 14 days |
Okra | Jassids, Aphids, Thrips | 60 gm | 4.5 gm | 7 days |
Cucumber | Jassids, Aphids, Thrips | 60 gm | 4.5 gm | 7 days |
Tomato | Jassids, Aphids, Thrips, Whiteflies | 60 gm | 4.5 gm | 7 days |
How To Use Bayer Admire Insecticide:
Read the label instructions carefully before measuring and mixing Admire insecticide.
Measure 0.3 gm of Bayer Admire per litre of water — 4.5 gm per 15L pump / 60 gm per acre.
Drop the granules directly into the sprayer tank partially filled with water — the FBG granules dissolve instantly without requiring premixing or agitation.
Fill the tank to the required 200 litres per acre and mix gently before spraying.
Apply as a foliar spray using a flat fan or hollow cone nozzle — ensure thorough and uniform coverage of all plant surfaces.
Apply at the first sign of sucking pest activity on the crop — early application stops colony establishment and prevents yield-damaging population build-up.
Spray during early morning or late afternoon — avoid the hottest part of the day and do not spray when bees are actively foraging.
Wash hands and all exposed skin with soap and water thoroughly after every spray session.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Bayer Admire in the early morning or late afternoon on a calm, non-rainy day. For Paddy, apply when BPH populations reach 5–10 hoppers per hill. For Cotton and Tomato, spray at the first sign of Jassid or Whitefly colony formation on young leaves.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply at the first sign of sucking pest infestation. Bayer Admire provides up to 3 weeks of residual protection per application — frequency depends on pest incidence or severity. Do not exceed 2–3 applications per season. Always rotate Admire insecticide with products from different IRAC groups after 2 consecutive applications.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: Admire insecticide can be mixed with compatible pesticides — always seek expert advice or follow label guidance before combining with unfamiliar inputs. Avoid mixing with alkaline products.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Wear gloves, goggles, and a face mask before handling or spraying Bayer Admire.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke while mixing or applying the product.
Avoid direct skin and eye contact — wash immediately with plenty of clean water if contact occurs.
Toxic to bees and pollinators — spray during early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak bee foraging hours.
