Bayer Makau is a broad-spectrum insecticide made for paddy crops. Makau insecticide contains a diamide and neonicotinoid combination, giving both systemic and contact-based action against damaging rice pests. Bayer Makau helps control stem borer and leaf folder, two common pests that can damage tillers, leaves, and grain development. Makau insecticide works by disturbing insect muscle and nerve activity, so pests stop feeding and gradually die. Bayer Makau gives long-lasting protection when sprayed evenly with enough water.
Key Features and Benefits of Bayer Makau:
Dual Action: Bayer Makau combines diamide and neonicotinoid chemistry, ensuring better pest relief.
Targeted Control: Makau insecticide helps manage stem borer and leaf folder, which are important chewing pests in rice fields.
Longer Crop Protection: Makau insecticide gives lasting protection when sprayed at the early infestation stage with proper coverage.
Helps Protect Tillers: Makau insecticide reduces stem borer damage, helping lower the risk of dead hearts and white ear symptoms.
Useful Resistance Management: Bayer Makau contains two active ingredients, making Makau insecticide helpful in rotation-based pest management programs.
Makau Insecticide Uses:
Rice Stem Borers: Stem borer, yellow stem borer, dead heart risk, white ear risk.
Leaf Folder Pests: Rice leaf folder, folded leaves, leaf scraping damage.
Chewing Pest Pressure: Larvae that feed on leaves, stems, and tender crop parts.
Paddy Crop Protection: Early to moderate pest pressure where Bayer Makau is recommended for rice.
Bayer Makau Dose:
Use Bayer Makau as a foliar spray in paddy. Makau insecticide dose per litre is around 0.6 to 0.7 ml per litre when using 125 ml in 180 to 200 litres of water per acre. Makau insecticide should be sprayed uniformly so the solution reaches leaves, tillers, and lower crop parts where pests are active.
Crop | Target Pest | Dose per acre | Application Method | PHI |
|---|
Paddy / Rice | Stem borer | 125 ml | Foliar spray in 180 to 200 L water | 43 days |
Paddy / Rice | Leaf folder | 125 ml | Foliar spray with full crop coverage | 43 days |
Paddy / Rice | Stem borer and leaf folder together | 125 ml | Uniform spray on leaves and tiller zone | 43 days |
How to Use Bayer Makau:
Measure the required quantity of Bayer Makau as per the acreage.
Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water.
Add the measured Makau insecticide into a small amount of water first.
Mix Bayer Makau properly until the solution becomes uniform.
Pour the prepared Makau insecticide mixture into the spray tank.
Add the remaining water and stir the solution well.
Spray Bayer Makau evenly on the paddy crop.
Cover leaves, tillers, and the lower crop canopy properly.
Use Makau insecticide at the first sign of stem borer or leaf folder activity.
Do not spray Bayer Makau during strong wind, heavy rain, or very hot afternoon conditions.
Use the prepared Makau insecticide spray solution on the same day.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Bayer Makau when stem borer or leaf folder activity is first noticed in the paddy field. Early morning or late evening spraying is better because spray loss is lower and the crop is less stressed. Makau insecticide works best when larvae are still young, and pest damage has not spread heavily across the field.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: One timely Bayer Makau spray is generally suitable for early to moderate pest pressure. Repeat only if pest pressure continues and local label guidance allows it.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter the treated field for at least 24 hours after Makau insecticide application without proper protective gear.
Compatibility: Do not mix Bayer Makau blindly with fungicides, fertilizers, micronutrients, or plant growth products. Always do a jar test first.
Application Care: Makau insecticide performs better when the spray reaches both upper leaves and lower tiller areas.
Resistance Care: Bayer Makau should be rotated with other suitable insecticide groups to reduce resistance risk in paddy pests.
