How It Works: Mode of Action
An insecticide for listed thrips, caterpillars and borers in cotton, chilli, grapes and maize.
-
Exposure: Susceptible pests contact or feed on treated plant material.
-
Leaf penetration: The product moves into treated leaves; this is called translaminar movement.
-
Nerve signalling changes: Spinetoram affects insect nerve receptors, disrupting normal activity and leading to pest control.
Action groups help plan rotation. A different brand name does not necessarily mean a different mode of action. Follow crop-specific resistance-management directions.

Keep cotton thrips distinct from the cotton tobacco caterpillar and spotted bollworm programme. Do not extend these uses to additional crops or pests without the matching Makeba label.
Dosage & Application Guide
Numerical application programmes are withheld because the manufacturer booklet and separate formulation references do not establish complete current Makeba directions with matching treatment conditions, method, carrier and harvest requirements. Verify these together on the supplied pack before use.
Keep the five crop-and-target programmes distinct: cotton thrips; cotton tobacco caterpillar and spotted bollworm; chilli thrips and fruit borer; grape thrips; and maize fall armyworm. Do not transfer quantities, carrier requirements or harvest intervals between them.
The manufacturer booklet limits the authority of its recommendations and is not the supplied current label. Do not combine its product quantities with water or waiting periods from generic formulation references. Missing harvest intervals do not permit immediate harvest.
No separate per-litre or tank dose is given. Obtain the application method, crop-stage timing, repeat interval, maximum applications, rainfast time and re-entry interval from the supplied label.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm the crop and target: Use the matching label entry, not a rate borrowed from another crop or a similar product.
-
Follow the complete directions: Check the stated quantity, water volume, mixing sequence, equipment, application method and timing. The listed crop and target scope alone is not a complete spray programme.
-
Check mixtures and rotation: Avoid highly acidic or alkaline mixtures. Do not assume compatibility with another pesticide, fertiliser or adjuvant. Follow label restrictions and rotate appropriately between action groups.
-
Record treatment and harvest: Record the product, crop and date. Follow the applicable harvest waiting period and field-entry precautions on the supplied label.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Makeba contain?
Spinetoram 11.7% in a suspension concentrate.
Which crops and pests are listed?
Cotton thrips, tobacco caterpillar and spotted bollworm; chilli thrips and fruit borer; grape thrips; and maize fall armyworm.
Does the same rate apply to all cotton pests?
No. The reference distinguishes thrips from tobacco caterpillar and spotted bollworm. Match the target as well as the crop before choosing directions.
Does through-leaf movement mean whole-plant systemic movement?
No. It means movement into treated leaves; this description does not claim unrestricted movement throughout the plant.
Can I use one waiting period for all crops?
Do not assume one interval applies to every crop. Confirm the current Makeba label’s exact crop-and-target harvest instructions before treatment and harvesting.
