Markar Insecticide | Bifenthrin 10% EC
An insecticide for the listed pests in cotton, rice and sugarcane.
What it controls: An insecticide for the listed pests in cotton, rice and sugarcane.
When to use it: Identify the crop and target problem first, then follow the timing on the supplied Indian label.
What to include: Check the crop-specific dose, application method, water volume and harvest interval before treatment.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🎯Crop-specific target coverage: The brand pairs cotton with bollworms and whitefly, rice with listed borers and hoppers, and sugarcane with termites. These are separate uses.
- 🛡️Contact activity: Susceptible insects can be affected by contact with the treatment. Correct placement must be selected from the label, especially for termites.
- 🍽️Activity through feeding: Bifenthrin also acts when susceptible insects take in the treatment. This is stomach action, not systemic movement through the entire plant.
- 🌾Field-crop and termite uses kept distinct: The product’s three crop entries help distinguish crop-canopy problems from a sugarcane termite problem. The correct method cannot be inferred from a shared active ingredient.
- 🔎Recognisable resistance group: The Group 3A code identifies Markar as a pyrethroid. Include this group when reviewing earlier applications and choosing label-approved alternatives.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Markar contains bifenthrin and acts through contact and feeding. It affects the insect nervous system rather than correcting a nutrient deficiency or curing crop disease.
- Treatment reaches the pest: Use the crop’s labelled placement and method. A liquid EC formulation does not establish whether a particular use is a leaf spray or soil-directed treatment.
- Nerve channels are disrupted: Bifenthrin affects sodium channels, which help carry electrical signals along insect nerves. This disrupts normal nerve communication.
- Normal insect movement fails: Affected susceptible insects lose normal function and may die. Continued monitoring is needed, and no fixed protection duration or guarantee is given.
Use the IRAC group information to plan resistance management with qualified crop advice. A different brand with the same mode of action is not a different resistance-management option.

|---|---|---|---|---|

Do not use this description alone to decide a dose or application method. Read the current label and leaflet supplied with the product before use.
*Dose, application method, water volume and harvest interval must be checked together for your crop. No numerical programme is provided here because these complete directions are unavailable.
PHI means the minimum time between the last treatment and harvest. It is not a repeat-treatment interval or a worker re-entry period. An unknown PHI does not mean immediate harvesting is allowed.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check the crop and problem: Match the actual crop and identified pest or disease to the supplied label. Do not choose a pesticide only from the appearance of damaged leaves.
- Confirm the complete directions: Before measuring any product, confirm the dose, application method, water quantity, permitted timing and harvest interval for that crop.
- Measure and prepare correctly: Use the measuring equipment and preparation instructions given on the pack. Do not use kitchen utensils, mix by hand or turn a pack size into an assumed acreage dose.
- Protect people and nearby water: Wear the protective clothing, gloves, eye protection and other equipment required by the label. Keep people, livestock, food, feed and water sources away from handling and treatment.
- Record and review the treatment: Record the product, crop, area and application date. Use the label’s re-entry and harvest restrictions, and assess the crop before deciding whether another treatment is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Markar the same as Markar Super?No. This catalogue product is bifenthrin 10% EC. Markar Super is a separate bifenthrin 8% SC product. Its tea, apple or other directions must not be transferred to Markar 10% EC.
2. Can I apply the sugarcane termite treatment as a leaf spray?Do not assume so. Use the exact sugarcane termite application method on the current Markar 10% EC label. A liquid formulation does not by itself tell you where or how to apply it.
3. Where can I find the correct crop dose?Use the current Markar 10% EC label and leaflet. Complete crop-specific doses, application methods, water volumes and harvest restrictions are not provided here.
4. Does the cotton use include every sucking pest?No. The listed cotton targets are bollworms and whitefly. Check the current pack label for any other pest rather than using this programme for aphids, jassids or mites.
5. Can I mix Markar with another product or harvest soon afterward?No blanket mixture approval or short harvest interval is established. Confirm any proposed mixture, crop-specific PHI, worker-entry restriction and repeat limit on the supplied labels before use.
