Water Agro Life Masaal is a combination insecticide containing Profenofos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC. It combines an organophosphate with a synthetic pyrethroid to provide contact and stomach activity against susceptible insect pests.
The combination offers rapid pest activity along with translaminar movement through treated leaf surfaces. Masaal is particularly useful for management of bollworm complex in cotton when applied at the appropriate stage of infestation and according to product-label recommendations.
Bollworms can damage cotton by feeding on squares, flowers and developing bolls. Masaal combines two insecticidal modes of action to help reduce bollworm infestation and protect developing crop parts when used at the recommended dose.
Good spray coverage, correct timing and field monitoring are important for obtaining effective results from the application.

Profenofos is an organophosphate insecticide that inhibits acetylcholinesterase in susceptible insects. This interferes with normal nerve-signal transmission and disrupts nervous-system function.
Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that acts on voltage-gated sodium channels in insect nerve cells. This produces rapid nervous-system disruption, paralysis and knockdown of susceptible pests.
The combination provides complementary contact and stomach activity for management of cotton bollworm complex.
Application should begin when bollworm infestation reaches the recommended economic threshold or according to local crop-protection advice. Early identification of pest activity can help prevent severe feeding damage.
Same-technical directions indicate that a repeat application may be considered after approximately 10–15 days when required by pest pressure and environmental conditions. Follow the current Masaal label for the final spray schedule.
