Vayego 200 SC Insecticide is a suspension concentrate formulation containing 200 g/L of the active constituent tetraniliprole. Developed by Bayer CropScience, it provides targeted control of key insect pests across horticultural blocks and agricultural cropping systems in Australian growing districts, from the Goulburn Valley and Riverland to northern Queensland.
Positioned as a modern tool for crop protection schedules, Vayego 200 SC offers residual protection when integrated into pest management programmes. Growers and agronomists should consult the approved container label to confirm specific application guidelines, registered uses, and recommended spray equipment setups for their target crops and paddocks.

Withholding period
WITHHOLDING PERIODS Harvest (H) Sweet corn: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 1 DAY AFTER APPLICATION Mangoes, stone fruit: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 3 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION Pome fruit, table grapes: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION Almonds and macadamias: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 10 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION Maize: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION Grazing (G) Orchards: DO NOT GRAZE TREATED ORCHARD Vineyard: DO NOT GRAZE TREATED VINEYARD Sweet corn: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 1 DAY AFTER APPLICATION Maize: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL (ESI) ? 7 DAYS Livestock that has been grazed on or fed treated crops should be placed on clean feed for 7 days prior to slaughter.
Withholding periods are specified on the approved label and must be followed strictly prior to harvest or grazing. Harvest withholding periods vary by crop, ranging from short intervals for sweet corn, stone fruit, and mangoes, to longer intervals for pome fruit, table grapes, tree nuts (almonds and macadamias), and maize. Grazing restrictions apply to treated orchards and vineyards where livestock must not be grazed, as well as specific stock food intervals for sweet corn and maize. An Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) applies to livestock grazed on or fed treated crops prior to slaughter. Refer to the label table for the exact withholding constraints relevant to your crop.
Mode of action
Tetraniliprole is an anthranilic diamide insecticide assigned to IRAC Group 28. It works by binding to and activating ryanodine receptors in insect muscle cells, causing an uncontrolled release of calcium ions from internal stores. This results in muscle paralysis, rapid cessation of feeding, and eventual mortality of susceptible target pests.
Resistance management
To preserve the effectiveness of Group 28 insecticides and manage the risk of pest resistance, application programmes should follow strict rotation strategies. Avoid exposing consecutive pest generations to Group 28 chemistry alone. Alternate Vayego 200 SC with effective insecticides from distinct mode-of-action groups, observe regional windowing recommendations, and keep accurate records in your spray diary.
Tank-mix compatibility
Suspension concentrate insecticides require complete dispersion in the spray tank and continuous agitation during application. When planning tank mixes with foliar fertilisers, adjuvants, or other crop protection products, always check physical compatibility beforehand using a jar test. Exercise caution when mixing oils with copper or sulphur products, and avoid applying oil-based combinations during periods of extreme heat or plant stress. Always refer to the approved label for detailed compatibility statements.
Handling and environment
When handling and applying Vayego 200 SC, use personal protective equipment as directed on the product label. Avoid drift onto non-target vegetation, watercourses, and areas where beneficial insects or foraging bees are active. Always adhere to farm safety guidelines, and consult the APVMA-approved product label on the container for specific personal protection instructions, environmental hazard precautions, and re-entry guidance.
Common questions
- How do I determine the correct timing for applying Vayego 200 SC?
- Application timing relies on regular paddock monitoring, pest pressure, and crop growth stages. Intervene early when target pests or egg lays are first identified before major crop damage occurs. Consult the approved label for specific timing recommendations.
- What is meant by an Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) on the label?
- An Export Slaughter Interval specifies the length of time livestock must be kept on clean, untreated feed after grazing or consuming treated crop material before they can be slaughtered for export markets.
- How should Group 28 insecticides be rotated in a spray diary?
- Group 28 diamides should be used within a defined spray 'window' targeting a single pest generation, followed by a window of non-Group 28 chemistries to prevent selecting for resistant populations.
- Can livestock be grazed in orchards or vineyards treated with Vayego 200 SC?
- No. The approved label explicitly prohibits grazing livestock in treated orchards and vineyards. Always check the withholding period section of the label for specific grazing restrictions.
- What steps should I take before tank-mixing this product with standard adjuvants?
- Perform a physical jar test with the proposed tank-mix partners in correct proportions, ensure full agitation in the spray tank, and check the label for specific compatibility cautions regarding environmental conditions and plant safety.
