And different to with the other distric or regency. While  in Pangkep regency too have a different ceremonies Mappalili between distric or subdistric with the other distric in one regency.

Therefore, Mappalili or Appalili must keep up as national culture asset.

 

Mappalili in Segeri

BONTOMATENE, Mapalili ritual would be conducted by Puang Matao Saidi, the Bissu leader in Segeri district, especially in Bontomatene village, marked the beginning of the planting season.

Until now people in Segeri still do the ceremony before planting rice, pound rice, and thanksgiving ceremony at the rice harvest.

The Purpose from Mappalili

Mappalili has goals that benefit the farmers as it works to overcome pest attack and the seeds of a new disease. That’s because the vacant land next to the field that was planted is no longer be a ground for the rice-destroyer insects. Because the land is at once tilled by the farmer. So the chance of pests, weeds and other insects such as stinky rice pest, planthopper (rice stem borer) is no longer breed.
