How It Works: Mode of Action
Tuventa works by targeting the insect's muscular system. It binds to the Ryanodine Receptors, causing an uncontrolled release of calcium.
- Bind & Activate: Upon ingestion or contact, the chemical binds to the muscle receptors.
- Calcium Depletion: It forces the release of stored calcium, leading to immediate muscle paralysis.
- Elimination: The insect loses the ability to contract muscles, stops feeding instantly, and dies within 24-72 hours.
Note: It has translaminar activity (moves through the leaf) and systemic action (moves from roots to stem), ensuring hidden pests are reached.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | Yellow Stem Borer, Leaf Folder |
| Maize (Corn) | Fall Armyworm (FAW), Stem Borer |
| Sugarcane | Early Shoot Borer, Top Borer |
| Soybean & Cotton | Girdle Beetle, Bollworm, Tobacco Caterpillar |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 20 ml | 200 L | 0.1 ml/L | 47 |
| Maize | 27 - 33 ml | 200 L | 0.15 ml/L | 87 |
| Sugarcane | 50 ml (Drenching) | 400 L | 0.12 ml/L | 214 |
| Soybean/Cotton | 20 ml | 200 L | 0.1 ml/L | 44 / 67 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Water volume based on approx 500-1000L/Ha standard.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Rice/Maize, apply at the early stage of infestation (egg hatching or early instar). For Soybean girdle beetle, apply 15-25 days after sowing.
- Mixing: Fill the spray tank halfway with water, add the required dose of Tuventa, mix well, and fill the rest.
- Coverage: For Maize, direct the nozzle into the whorl. For Sugarcane, use soil drenching near roots.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is Tuventa different from Coragen?
Tuventa has a much higher concentration (47.85% vs 18.5%). This means you need a significantly lower dose per acre for the same powerful results, making it easier to handle and transport.
2. Does Tuventa control Fall Armyworm in Maize?
Yes, it is highly effective against Fall Armyworm. For best results, spray directly into the whorl of the maize plant at the 2-3 leaf stage or when pests are first seen.
3. Is Tuventa safe for Silkworms?
No. Tuventa is toxic to silkworms. Do not use it near mulberry plantations and ensure no spray drifts onto mulberry leaves.
4. What if it rains after spraying?
Tuventa has excellent rainfastness. Once the spray dries on the leaf (typically 2-4 hours), it resists washing off, ensuring your investment is protected.
5. Can I use Tuventa for soil drenching?
Yes, specifically for Sugarcane. Drenching allows the plant roots to absorb the medicine, providing long-term protection against shoot borers from the inside out.
