Benevia® Insecticide (Cyantraniliprole 10.26% OD): Complete Guide
The ultimate "Cross-Spectrum" solution for fighting resistant pests in Chilli, Tomato, and Vegetable crops.
Farming in India has changed. Traditional poisons often fail against tough pests like the Black Thrips (Thrips parvispinus). In regions like Guntur, farmers have faced yield losses as high as 85-100% due to these pests. Benevia® Insecticide helps solve this problem. It uses a modern chemical called Cyantraniliprole mixed in a special Oil Dispersion (OD) formula. This allows it to penetrate waxy leaves and kill both chewing caterpillars and sucking insects at the same time.
Best For: Farmers facing mixed pest attacks (borers + sucking pests) who need a fast, reliable solution.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Stops Feeding in Minutes: Pests get paralyzed almost immediately. This stops them from damaging your crop or spreading viruses like Tomato Leaf Curl.
- ?️Double Action Control: Uniquely kills two types of enemies: Chewing pests (Larvae/Caterpillars) and Sucking pests (Thrips, Aphids, Whiteflies).
- ⏳Deep Leaf Penetration: The medicine moves inside the leaf (translaminar action). It reaches pests hiding on the underside of leaves where sprays usually miss.
- ?️Rainfast in 2 Hours: The oil-based formula sticks to the plant. If it rains 2 hours after spraying, you do not need to spray again.
- ?Safety for Exports: It has a Green/Blue toxicity label. It degrades safely, making it suitable for crops like Grapes and Chilli intended for export.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Benevia® works on the insect's muscles. It targets the Ryanodine Receptors.
- Exposure: The insect eats the treated leaf or gets sprayed directly. The oil helps the poison stick to the insect's skin.
- Calcium Release: The chemical forces the insect's muscle calcium stores ($Ca^{2+}$) to empty out uncontrollably.
- Paralysis & Death: The insect's muscles contract and freeze. It cannot move or eat. It dies from starvation within 3 to 6 days.
Note: Because the insect stops eating in minutes, your crop is safe immediately, even if the insect takes a few days to die.
Target Crops & Pests

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not just mix by the tank.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chilli (Normal) | 240 ml | 200 L | 1.2 ml | 3 Days |
| Chilli (Black Thrips) | 360 ml | 200 L | 1.8 ml | 3 Days |
| Tomato | 360 ml | 200 L | 1.8 ml | 3 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray during the transition from vegetative to flowering stage. Avoid spraying in hot afternoon sun (above 35°C).
- Mixing: This product degrades in alkaline water. Always use a pH balancer (acidifier) to keep water pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Shake the bottle hard before opening.
- Coverage: Use Hollow Cone nozzles. You need at least 200 liters of water per acre to reach the pests hiding inside the flowers.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Benevia effective against Black Thrips (Thrips parvispinus)?
Yes. For heavy Black Thrips infestations in Chilli, university guidelines recommend using the higher dose of 360 ml per acre.
2. Can I mix Benevia with Coragen?
No. Never mix or rotate Benevia immediately with Coragen. They belong to the same chemical group (Group 28). Doing so increases pest resistance.
3. What is the difference between Benevia and Coragen?
Coragen is excellent for borers/caterpillars. Benevia controls BOTH borers and sucking pests (thrips/aphids) because of its unique oil formulation.
4. Why is the water pH important?
Benevia stops working if mixed in high pH (salty/alkaline) water. Always add a pH buffer first to make the water slightly acidic (pH 6-7).
5. How much does it cost per acre?
The cost typically ranges from ₹1,700 to ₹3,100 per acre, depending on whether you use the standard (240ml) or high (360ml) dose.
