Protect your crops with the power of Japanese Technology and the IFFCO trust.
IFFCO Taiyo is a high-performance systemic insecticide designed to eliminate tough sucking pests like Aphids, Jassids, Whiteflies, and Hoppers. Formulated as high-quality Water Dispersible Granules (WG), it is easy to mix and safer to use than traditional powders. Beyond pest control, Taiyo offers a unique "Vigor Effect"—it acts as a bio-activator that strengthens roots, greens up foliage, and helps your crop withstand stress for higher yields.
Best for: Rice (Paddy), Cotton, Vegetables, Tea, and Mango orchards.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Taiyo works through a dual-action mechanism that targets both the pest's nervous system and the plant's internal growth systems.
- Systemic Absorption: Upon spraying, the chemical is rapidly absorbed by leaves and roots. It travels upward (acropetally) through the xylem to protect even the new leaves that grow after spraying.
- Nerve Paralysis: Thiamethoxam binds to receptors in the insect's nervous system. This causes over-stimulation, tremors, and paralysis. The insect stops feeding immediately and dies within 24-48 hours.
- Physiological Boost: Independent of killing pests, it activates specific plant proteins that help the crop survive drought and heat, improving overall crop quality.
*Effective via both Contact (direct spray) and Ingestion (when pests suck sap).
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), White Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH), Green Leaf Hopper (GLH) |

| Tea & Mango | Tea Mosquito Bug, Mango Hoppers |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Tank sizes vary, but the amount of chemical per acre must remain constant.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | 40 - 80g | 200 L | 0.2 - 0.4g | 14 Days |
| Cotton | 40 - 80g | 200 L | 0.2 - 0.4g | 21 Days |
| Vegetables | 80g | 200 L | 0.4g | 3 - 5 Days |
| Tea | 40g | 160 L | 0.25g | 7 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when pest populations reach the "Economic Threshold Level" (e.g., 5-10 hoppers per hill in Rice).
- Mixing (Pre-dilution): Dissolve the required granules in a small bucket of water first to create a solution, then add this to your spray tank. This ensures the granules dissolve completely.
- Coverage: Ensure the spray reaches the undersides of leaves and the base of stems where pests like Hoppers and Whiteflies hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not spray during peak bee foraging hours (mid-day).
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Taiyo and Taiyo Plus?
Taiyo (25% WG) is designed for foliar sprays (leaves). Taiyo Plus (30% FS) is a liquid formulation designed strictly for seed treatment. Do not use Taiyo WG for seed treatment as it may not coat the seeds properly.
2. Is Taiyo safe for Honey Bees?
Thiamethoxam is toxic to bees. To protect them, avoid spraying during flowering stages or apply only in the late evening when bees have returned to their hives.
3. Can I mix Taiyo with other chemicals?
Taiyo is compatible with most common insecticides and fungicides. However, avoid mixing it with highly alkaline substances (like Bordeaux mixture) as this can reduce its effectiveness.
4. Does it kill caterpillars (Sundhi)?
No. Taiyo is specialized for sucking pests (Hoppers, Whiteflies, Aphids). For chewing pests like caterpillars or bollworms, you will need a different insecticide.
5. How many acres does the 250g pack cover?
At the standard dosage for high pest pressure (80g/acre), one 250g bottle will cover approximately 3 acres. For preventative use (40g/acre), it can cover up to 6 acres.
