Kunoichi Miticide (Cyenopyrafen 30% SC) - Expert Mite Control
The Japanese technology that breaks the lifecycle of resistant mites in Chilli and Apple crops.
Kunoichi (Cyenopyrafen 30% SC) is a premium acaricide (miticide) developed by Nissan Chemical Corporation, Japan, and marketed by Insecticides (India) Ltd. It is designed to solve the toughest mite problems where ordinary sprays fail.
Whether you are dealing with Red Mites, Yellow Mites, or Spider Mites, Kunoichi offers a "One Shot" solution. It attacks the mites' energy system, causing paralysis and death, helping farmers achieve higher yields and better crop quality.
Why Choose Kunoichi? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Fast Knockdown Action: Mites stop feeding almost immediately, with visible paralysis and death seen within 48 hours.
- ?️Complete Lifecycle Control: It doesn't just kill adults; it destroys Eggs, Larvae, and Nymphs, preventing future outbreaks.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Protection: One spray provides residual control for 14 to 28 days, reducing the need for frequent re-spraying.
- ?️Excellent Rain Fastness: The advanced formulation sticks to the leaf and remains effective even if it rains 2-4 hours after spraying.
- ?Safe for Ecology: It targets harmful mites but is safe for beneficial insects and predators, making it great for IPM farming.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Kunoichi uses a novel mechanism that older pesticides cannot match. It works by cutting off the power supply within the mite's cells.
- Contact & Penetration: Upon spraying, the chemical contacts the mite and penetrates its body (metabolizing into its active form).
- Energy Blockade: It specifically binds to Mitochondrial Complex II, stopping the production of ATP (energy).
- Rapid Death: Without energy, the mite becomes paralyzed, stops feeding immediately, and dies from starvation and metabolic failure.
Because it targets Complex II, it is highly effective against mites that have developed resistance to other common chemicals (which usually target Complex I).
Target Crops & Pests

|---|---|
| Chilli | Yellow Mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus), Red Mite |
| Apple | European Red Mite, Two-Spotted Spider Mite |
| Ornamentals (Rose) | Two-Spotted Spider Mite |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chilli | 100 - 120 ml | 200 Litres | 0.5 - 0.6 ml | 7 Days |
| Apple | - | As required | 0.3 ml | 15 Days |
| Rose / Ornamentals | 100 - 120 ml | 200 Litres | 0.6 - 0.8 ml | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply as soon as you see the first signs of mite infestation (3-5 mites per leaf) or when leaf curling begins.
- Mixing: Do not mix with other chemicals unless absolutely necessary. It works best as a standalone spray.
- Coverage: Mites hide under the leaves. Ensure the spray nozzle is directed upwards to cover the underside of the foliage thoroughly.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Kunoichi kill mite eggs?
Yes, it has excellent ovicidal activity, meaning it destroys mite eggs and prevents them from hatching, breaking the reproductive cycle.
2. Can I use drones to spray Kunoichi?
Yes, Kunoichi is officially approved for drone application, specifically on Chilli crops, making it easier to treat large fields.
3. How does it compare to older miticides?
Unlike older products that mites have become resistant to, Kunoichi uses a new Mode of Action (Group 25A) that remains highly effective against resistant populations.
4. Is it safe for bees?
It is generally safer for bees and beneficial insects compared to broad-spectrum sprays, but it is always best to avoid spraying during active foraging hours.
5. What is the waiting period before harvest?
For Chilli, you should wait at least 7 days after spraying before harvesting. For Apple, the waiting period is 15 days.
