How It Works: Mode of Action
Tuventa works differently than most poisons. It attacks the insect's muscles rather than its nerves.
[Image of insect muscle paralysis mechanism]- Binding: The chemical binds to the Ryanodine Receptors in the insect's muscles.
- Paralysis: It forces the muscles to release all their stored calcium. Without calcium, the muscles become paralyzed.
- Elimination: The insect enters immediate paralysis, stops eating your crop instantly, and dies within a few days.
Note: This mechanism is specific to insects, making it very safe for humans and mammals.

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 | 47 |
| Maize | 34 ml | 200 L | 0.17 ml | 87 |
| Sugarcane* | 50 ml | 400 L | - | 214 |
| Soybean | 20 ml | 200 L | 0.1 ml | 44 |
| Cotton | 20 ml | 200 L | 0.1 ml | 67 |
*For Sugarcane: Use drenching method (mix in water and apply at the base of the plant).
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For best results, apply at the egg-laying stage or when you first see small larvae (preventive or early curative).
- Mixing: Shake the bottle well before use. Mix the required dose in a small amount of water first, then add to the main tank.
- Coverage: Ensure uniform coverage. For Maize, direct the spray nozzle into the whorl (center of the plant) where the larvae hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not use near fish ponds or silkworm rearing areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Tuventa control Fall Armyworm in Maize?
Yes, Tuventa is highly effective against Fall Armyworm (FAW). For best control, apply 34ml/acre directed into the whorls at the 2-3 leaf stage.
2. What is the difference between Tuventa and Coragen?
Both use the same technology (Rynaxypyr), but Tuventa is a high-concentration formula (47.85%) compared to the standard 18.5%. This means you need a smaller dose of Tuventa to achieve the same powerful results.
3. Is Tuventa safe for flowers and bees?
Tuventa is relatively safe for bees compared to other chemicals, but you should avoid spraying when bees are actively foraging (morning/evening). It does not harm the flowers or cause flower drop.
4. Can I mix Tuventa with other fungicides?
Yes, Tuventa has a stable SC formulation that is generally compatible with most common fungicides and insecticides. However, always do a small jar test before mixing a full tank.
5. What is the price per acre for Tuventa?
Based on the 50ml pack price, the approximate cost is ₹450 - ₹500 per acre. This is very cost-effective considering it provides protection for over 15 days.
