Nichino Tychi Insecticide (Tolfenpyrad 15% EC)
The "One-Shot" Solution: Controls Sucking Pests, Chewing Pests, and Fungal Diseases.
Tychi is a next-generation broad-spectrum insecticide from Nichino India. It is designed to tackle the toughest pest complexes that have developed resistance to older chemicals. Powered by Tolfenpyrad, Tychi works by shutting down the insect's energy production (Mitochondria). Its unique advantage is its Dual Action: it effectively controls insects like Thrips, Jassids, and Diamondback Moth (DBM), while also preventing fungal diseases like Powdery Mildew and Anthracnose.

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⚡Dual Action (Insecticide + Fungicide): Kills insects (Thrips/Moths) and suppresses fungal diseases (Powdery Mildew/Anthracnose) in a single spray, saving you the cost of a separate fungicide.
- ?Immediate Feeding Stop: Causes rapid "energy starvation" in pests. They stop feeding immediately after contact, preventing further crop damage and virus transmission.
- ?Ovicidal Power: Kills not just the adults and larvae, but also the eggs. This breaks the reproductive cycle of rapidly multiplying pests like Diamondback Moth (DBM).
- ?️Breaks Resistance: Uses a novel Mode of Action (METI) that works against pests resistant to Pyrethroids and Organophosphates.
- ?️Excellent Rainfastness: The high-quality EC formulation sticks firmly to the leaf surface, ensuring effectiveness even if it rains a few hours after spraying.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Tychi works by starving the pest of energy. It inhibits the electron transport chain in the pest's mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell).
[Image of Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain inhibition]- Contact & Ingestion: The pest absorbs Tychi through its skin or by eating treated leaves.
- Energy Blockade: Tolfenpyrad binds to Complex I in the mitochondria, stopping the production of ATP (energy).
- Paralysis & Death: The insect immediately stops moving and feeding due to lack of energy, dying within 24-48 hours.
This unique mechanism also affects fungal spores, providing the secondary benefit of disease control.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pests & Diseases |
|---|---|
| Chilli | Thrips, Mites, Aphids + Powdery Mildew, Anthracnose |
| Cabbage / Cauliflower | Diamondback Moth (DBM), Aphids |
| Okra (Bhindi) | Jassids, Thrips |
| Cotton | Jassids, Thrips, Aphids, Whitefly |
| Cumin & Mango | Aphids, Hoppers + Powdery Mildew |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Ensure thorough coverage. Tychi acts by contact, so the spray must hit the pest (especially on the underside of leaves).
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Water Volume
| Application | Dose (ml / Litre) | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vegetables (Chilli, Okra, Cabbage) | 2.0 ml | 300 - 400 ml | 150 - 200 L |
| Cotton | 2.0 ml | 400 - 500 ml | 200 - 250 L |
| Mango / Cumin | 2.0 ml | Depends on Canopy | Ensure Coverage |
*Note: Use 200 Liters of water per acre for best results in dense crops like Cotton and Chilli.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the first sign of infestation or when disease risk (mildew) is high. Spray during cool hours (morning/evening).
- Coverage: Use Hollow Cone nozzles. Ensure the spray reaches the underside of leaves where Thrips and Aphids hide.
- Rotation: Do not use Tychi for two consecutive sprays. Rotate with a different group (like Syngenta Pegasus or Simodis) to prevent resistance.
- Safety: Tychi is Highly Toxic (Yellow Label). Wearing a mask, gloves, and protective clothing is mandatory. Do not inhale the spray.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Tychi really control fungus too?
Yes. While primarily an insecticide, Tolfenpyrad has proven efficacy against Powdery Mildew and Anthracnose, making it a "Two-in-One" solution for Chilli and Cumin farmers.
2. How is it different from Karate?
Karate is a "nerve poison" (knockdown) but many pests are now resistant to it. Tychi is an "energy poison" (METI) that works well against pests that survive Karate sprays.
3. Can I use it on eggs?
Yes, Tychi is ovicidal, meaning it kills the eggs of pests like Diamondback Moth (DBM), preventing the next generation from hatching.
4. What is the standard dose per pump (15L)?
At 2ml per litre, you should add approximately 30 ml of Tychi per 15-litre spray tank.
5. Is it safe for the operator?
Tolfenpyrad is a potent chemistry with a Yellow Triangle (Highly Toxic). It is safe for the crop, but the person spraying must strictly use PPE (Protection).
