How It Works: Mode of Action
Tychi works differently from standard poisons. It attacks the pest's "power plant" (Mitochondria).
[Image of mitochondrial electron transport chain inhibition]- Cuts Energy Supply: It blocks the electron transfer in the pest's cells (Complex I inhibition). It's like pulling the plug on a machine.
- Immediate Paralysis: Without energy (ATP), the insect cannot move or feed. Damage to the crop stops almost immediately.
- Fungistatic Effect: It also blocks respiration in fungi, preventing Powdery Mildew spores from growing and spreading.
Note: Because it works on energy inhibition, it is highly effective against pests that have developed resistance to other chemicals.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Chilli | Thrips, Aphids, Powdery Mildew |
| Cumin (Jeera) & Mango | Aphids, Thrips, Hoppers, Anthracnose |
| Cabbage, Okra, Cotton | Diamondback Moth (DBM), Jassids, Whitefly |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Tychi is a contact insecticide—good coverage is essential.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chilli & Mango | 400 ml | 200 L | 2 ml | 7 Days |
| Cumin (Jeera) | 400 ml | 200 L | 2 ml | 29 Days |
| Cabbage / Okra | 400 ml | 200 L | 2 ml | 5 / 3 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Crucial for export crops like Cumin.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the first sign of pests (ETL) or during egg-laying stage for DBM. Spray in the late evening or early morning to avoid harming honeybees.
- Mixing: Compatible with most fungicides. Do NOT mix with Bordeaux mixture or alkaline products (Lime Sulphur).
- Coverage: Tychi is a contact poison. Use a hollow cone nozzle and ensure 200 Litres of water per acre. If you don't wet the pest, you won't kill it.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). This product has a Yellow Triangle toxicity label; avoid skin contact and inhalation.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Tychi kill caterpillars?
Yes, it is highly effective against the Diamondback Moth (DBM) in cabbage, killing both the larvae and the eggs. However, for general bollworms, other chemistries may be required.
2. Can I use Tychi on flowering crops?
Use with caution. Tolfenpyrad is toxic to bees. If applying on Mango or Cumin during flowering, spray only in the evening when bees are not active to protect pollination.
3. Is Tychi systemic or contact?
Tychi is primarily a contact and anti-feedant insecticide. It does not move inside the plant (non-systemic). Therefore, thorough coverage of the leaves is critical for success.
4. Why is the water volume (200L) so important?
Since Tychi doesn't travel inside the plant, the chemical must physically touch the insect or fungus to work. Using less water reduces contact and leads to poor results.
5. What is the advantage over other Thrips products?
Tychi offers "One-Shot" efficiency. While killing thrips, it also keeps Powdery Mildew and Anthracnose in check, saving you the cost of a separate fungicide spray.
