Tychi Insecticide – Tolfenpyrad 15% EC for Sucking and Chewing Pest Control

Nichino Tychi Insecticide - Tolfenpyrad 15% EC

Tychi Insecticide is a broad-spectrum contact insecticide from Nichino India, formulated with Tolfenpyrad 15% EC. It provides quick antifeedant action and ovicidal activity against several important sucking and chewing pests.

Tychi works through a METI (Mitochondrial Electron Transport Inhibitor) mode of action, which is different from many commonly used insecticides. It is particularly useful for managing pests such as thrips, aphids, jassids, whitefly, hoppers and Diamondback Moth (DBM) in recommended crops.

Tychi is a contact insecticide, so good spray coverage is important for effective pest control. Nichino India also states that Tychi can provide preventive fungicidal activity against diseases such as Powdery Mildew and Anthracnose when used as recommended.
