Miracle | Triacontanol 0.1% EW
FMC Miracle is a foliar plant growth regulator containing triacontanol 0.1% w/w in an oil-in-water emulsion. It supports metabolic activity, vegetative development and dry-matter accumulation in the listed crops, with crop-specific spray programmes rather than a universal pump dose.
What it supports: Plant metabolic activity, vegetative growth and dry-matter accumulation in cotton, rice, tomato, chilli and groundnut.
When to use it: At the crop-specific stages in the spray programme; tomato, chilli and groundnut have three labelled sprays after planting.
What to include: The paired product amount and water volume, calibrated foliar equipment, correct crop-stage records and normal irrigation and nutrition.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 💧Foliar emulsion formulation: The EW formulation is an oil-in-water emulsion. FMC describes quick uptake when it is sprayed on leaves, making correct foliage coverage important.
- ⚙️Metabolic-activity support: The manufacturer identifies enhanced plant metabolic and enzyme activity as the product’s central growth-regulating role.
- 🌿Vegetative-development support: Miracle supports vegetative growth in the listed crops. It is a growth regulator, not a substitute for the nutrients and water needed to produce that growth.
- 🌱Dry-matter accumulation: FMC describes support for the accumulation and storage of plant dry matter, a different objective from simply creating temporary leaf greenness.
- ☀️Drought-condition support: FMC identifies support for resistance to drought conditions. This does not mean treated crops can be left without adequate water or that severely stressed plants will necessarily recover.

How It Works
Miracle supports physiological processes within the plant. Its action is growth regulation, not control of an insect, weed or fungal disease.
- Apply the emulsion to foliage: The labelled route is foliar spray, allowing the triacontanol formulation to contact leaves; FMC describes rapid leaf uptake.
- Support enzyme and metabolic activity: The manufacturer identifies increased enzyme activity and major plant metabolic functions as the physiological processes supported by Miracle.
- Support growth and dry-matter storage: These processes are associated with vegetative development and accumulation of plant dry matter. Crop response still depends on appropriate timing, nutrition and water availability.
Growth support does not establish pest control, a fixed yield increase, a zero-residue claim or permission to omit irrigation.

Application Guide
For the label programmes below, the original label rate is 0.25 L of product per hectare in 400–500 L of water per hectare per spray. Approximate acre equivalents are shown alongside the original units.
Crop uses and application
| Crop | Purpose | Product dose | Method and timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tomato | Plant growth promotion | Approx. 101 ml/acre per spray Original label: 0.25 L/ha (250 ml/ha) |
Foliar spray at 25, 45 and 65 days after planting. Approx. 162–202 L water/acre per spray. Original water basis: 400–500 L/ha per spray. |
| Chilli | Plant growth promotion | Approx. 101 ml/acre per spray Original label: 0.25 L/ha (250 ml/ha) |
Foliar spray at 25, 45 and 65 days after planting. Approx. 162–202 L water/acre per spray. Original water basis: 400–500 L/ha per spray. |
| Groundnut | Plant growth promotion | Approx. 101 ml/acre per spray Original label: 0.25 L/ha (250 ml/ha) |
Foliar spray at 25, 45 and 65 days after planting. Approx. 162–202 L water/acre per spray. Original water basis: 400–500 L/ha per spray. |
| Cotton | Plant growth promotion | Approx. 101 ml/acre per spray Original label: 0.25 L/ha (250 ml/ha) |
Foliar spray at 45, 65 and 85 days after planting. Approx. 162–202 L water/acre per spray. Original water basis: 400–500 L/ha per spray. |
| Rice* | Plant growth promotion | See note* | Foliar spray under the supplied crop-specific timing programme. |
Keep the product amount, water volume and application stage together. The per-acre figures are rounded equivalents of the hectare programme, not an extra application or a ready-made per-pump dilution.
*For rice, confirm the timing reference on the supplied pack before treatment. Do not transfer the schedules for cotton, tomato, chilli or groundnut to rice.
No harvest interval is supplied in the reviewed source, including for cotton, tomato, chilli and groundnut. Check the supplied pack’s harvest restrictions before use. Do not infer immediate harvest or a zero-day waiting period; also observe restrictions for other products used in the crop.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the crop and planting date: Cotton, tomato, chilli and groundnut programmes are timed from planting. Keep a reliable planting-date record before planning the three sprays.
- Calibrate the foliar sprayer: Measure the area and water output so the correct product amount and total water are delivered together. The label lists high-volume knapsack and low-volume motorised knapsack equipment.
- Prepare the correct dilution: Use dedicated measuring equipment. The original supported amount is 250 ml/ha per spray in 400–500 L/ha water; do not add the full hectare quantity to an arbitrary tank volume.
- Mix with suitable equipment: Use a suitable stirring rod rather than hands when preparing the diluted solution. Avoid splashing, eye contact and inhaling spray mist.
- Apply at the supported stage: Cotton: spray at 45, 65 and 85 days after planting. Tomato, chilli and groundnut: spray at 25, 45 and 65 days after planting. Keep rice to its own supplied crop instructions.
- Maintain crop management: Continue balanced crop nutrition, irrigation and separate pest monitoring. Do not rely on Miracle to supply water or control a crop disease.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Miracle and what does EW mean?Miracle is a plant growth regulator containing triacontanol 0.1% w/w minimum. EW means an oil-in-water emulsion. It is a liquid formulation for foliar application, not a conventional fertiliser or pest-control product.
2. What is the supported dose for tomato, chilli and groundnut?For each spray, the linked leaflet gives 0.25 L product/ha in 400–500 L water/ha, approximately 101 ml product in 162–202 L water per acre. The three sprays are at 25, 45 and 65 days after planting. Keep the rate, water and timing together.
3. Can I use that schedule on cotton or rice?No. Cotton uses the same 250 ml/ha product and 400–500 L/ha water per spray, but its three sprays are at 45, 65 and 85 days after planting. Rice requires confirmation of its own timing reference. The reviewed source supplies no harvest interval; check the supplied pack’s restrictions.
4. Does drought support mean I can reduce necessary irrigation?No. FMC describes support for crop resistance to drought conditions, but a growth regulator does not replace water. Maintain irrigation and address the cause of stress directly.
5. Can I calculate a universal dose for a 15-litre sprayer?Not from tank size alone. The area covered by the tank and the crop’s prescribed total water must be known. Use calibrated equipment to keep the product-per-area and water-per-area programme together rather than applying a generic pump rate.
