Miraculan - Triacontanol 0.05% EC - Corteva Agriscience
Miraculan Plant Growth Regulator | Triacontanol 0.05% EC
A triacontanol plant growth regulator for stage-specific foliar use in cotton, rice, chilli, tomato, groundnut and potato.
What it supports: Crop growth and yield through plant physiological processes.
When to use it: At the crop-specific days after planting or transplanting.
What to include: The correct crop stage, measured dose, spray water and balanced crop care.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌱Root-development support: Supports longer, better-spread roots as part of a well-managed crop programme.
- 🌾Tillering support: Supports earlier and stronger tillering in suitable crops, helping build the crop’s productive structure.
- ☀️Photosynthesis support: Helps support photosynthetic activity and the production of materials needed for plant growth.
- 🍃Growth and dry-matter support: Supports plant development and dry-matter accumulation; it is not a substitute for water or balanced nutrition.
- ⏱️Maturity and yield support: The manufacturer positions Miraculan for more uniform maturity and yield support when used correctly, without a guaranteed percentage gain.

How It Works
Triacontanol influences plant physiological processes involved in growth. Its role is growth regulation, not control of insects, weeds or crop diseases.
- Plant processes respond: The active influences enzyme and naturally occurring hormone activity associated with plant development.
- Photosynthesis and uptake are supported: Its physiological effects include support for photosynthesis, mineral uptake and water movement.
- Growth is supported at the planned stage: Protein synthesis, root development and other growth processes support crop performance within the whole crop-management programme.
Keep irrigation, nutrition and pest management in place. A growth-regulator spray cannot correct every cause of poor growth, and higher doses do not guarantee better results.

Use the crop’s own spray schedule; days after transplanting in rice are not the same as days after planting in other crops.
Application Guide
The table gives formulation-level Indian registration guidance for triacontanol 0.05% EC, not a substitute for the current Miraculan pack. Use it only where the supplied label carries the matching crop programme.

Each listed quantity is for one application. Keep all spray timings tied to the crop’s planting or transplanting date.
Cotton, rice, chilli, tomato and groundnut: use approximately 161.9–202.3 L water/acre (400–500 L/ha). Potato: approximately 202.3–242.8 L/acre (500–600 L/ha).
A numerical harvest waiting period is not stated in this formulation reference. This does not mean zero days or unrestricted harvest; follow the current supplied pack’s harvest and re-entry directions.
No per-litre or per-tank rate is provided here. Keep the area dose, spray-water volume and growth stage together.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check the crop and stage: Use only the six listed crops where the supplied Indian pack supports the programme. Count the days from planting, or from transplanting for rice.
- Measure each spray separately: Measure the formulation amount for the area being treated; the quantity shown is not the total for the whole season.
- Apply to foliage: Use the matching water volume and a calibrated foliar sprayer for an even application.
- Keep crop care balanced: Continue suitable irrigation, nutrition and protection from pests and diseases. Miraculan does not replace these inputs.
- Avoid assumed mixtures: Follow explicit supplied-pack directions before combining with another product; a jar test alone is not proof of crop safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Miraculan a fertiliser?No. It is a triacontanol plant growth regulator. Maintain balanced fertilisation and irrigation rather than using it as a nutrient replacement.
How does the cotton timing differ from rice?The formulation reference lists cotton sprays at 45, 65 and 85 days after planting, and rice at 25, 45 and 65 days after transplanting. Use only the schedule matching the current supplied pack.
How many sprays does potato receive?The formulation reference gives two sprays, at 30 and 45 days after planting. Its dose and water programme differ from the other five crops.
Is the table dose for the entire season?No. It is the amount for each application at the stated stage. Do not multiply or compress the scheduled treatments into one spray.
Does an unstated PHI mean harvest can start immediately?No. No numerical PHI is stated in the formulation reference used here. Follow the current Miraculan pack for harvest and re-entry directions.
