How It Works: Mode of Action
- Target action: Flubendiamide acts on insect ryanodine receptors.
- Calcium disruption: It disrupts the calcium signalling needed for normal muscle function.
- Pest effect: Muscle dysfunction impairs feeding and movement in susceptible caterpillars.
Other Group 28 insecticides share this main target. Rotating brand names within Group 28 is not a mode-of-action change.

Dosage & Application Guide
The table contains older Indian Takumi approved-use spray references published by IRAC, not a current stock leaflet. The additional CIBRC formulation references below lack verified application routes and are not complete programmes. Match the current supplied Indian label. Approximate acre quantities retain hectare originals.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | ≈ 50.6 g (125 g/ha) |
≈ 202.3 L (500 L/ha) |
See note* | 30 days |
| Cotton / red gram | ≈ 101.2 g (250 g/ha) |
≈ 202.3 L (500 L/ha) |
See note* | 30 days |
| Cabbage | ≈ 25.3 g (62.5 g/ha) |
≈ 202.3 L (500 L/ha) |
See note* | 7 days |
| Tomato | ≈ 101.2 g (250 g/ha) |

Table spray uses: rice stem borer/leaf folder; cotton American bollworm; red gram pod borer; cabbage diamondback moth; tomato fruit borer. Do not transfer these rates to other targets.
Manufacturer-catalogue timing: rice 30–45 days after planting; cotton, cabbage and tea at pest occurrence; chilli and tomato from flowering to fruit formation; red gram, soybean, Bengal gram, groundnut and black gram from flowering to pod formation; sugarcane 15–40 days after planting. Catalogue revision is unconfirmed; match the current pack.
Additional formulation references only: tea semilooper, ≈60.7 g/acre (150 g/ha), water ≈161.9 L/acre (400 L/ha), PHI 7 days. Chilli fruit borer, ≈101.2–121.4 g/acre (250–300 g/ha), water ≈202.3 L/acre (500 L/ha), PHI 5 days.
Soybean Spodoptera and semilooper: ≈101.2–121.4 g/acre (250–300 g/ha), water ≈202.3 L/acre (500 L/ha). Semilooper PHI 29 days; Spodoptera PHI held because the catalogue states 27 days and CIBRC states 29 days.
Groundnut Spodoptera litura and black gram Spodoptera litura/Maruca: each ≈121.4 g/acre (300 g/ha), water ≈202.3 L/acre (500 L/ha). PHI: groundnut 31 days; black gram 23 days.
Bengal gram pod borer: ≈101.2 g/acre (250 g/ha), water ≈202.3 L/acre (500 L/ha), PHI 15 days. Sugarcane early shoot borer: ≈151.8 g/acre (375 g/ha), water ≈202.3–303.5 L/acre (500–750 L/ha), PHI 204 days.
* Application route and placement remain held for tea, chilli, soybean, groundnut, black gram, Bengal gram and sugarcane. Their known dose, water, timing and PHI references are not ready-to-apply directions. Do not infer spraying from formulation or water volume.
No per-litre or tank rate is derived. PHI is the interval between final treatment and harvest. No separate numerical programme is established for rice leaf borer, chilli Spodoptera or soybean Helicoverpa.
Current label directions are required for re-entry, repeats, maximum applications, mixing and equipment. Do not transfer these high-water references to drone application.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the product: Use Takumi flubendiamide 20% WG; do not substitute rates for flubendiamide SC or granular formulations.
- Match crop and target: Keep every published reference row paired with the exact crop and pest named in its callout.
- Timing and equipment: Use the supplied label’s crop stage, spray equipment and mixing directions. The reference table does not specify a nozzle or drone-water programme.
- Stewardship: Monitor pests and use an appropriate programme that accounts for Group 28 resistance. No tank mixture is recommended here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are WG and WDG different products here?The manufacturer calls Takumi 20% WDG; WG and WDG both describe water-dispersible granules in this product’s records.
Does Takumi contain azadirachtin?No. The manufacturer identifies it as flubendiamide 20% WG, not azadirachtin.
Can I use an SC dose for Takumi?No. The WG formulation has its own crop-specific product rates.
Are all twelve crop programmes complete here?No. Five older Indian references identify spray use; seven other crops retain qualified numerical references but their routes remain held. Additional targets and the conflicting soybean Spodoptera PHI also need the current leaflet.
Can these water rates be used for a drone?No. Drone applications need their own approved crop-specific method and water directions; conventional high-water records cannot be transferred.
