Description

TUSAN is a high-performance, broad-spectrum insecticide formulated with Spinosad, a naturally derived compound from the fermentation of Saccharopolyspora spinosa. It acts on the insect nervous system by activating nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and GABA receptors, leading to paralysis and death.

It is highly effective against chewing pests in crops like cotton, vegetables, pulses, fruits, and sugarcane. TUSAN is also suitable for organic and IPM programs due to its favorable environmental profile and low toxicity to non-target organisms.
