Usage of Tihan Insecticide for Tomato Tuta Absoluta in Nigeria
Tihan insecticide can be used as a preventive pesticide for Tuta Absoluta and other parasites on crops. Tuta Absoluta is a very deadly bug on tomato plants, it can wreck a tomato farm spanning several hectares of farmland within days.
Tomato farmers in Nigeria have lost billions of naira due to the crop damaging effects of Tuta Absoluta. However, Tihan insecticide has come as a savior when used with other insecticides and at the right time.
To address tomato Tuta Absoluta in Nigeria, 500ml of Tihan insecticide should be used on one hectare of tomato. 50ml of Tihan insecticide should be mixed with 15 liters of water and a knapsack sprayer should be used to spray the tomato plants. The person using the sprayer should ensure the solution contacts all parts of the plants. Patience and diligence are very important.
After two weeks, Tihan insecticide should be alternated with Thunder insecticide. Thunder will kill Tuta Absoluta parasites, whiteflies, and thrips.
If your tomato farm is heavily infested, apply 500ml of Tihan insecticide per hectare again.

How Mallam Yinusa Tackled Insects with Tihan Insecticide
Mallam Yinusa has grown tomatoes in Kano for 25 years, with over 5 hectares of tomatoes and peppers.
In 2017, his farm was infested with Tuta Absoluta, losing about 90% of yield. He learned new methods to combat Tuta Absoluta after this disaster.
In 2018, he applied neem oil and black soap days after transplanting, along with microbial inoculants 7 days after transplanting.
When infestation was detected, he started using Tihan and Thunder insecticides, applying Tihan 2-3 times within 14 days, alternating with Thunder after 14 days.
Yinusa successfully tackled Tuta Absoluta, achieved good yield, and ultimately was pleased with his results.
Tihan insecticide is one of the most effective insecticides sold by Bayer in Nigeria. Tihan is a systemic insecticide that fights parasites on vegetables, cotton, and other crops.
It is also an Insect Growth Regulator that prevents insects from growing or destroying crops. As both an insect growth regulator and insecticide, Tihan kills many insects affecting crops in Nigeria.
The active ingredients in Tihan insecticide are Spirotetramate and Flubendiamide, which belong to the chemical family of Ketoenole and Diamide Phtalique.
Tihan is formulated as dispersible oil, which adheres better and longer on leaf surfaces and plant parts. This ensures insects and parasites cannot escape the insecticide's effects, leading to their death.
