Chemical active ingredient and TYMIRIUM mode of action
- Active chemical: Cyclobutrifluram (TYMIRIUM active) belonging to the SDHI (Succinate Dehydrogenase Inhibitor) group.
- Targeted nematode control: Selectively halts cellular respiration in microscopic plant-parasitic nematodes, paralyzing motility and preventing juvenile penetration into root vascular vessels.
- Soil-borne fungal suppression: Concurrently inhibits fungal pathogens causing Fusarium root rot and vascular wilts, breaking the deadly disease-complex cycle.
- Broad crop selectivity: Delivers high efficacy against target plant nematodes while exhibiting safety toward beneficial soil microflora, predatory nematodes, and earthworms.
Target crops and agricultural applications
Widely adopted across commercial tomato, capsicum, cucumber, pomegranate, banana, and tobacco crops. In high-value drip-irrigated polyhouses and open orchards, applying Vaniva at transplanting prevents root-knot galling, promotes extensive white feeder root architecture, and ensures uninterrupted nutrient uptake.
Drip application method and label directions
- Apply exclusively through drip irrigation systems or precision root drenching around plant bases; not formulated for foliar spraying.
- Pre-irrigate the field slightly before chemical injection, inject the measured chemical dose, and flush the drip lines with clean water.
- Consult authorized agricultural dealers for state-specific product availability and technical label guidelines.
- Observe the mandatory Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) printed on the CIBRC approved label.

Common questions
What is the active chemical ingredient in Syngenta Vaniva?
Vaniva contains Cyclobutrifluram (formulated under TYMIRIUM technology as 38.4% w/w SC).
How is Vaniva applied in horticultural farming?
It is applied directly into the crop root zone via drip irrigation systems or as a targeted basal drench during transplanting.
Why is nematode control critical in drip-irrigated vegetables?
Nematodes wound root tissues, causing stunted growth and opening entry pathways for fatal Fusarium and Ralstonia wilt pathogens.
