Description

Thiamethoxam is a broad spectrum systemic insecticide It has  both contact and stomach action. It is a granular soluble insecticide of the Neonicotinoid group. It is highly effective at low use rates against a broad spectrum of sucking, soil and leaf dwelling pests.

This is a modern insecticide that belongs to the neonicotinoid group. It contains Thiamethoxam 25% in the form of water dispersible granules. This formulation, when put in water, disperses evenly without forming lumps and this ensures the insecticide spreads properly on crop leaves and also gets absorbed inside the plant tissues. The chemical is systemic in nature, which means once applied it is taken up by the roots and leaves and then moves through the xylem sap in the entire plant body. Because of this systemic movement, even the new growing parts of the plant are protected from insect attack.

The main mode of action of Thiamethoxam is that it binds strongly to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in the insect nervous system. This receptor is very important for nerve signal transmission in insects. When the chemical binds to this site, the insect nervous system gets disturbed which results in continuous nerve excitation. The insects stop feeding within a few hours of contact or ingestion and soon become paralyzed and die. That is why growers see a quick knock down effect after application.
