Systemic insecticide for specified crop pests. Confirm the
crop, pest, method and restrictions on the current Indian Actara pack. Ten 5 g sachets: 50 g total pack content, not a field

bee restrictions.
What to include: Accurate gram measurement, the approved method, water volume and
harvest interval.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🍃 Systemic activity: Thiamethoxam enters
plant tissue
rather than acting only on the leaf surface. Correct application is still essential.
-
⚖️ Weighable WG formulation: Water-dispersible granules
are measured in grams for the treated area. Neither sachet count nor tank size defines the field dose.
-
🔄 Clear resistance group: Thiamethoxam
belongs to IRAC
Group 4A. Changing to another thiamethoxam brand does not change the mode of action.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Thiamethoxam is a systemic insecticide with contact and ingestion
activity. It disrupts insect nerve signalling; it neither fertilises plants nor cures existing viral infection.
-
Reach the plant and pest: Use the approved route: foliar application treats the canopy; a specified soil drench treats the root
zone. These methods are not interchangeable.
-
Disrupt nerve receptors: Thiamethoxam competitively modulates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, interfering with normal nerve
signalling in susceptible insects.
-
Control susceptible insects: Disrupted nerve function leads to loss of normal function and death. Correct exposure and
susceptibility matter; no fixed knockdown time or control of resistant pests is promised.
Use pest monitoring and integrated management. Account for all
earlier Group 4A treatments, including other brands, and select further treatments with qualified local advice and current
labels.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm product, crop and pest: Use the current Thiamethoxam 25% WG pack directions. Do not substitute rates from 75% SG, seed
treatments or combination products. Identify the insect; leaf yellowing alone does not establish a pest or justify treatment.
-
Keep methods and measurements separate: Weigh granules accurately, not with a household spoon, and measure the treated area.
Calibrate equipment and follow the pack’s mixing and agitation procedure.
-
Protect people, bees and water: Use label-specified protective equipment. Avoid skin/eye contact, inhalation and drift. Observe
flowering and bee-foraging restrictions; prevent water contamination. Record the date for harvest planning.
