How It Works: Mode of Action
- Contact or ingestion exposes the insect: Rallis describes both contact and stomach activity.
- Nerve receptors are affected: Thiamethoxam acts as a competitive modulator of insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
- Normal insect function is disrupted: Excessive nerve stimulation leads to loss of normal function and pest control.
Rotate modes of action according to the label and resistance-management advice. Other Group 4A brands are not a different mode of action.

Rice / cotton*: shared dose and water only. Rice applies to the seven pests listed above, PHI 14 days; cotton applies only to jassids, aphids and thrips, PHI 21 days. Cotton whitefly has its separate higher-dose row. The accessible reference does not establish the route for these rice/cotton entries. Other reference rows: okra–jassids/aphids/whiteflies PHI 5 days; wheat–aphids PHI 21 days; mustard–aphids PHI 21 days; tea–mosquito bug PHI 7 days. Their application routes are not established by the accessible Anant page.
Mango / citrus*: shared dose and water only. Mango–hoppers has PHI 30 days; citrus–psylla has PHI 20 days. The citrus reference specifies spraying from initial pest appearance, with 2–3 repeat sprays at 15–21-day intervals according to pest intensity. Mango route remains to be confirmed. Tomato / brinjal*: foliar whitefly programme only. Tomato PHI 5 days, with repeat sprays at 10–15-day intervals; brinjal PHI 3 days, with repeat sprays at 15–21-day intervals. Both references start at initial pest appearance and describe 2–3 repeat sprays depending on pest intensity; confirm the total permitted number on the current pack.
Additional route-specific references, not current Anant brand claims: potato–aphids soil drench, 200 g/ha (about 80.94 g/acre), water 400–500 L/ha (about 161.87–202.34 L/acre), PHI 77 days. The potato foliar row also has PHI 77 days but a different dose and water volume. Tomato–whiteflies soil drench, 400 g/ha (about 161.87 g/acre), water 500 L/ha (about 202.34 L/acre), PHI 5 days: root-zone treatment after transplanting, once per crop season. Rice nursery*: an additional formulation-reference soil-drench programme for green leafhopper, thrips and whorl maggot. It gives 2,000 g/ha (about 809.37 g/acre), water 250 ml/m² and PHI 86 days. This is not the main-field rice programme; Rallis’s accessible Anant page does not confirm this nursery use. Verify the current pack before use.
Per-acre amounts are approximate conversions of the stated hectare rates using 1 acre = 0.40468564224 ha. The original hectare figures are retained. No per-litre or tank rate has been calculated from an area rate. See note*: no independent per-litre dose is provided. Missing route, stage, interval, maximum applications and re-entry directions must be obtained from the current Anant label. Nursery drench, field treatment, foliar spray and soil drench are different programmes. Do not exchange their dose, water or PHI.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Choose the crop and route: Match crop, pest and route on the current Indian Anant label; the same active ingredient does not make every formulation-reference use a brand claim. Use only the label-authorised foliar or drench programme. Do not treat a nursery with the field-rice rate or substitute drench and foliar rates.
- Measure by the correct basis: Use the stated area rate and water basis. No universal per-litre or pump quantity is established here.
- Observe harvest and re-entry: Follow the crop-and-route-specific PHI on the current pack, including the separate rice nursery and field entries, and its re-entry period.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Anant contain?Thiamethoxam 25% WG, an IRAC Group 4A insecticide.
Which crops are listed by Rallis?All eleven manufacturer-listed crops and their specific pests are shown in the target table. Confirm the current pack before use.
Can I use one dose for all sucking pests?No. Cotton whitefly differs from cotton jassids, aphids and thrips, and crop/route programmes have different doses, water volumes and harvest intervals.
Can I swap soil-drench and foliar rates?No. Keep the potato and tomato programmes separate and confirm each route on the current Anant label. The nursery programme is only a formulation reference.
Are the reference PHIs the current Anant label?No. These are formulation-reference values. The current Indian Anant pack and local rules govern use and harvest.

Read the current Indian pack and leaflet before use. Use only the permitted crop, target, dose and application method, and observe local restrictions. Protect bees and other pollinators. Follow the current label’s flowering-crop and bee-exposure restrictions; do not assume a time of day alone makes treatment safe. Wear the protective equipment specified on the pack. Avoid skin and eye contact, inhaling spray or dust, and eating, drinking or smoking while handling. Prevent drift and runoff into water bodies. Keep people and animals away as required by the label; store in the original labelled container away from food, feed and children. Do not assume tank-mix compatibility. Follow the label for mixing, equipment cleaning and disposal; never reuse pesticide containers.
