Areva - Thiamethoxam 25% WG - Dhanuka

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

• 🌿Systemic action: Thiamethoxam moves within treated plants and affects susceptible feeding insects.
• 🎯Crop-specific pest coverage: The target table keeps each crop with its pests instead of making a blanket sucking-pest claim.
• 🧭Different routes kept separate: A soil drench is placed at the root zone; a foliar spray is applied to the crop canopy. They are not interchangeable.
• 💧Water-dispersible form: The WG formulation differs from liquid seed dressers even when the active ingredient name is similar.
• 🔄Recognisable mode of action: Group 4A identifies the active ingredient’s action and helps avoid repeating the same group under another brand.

Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action

Thiamethoxam affects the nervous system of susceptible insects. Systemic movement does not make every application route suitable for every crop.

1. The plant absorbs the active ingredient: Uptake follows the approved application route.
2. Insect nerve receptors are affected: Thiamethoxam changes signalling at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
3. Normal feeding and movement are disturbed: The disrupted nerve signals lead to control of susceptible target insects.

Account for all Group 4A treatments in the crop programme, including earlier seed or soil treatments. Protect pollinators and follow the supplied label’s flowering restrictions.

Target Crops & Pests

The guide covers Dhanuka’s listed crops and matching Indian formulation-reference uses. Confirm each intended use on the current Areva label.

Rice nursery drenching is a separate use and is not included in the field-rice programme.

Dosage & Application Guide

The numerical rows are from an Indian government reference for Thiamethoxam 25% WG, not a current Areva leaflet. Use them only if your supplied label confirms the same crop, pest, method and restrictions. Acre figures are approximate; the original hectare rates appear alongside.

Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)

Do not exchange the tomato foliar and soil-drench rates. In the cited reference, tomato drench is applied to the root zone after transplanting, once during the crop season. No blanket drip-irrigation recipe is established.

*No separate per-litre or pump recipe is provided. Other crop programmes and rice nursery rates remain withheld. A missing value does not mean zero dose or no harvest restriction.

Reference timing: tomato foliar starts at initial pest appearance, with 2–3 repeat sprays at 10–15-day intervals depending on pest intensity; brinjal foliar gives 2–3 repeats at 15–21-day intervals. These are route-specific reference directions, not a compulsory calendar. The current label governs.

PHI is the minimum time between the last treatment and harvest, not a repeat interval or worker re-entry period. The listed potato PHI is 77 days for both routes.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Choose the exact route: Identify the crop and target. Match foliar spray or soil drench to the complete approved row.
• Check the pack label: Verify that the current Areva label supports the reference programme. Do not use the WG product as Areva Super seed dressing.
• Calibrate equipment: Measure treated area and distribute the prescribed water over it. A tank size does not define acreage.
• Apply only as directed: Follow the supplied mixing instructions and protective measures. For the cited tomato drench, placement is at the root zone after transplanting.
• Record treatment and harvest date: Record method as well as dose and date. Observe crop-specific harvest restrictions and resistance management.
