How It Works: Mode of Action
Thiamethoxam affects nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system.
- Nerve receptors are affected: The active ingredient acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system.
- Normal signalling is disrupted: This interferes with normal pest function.
- Placement still matters: Use only the crop-specific application route and directions on the pack.
Rotate according to the crop label and resistance-management advice. Do not assume a different brand name or a premix eliminates resistance risk.

Dosage & Application Guide
Every product rate is withheld because the public sources do not resolve its unit or area basis. The table retains useful historical water and harvest checks for the full listed crop scope; it is not a treatment recipe.
Historical Water & Harvest Checks
| Crop / use | Water reference | PHI (days) | Programme | Product rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy | 202–304 L / acre* | 14 | Crop reference | Rate withheld |
| Cotton group | See matched note | 21 | Crop reference | Rate withheld |
| Okra | 202–405 L / acre* | 5 | Crop reference | Rate withheld |
| Mango | 405 L / acre* | 30 | Crop reference | Rate withheld |
| Tomato / Cumin | 202 L / acre* | 5 | See route note | Rate withheld |
| Brinjal | 202 L / acre* | 3 | Foliar reference | Rate withheld |
| Tea | 162–202 L / acre* | 7 | Crop reference | Rate withheld |
| Potato | See route note | 77 | Two references | Rate withheld |
| Citrus | 405 L / acre* | 20 | Crop reference | Rate withheld |
| Rice nursery | 250 ml / m²* | 86 | Drench reference | Rate withheld |
Historical September 2025 water/PHI checks, not complete current Arrow directions: paddy 500–750 L/ha, PHI 14 days; cotton 500–750 L/ha, wheat 500 L/ha and mustard 500–1000 L/ha, all PHI 21 days (the “Cotton group” row). Okra 500–1000 L/ha, PHI 5; mango 1000 L/ha, PHI 30; tomato 500 L/ha, PHI 5; cumin 500 L/ha, PHI 5; brinjal 500 L/ha, PHI 3; tea 400–500 L/ha, PHI 7; citrus 1000 L/ha, PHI 20. Conversions: 400, 500, 750 and 1000 L/ha are approximately 162, 202, 304 and 405 L/acre.
Route-specific historical checks: tomato has separate foliar and soil-drench entries, each with 500 L/ha water and PHI 5 days. Potato has foliar 500 L/ha and soil-drench 400–500 L/ha, both PHI 77 days. Rice nursery has soil-drench water 250 ml/m² and PHI 86 days; do not treat this as an acre spray dilution. IIL’s public dose text omits an area basis and ambiguously groups some drench uses. All product rates and unclear brand routes therefore require the supplied Arrow label; historical method entries do not authorise an unverified brand route.
Obtain the supplied label’s complete rate, route, equipment, timing, repeat limit, compatibility, re-entry and harvest directions before treatment. No universal per-litre or tank recipe is inferred.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify crop and pest: Match both to the current Arrow label before selecting treatment.
- Check the complete programme: Use the pack’s rate, route, water and equipment instructions. A partial reference is not enough to prepare a treatment.
- Plan resistance management: Consider the IRAC groups of every active ingredient and avoid repeated sole reliance on the same modes of action.
- Protect people and water: Follow label protective-equipment, drift, re-entry and harvest precautions. Prevent spills and washings from reaching water bodies.
