How It Works: Mode of Action
Attila is a thiamethoxam insecticide acting at insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Mahindra lists crop-specific programmes, including separately identified soil-drench uses.
- Nerve-site action: Thiamethoxam acts at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
- Systemic activity: The active ingredient can move within the treated plant.
- Use-specific directions: Foliar and soil-drench programmes must not be treated as interchangeable.
Changing brand names does not necessarily change the mode of action. Follow a crop-specific resistance-management plan and all limits on repeat applications.
Target Crops & Pests
Mahindra’s Attila recommendation table names the following crop-and-target pairings.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Rice (paddy) |
|
| Cotton |
|
| Okra |
|
| Mango |
|
| Wheat / mustard |
|
| Tomato |
|
| Brinjal |
|
| Tea |
|
| Potato |
|
| Citrus |
|
| Rice nursery |
|
| Cumin |
|
Wheat and mustard each have an aphid listing. Cotton whitefly is a separate programme from cotton jassids, aphids and thrips. Tomato has a separate soil-drench whitefly programme. Potato aphids have separate foliar and soil-drench programmes. Nursery rice targets are distinct from field-rice targets.
Dosage & Application Guide
Check the current pack before measuring product. The public manufacturer table uses a combined g/ml dose header without identifying the product unit. Quantitative directions are withheld until that ambiguity is resolved.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Product rate | Water volume | Method | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Other listed crop programmes | Confirm label unit | Confirm label basis | Follow label | Not verified |
| Potato: aphids (foliar) | Confirm label unit | Confirm label basis | Foliar application | Not verified |
| Potato: aphids (soil) | Confirm label unit | Confirm label basis | Soil drench | Not verified |
| Rice nursery | Confirm label unit | 250 mL/m² | Soil drench | Not verified |
| Tomato: whitefly (soil) | Confirm label unit | Confirm label basis | Soil drench | Not verified |
The first row covers field rice, both cotton programmes, okra, mango, wheat, mustard, the main tomato whitefly row, brinjal, tea, citrus and cumin, with no claim that their rates are identical. The rice-nursery water figure is explicitly 250 mL per square metre, not a product dose. All product figures remain withheld because the g/ml unit is unresolved; no hectare-to-acre or per-tank recipe is inferred.
PHI means the interval between the last application and harvest. An unverified waiting period does not mean zero days.
Confirm crop stage, equipment, repeat interval, maximum applications, re-entry and weather restrictions. No universal per-litre or tank recipe is inferred.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the target: Check the full Attila identity, crop and target against the supplied label.
- Measure correctly: Use the label’s explicit product unit and water volume; do not substitute a hectare quantity for an acre quantity.
- Follow the approved method: Use only the preparation, equipment and application route specified on the pack. Do not assume a tank mixture is permitted.
- Protect people and water: Wear the specified protective equipment and prevent drift or runoff into water and neighbouring crops.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is in Attila?thiamethoxam 25% WG.
Is Attila the same as Atilla Gold seed treatment?No. Attila is thiamethoxam 25% WG, while Atilla Gold is a 30% FS seed-treatment product. Do not exchange their instructions.
What is the dose per acre or per litre?The public table does not identify an unambiguous product unit. Obtain the complete label directions before measuring or converting a rate.
Can every listed use be applied as a soil drench?No. Mahindra explicitly identifies soil drenching only in the separate potato, rice-nursery and tomato programmes shown here. Follow the exact crop label, not a general route assumption.
When can the crop be harvested?The current crop-specific waiting period was not verified. Confirm it on the supplied label before use.
