How It Works: Mode of Action
Thiamethoxam acts on receptors that carry nerve signals in susceptible insects. Nichino describes Crux as systemic, meaning it can move within the treated plant.
-
The plant takes up the treatment: The manufacturer describes movement within the plant.
-
Insect nerve signals are disrupted: The active ingredient acts at a specific nerve receptor.
-
Use the correct method and rate: A leaf treatment and a soil drench are separate recommendations, not interchangeable quantities.
Rotate treatment approaches as the crop programme allows. A mode-of-action group is not a promise that resistance cannot develop.

Dosage & Application Guide
Numerical programmes are withheld because complete matching carrier water, crop-specific treatment conditions and harvest requirements are not established here. Verify each crop–target–method programme, including quantity, placement, equipment, access and repeat limits, together on the supplied pack before use.
Complete Programme Verification
Keep the manufacturer’s distinct programmes separate: main-field rice pests; cotton jassids/aphids/thrips; cotton whiteflies; okra’s listed pests; mango hoppers; wheat aphids; mustard aphids; tomato whiteflies; brinjal whiteflies; tea mosquito bug; potato aphids by leaf spray; potato aphids by soil drench; citrus psylla; rice-nursery pests by soil drench; tomato whiteflies by soil drench; and cumin aphids. Only the explicitly named routes are established; do not infer a foliar route for the remaining uses or transfer a drench programme to a leaf treatment.
*Aphid crops means wheat, mustard and cumin, each with its own programme. Vegetables means tomato and brinjal for whiteflies only. Rice nursery is a separate soil-drench use, not the main-field programme. Confirm each crop- and method-specific harvest waiting period on the current label; missing values do not mean zero waiting time.
Confirm crop stage, application method, water, mixing sequence, harvest and re-entry intervals before treatment. No unsupported tank dose, repeat interval, maximum number of applications, rainfast time or tank mixture is recommended.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Check the crop and target: Read the supplied label and confirm the exact formulation and permitted use.
-
Use the matching directions: The manufacturer explicitly lists potato leaf spray and soil drench, rice-nursery soil drench and tomato soil drench. Confirm the application route for all remaining crop rows on the supplied pack.
-
Measure before mixing: Keep product quantity separate from water volume. Follow the pack instructions; do not invent a per-litre or tank rate.
-
Record and protect: Record the date and treated area. Observe the label’s harvest and re-entry intervals and protect nearby people, animals and water.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Crux contain?
Thiamethoxam 25% WG.
Which crops and targets are listed?
Use the complete paired table above; a target listed for one crop is not an all-crop recommendation.
Is the product dose the water volume?
No. Measure the product separately and confirm the required water volume and method on the supplied pack.
Can I use one tank dose for every crop?
No. A tank dose needs the correct crop rate, application method, water volume and calibrated equipment.
How long should I wait before harvest?
Follow the crop-specific waiting period on the supplied label. A missing value here does not mean zero days.
