Application route: Crop-specific foliar spray or soil drench; the routes use different programmes.
This pack: 1 kg. Match the formulation, crop and pest on the supplied label before use.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

🎯 Crop-specific pest control: Targets labelled insects on crops such as cotton, rice, brinjal, mango and wheat.
-
🌿 Systemic activity: Thiamethoxam is a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide.
-
🔬 Contact and stomach action: Susceptible insects encounter the active ingredient through contact or feeding.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Thiamethoxam belongs to IRAC Group 4A, the neonicotinoid subgroup of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor competitive modulators. Its classification describes how it acts on insects; it does not make different formulations or uses interchangeable.
-
Systemic activity: The active ingredient moves within the plant after uptake. Use only the foliar or root-zone route specified for the crop and pest.
-
Nerve-signal disruption: Thiamethoxam interferes with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor signalling in susceptible insects.
-
Resistance planning: Both Cruzer 25% WG and Cruzer Plus 30% FS contain a Group 4A insecticide. Changing between them is not a change of mode-of-action group. Plan label-approved rotations with qualified crop advice.

Repeat sprays are conditional on pest intensity, not an automatic calendar schedule. Keep the full PHI after the final treatment. Days after sowing and days after transplanting are different timing references; the rice entries describe the early and booting-stage uses, not unlimited repeat spraying.
For other labelled uses, follow the complete crop-specific directions supplied with the pack. Do not transfer a foliar rate to potato root-zone or rice-nursery treatment. Do not derive a per-litre or pump dose from the pack size, or treat the PHI as a guaranteed duration of pest control.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Select one complete programme: Match the crop, pest and application route. Measure the treatment area and observe the stated water volume, timing, repeat limits and PHI.
-
Prepare the mixture carefully: Mix the measured granules with a small quantity of water, then add the remaining prescribed water while stirring thoroughly. Do not mix with bare hands.
-
Calibrate suitable equipment: Use the label-specified knapsack, foot, compression, battery-operated or power sprayer for foliar treatment. Maintain coverage without exposing people, animals or nearby crops to drift.
-
Separate spraying from drenching: For the tomato drench programme, treat the root zone before pest appearance, once during the crop season. Do not apply a foliar programme as a drench or use this WG as the Cruzer Plus FS seed treatment.
-
Control exposure and drift: Wear protective clothing, gloves, boots, eye protection and label-specified respiratory protection. Do not breathe dust or spray mist, spray into the wind or allow contaminated washings into water.
-
Check any proposed mixture: Do not assume universal compatibility. Use mixtures only when the relevant labels and product-specific advice permit them. A jar test alone does not establish crop safety or approval.
-
Protect non-target organisms: Prevent exposure of pollinators and aquatic life. Keep product, drift, spills and washings away from water bodies, drains, food and animal feed.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are Cruzer and Cruzer Plus interchangeable?
No. Cruzer is thiamethoxam 25% WG; Cruzer Plus is thiamethoxam 30% FS for seed treatment. Sharing an active ingredient does not make their application routes or rates interchangeable.

2. Is the 1 kg pack a standard dose?
No. The required amount depends on the crop, target pest, application route and measured treatment area. Do not use pack size to estimate a pump concentration.

3. Why does cotton have two product rates?
The leaflet gives one foliar programme for jassids and aphids and another for whiteflies. Choose the programme for the actual target; do not use one universal cotton dose.

4. Is the harvest interval the same as the duration of protection?
No. PHI is the minimum period from the final application to harvest. It is not a guarantee of how long pest control lasts, a repeat-spray interval or a worker re-entry interval.

5. Can a spray rate be used for root-zone or nursery treatment?
No. Drench and nursery uses have their own directions. Use only a complete route-specific programme and never transfer a foliar rate, water volume or timing to another route.
