Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
Thiamethoxam works by interfering with the insect's nervous system. It mimics a neurotransmitter, causing over-stimulation.
- Absorption: Applied to foliage or soil, it is rapidly absorbed by the plant roots or leaves.
- Translocation: It travels through the plant's water system (xylem) to stems, leaves, and growing tips.
- Termination: When pests suck the plant sap, they ingest the chemical. This leads to paralysis and death within 24-48 hours.
Note: This systemic action ensures that even pests hiding inside curled leaves or stems are controlled.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not under-dose, as this can lead to resistance.
How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 40 - 60 g | 150 - 200 L | 0.3 g | 14 - 21 |
| Cotton | 40 - 80 g* | 200 L | 0.4 g | 21 |
| Vegetables | 40 - 80 g | 150 - 200 L | 0.3 - 0.5 g | 3 - 5 |
*Note: Use higher dosage (80g) for heavy Whitefly infestation in Cotton. PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the first sign of pest infestation (ETL levels). For best results on BPH, direct the nozzle toward the base of the plant.
- Mixing: Dissolve the granules in a small mug of water first, then add to the main tank. It disperses rapidly.
- Coverage: Use sufficient water volume (150-200 Litres/acre). Low water volume reduces systemic absorption.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not spray when bees are active.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Extra Super control Bollworms?
No, Extra Super is specialized for sucking pests (Hoppers, Whiteflies, Aphids). For Bollworms, you should use other specific insecticides.
2. Is Extra Super safe for honey bees?
Thiamethoxam is toxic to bees. Avoid spraying during peak flowering times or when bees are actively foraging. Spray in the evening to minimize impact.
3. Can I mix Extra Super with fungicides?
Yes, it is generally compatible with common fungicides like Bavistin or Propiconazole. However, always perform a small jar test before mixing large quantities.
4. How long before I can harvest my crop?
It depends on the crop. For vegetables, wait 3-5 days. For Paddy and Cotton, wait at least 14-21 days after spraying.
5. Why is the granule formulation (WG) better than powder?
WG granules are dust-free (safer for you), measure easily without spillage, and dissolve faster in water for a uniform spray.
