Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

How It Works: Mode of Action
Extra Super contains thiamethoxam, an IRAC Group 4A insecticide that acts on insect nerve signalling.
- The plant takes up the active ingredient: Systemic movement carries it within treated tissue.
- Target insects are exposed: Susceptible insects encounter the active ingredient as they feed on treated plant tissue.
- Nerve control is disrupted: Affected insects lose normal movement and die.
Do not rely repeatedly on Group 4A products against successive pest generations. Combine scouting and other suitable controls with an approved resistance-management plan. Systemic action is not a guarantee of a fixed protection period.

Dosage & Application Guide
The table preserves Crystal’s brand rates. The separate formulation references below distinguish cotton whitefly from the other cotton pests. They are not complete Extra Super instructions: the supplied pack must confirm the application route, timing and matching quantities before treatment.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (rice) | 40 | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Cotton | 40–80 | See note* | See note* | See note* |
Thiamethoxam 25% WG formulation reference only: for the listed paddy pests, 100 g product/ha with 500–750 L water/ha and a 14-day harvest interval. Approximately 40.5 g product with 202.3–303.5 L water per acre.
For cotton aphids, jassids and thrips, the formulation reference is 100 g/ha with 500–750 L water/ha and a 21-day harvest interval, approximately 40.5 g product with 202.3–303.5 L water per acre.
Cotton whitefly has a different formulation reference: 200 g/ha with 500–750 L water/ha and a 21-day harvest interval, approximately 80.9 g product with 202.3–303.5 L water per acre. Do not replace this distinction with a single dose for all cotton pests.
* Brand-specific water, per-litre dose, harvest interval, route, crop stage, repeat interval and re-entry period are not supplied here. Use the qualified formulation records only when the whole programme matches the current Extra Super label. No per-pump quantity is established.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check crop and pest: Separate paddy use from cotton use and identify whether the cotton target is whitefly or another listed sucking pest.
- Use the current pack programme: Confirm the application route, treatment timing, water volume and repeat limits before mixing. Do not substitute a seed-treatment or soil-drench programme for another formulation.
- Keep quantities together: Use the dose and water for the same crop–pest record. The formulation references are not an instruction to round up the brand rate.
- Protect beneficial insects: Prevent spray drift onto flowering vegetation, pollinators and non-target areas. Follow all bee and aquatic-life warnings on the supplied pack.
- Avoid unapproved additions: Do not add a sticker, spreader, fertilizer or another pesticide unless the supplied directions support the mixture.
