Product details
Jonga Insecticide by Parijat
Thiamethoxam 25% WG for crop-specific sucking pests and listed rice pests.
Product role: Systemic insecticide with contact and feeding activity against the
listed crop-specific pests.
Foliar timing: Begin the first leaf spray at initial pest
appearance.
Soil-drench timing: For the directed tomato and potato uses, treat the root zone
before pest appearance, once during the crop season.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌿 Systemic uptake: Taken up by the plant and
moved upwards through the xylem, supporting its role against listed feeding pests.
-
🍃 Across-leaf activity: Translaminar
movement carries the treatment through leaf tissue while correct crop coverage remains important.
-
🛡️ Contact and feeding action: Provides both
contact exposure and action through feeding, without treating these as different resistance groups.
-
🌱 Route-specific crop options: Includes
foliage uses and separate root-zone drench directions for tomato and potato, allowing the correct placement to be chosen for the crop
programme.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Plant movement and pest exposure: Systemic uptake and translaminar movement help distribute the active ingredient in treated plant
tissue. Susceptible pests encounter it through contact or feeding.
-
Nerve receptors affected: Thiamethoxam acts at insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, disrupting normal nerve-message
transmission. This is the Group 4A competitive-modulator mechanism.
-
Feeding and movement disrupted: The nerve disturbance affects feeding and movement and can progress to paralysis and death in
susceptible insects. It does not establish a guaranteed control speed or duration.
Systemic movement does not make every application route interchangeable. For resistance management, compare
active ingredients and IRAC groups rather than brand names; another neonicotinoid may still be Group 4A.

programme, and distinguish potato foliar treatment from its soil drench.
Dosage & Application Guide
Foliar & Root-zone Treatment Planning
For foliar use, begin at initial pest appearance and apply with suitable spraying equipment for full crop
coverage. The tomato whitefly and potato aphid soil-drench uses are separate: apply in the root zone before pest appearance, once
during the crop season. Set the product quantity, water, crop-specific route and harvest restriction from the supplied Jonga label
before mixing.
Measure the required granules and mix thoroughly in a small quantity of water, then add the remaining required
water with agitation. WG granules are prepared in water, not broadcast dry. Do not transfer the soil-drench quantity to foliage or
substitute a foliar quantity for a root-zone treatment.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Match the crop and pest: Use the crop-target table and identify the actual pest, including whiteflies versus jassids or aphids
where the crop directions differ.
-
Choose the correct route: Keep leaf spraying separate from the specifically directed tomato and potato root-zone drenches.
-
Start at the appropriate stage: Use initial pest appearance for the first foliar spray. Soil drenching starts before pest
appearance and is limited to once during the crop season under these directions.
-
Measure and prepare carefully: Use the label’s paired product and water quantities for the treated area. Premix the measured WG
granules in water and add the remainder with thorough agitation.
-
Cover or place the treatment correctly: Provide full crop coverage for foliar uses; place a soil drench in the root zone. Choose
the correct spray nozzle and work with the wind so spray travels away from the operator, without spraying in strong wind. Do not spray in
foggy conditions.
-
Plan harvest and further treatment: Leave the crop-specific harvest interval and follow the supplied directions before repeating a
leaf spray or adding a tank partner. Consider Group 4A in the wider pest programme.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Jonga used the same way on every crop?
No. The tomato whitefly use is a root-zone soil drench. Potato aphids have separate foliar and soil-drench
uses, while other listed foliage programmes need their own crop directions. A systemic product still requires correct placement.
2. When should the first application be made?
Begin foliar treatment at initial pest appearance. For the separately directed tomato and potato soil
drenches, treat the root zone before pest appearance, once during the crop season.
3. Can I use the cotton whitefly directions for jassids or aphids?
Do not interchange them. Cotton whiteflies are a separate programme from cotton jassids and aphids. Keep
each target with the supplied label’s product and water quantities.
4. Can I broadcast the WG granules dry or use a standard pump recipe?
No. The granules are mixed into water. Measure the treated area and use the crop-specific product and water
quantities; tank capacity alone does not establish field coverage or a correct dose.
5. Does systemic activity mean no residues or no harvest wait?
No. Plant movement is an activity characteristic, not a safety or residue guarantee. Observe the current
crop-specific harvest interval, re-entry restrictions and all other pack precautions.
Safety & Disclaimer
