Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
Maxima works on the insect's central nervous system to provide quick results. [Image of Thiamethoxam mode of action diagram]
- Absorption: Upon spraying, the granules dissolve and are rapidly absorbed by the plant's leaves or roots.
- Targeting: The chemical binds irreversibly to the insect's nerve receptors, causing over-stimulation.
- Elimination: The pest becomes paralyzed, stops feeding immediately, and dies within 24-48 hours.
Note: Because feeding stops immediately, Maxima is excellent for preventing insects from spreading viral diseases.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 40 g | 200 L | 0.2 g | 14 |
| Cotton | 40 - 80 g | 200 L | 0.2 - 0.4 g | 21 |
| Vegetables | 40 - 80 g | 200 L | 0.2 - 0.4 g | 3 - 5 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note: Doses are in grams (g) as Maxima is a solid granule.
Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the first sign of pest incidence (Economic Threshold Level) for best results.
- Mixing: Dissolve the granules in a small quantity of water first, then add to the main tank. Perform a jar test if mixing with fungicides.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage. For rice, spray towards the base of the plant (culm) for BPH control.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not spray during active bee foraging hours.
