Product details
Maxima Insecticide by PI Industries
Maxima contains thiamethoxam 25% WG. Maxima is a systemic insecticide. Thiamethoxam acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system.
Composition: thiamethoxam 25% WG.
Crop fit: Use only for the crop and target pairings below.
Check the route: Potato foliar spray and soil drench are separate programmes.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🍃Systemic action: The active ingredient moves within treated plants.
-
🌾Named rice pests: Rice has a specific seven-pest pairing, not an unrestricted insect claim.
-
🌿Sucking-pest scope: Includes crop-specific aphid, whitefly and hopper programmes.
-
💧Dispersible granules: WG product is measured by mass and prepared under the label directions.
-
🔄Resistance planning: IRAC 4A identifies its mode-of-action group.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Maxima is a systemic insecticide. Thiamethoxam acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system.
-
Plant distribution: The manufacturer describes systemic and translaminar activity.
-
Nerve signalling: Thiamethoxam interferes with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
-
Pest effects: Disrupted nerve function leads to loss of normal movement and pest death.
Use a crop-specific resistance-management plan. Changing brands does not necessarily change the mode of action.

Dosage & Application Guide
The following are first-treatment foliar programmes only, applied on an economic-threshold basis to the listed crop and pest with PI’s foliar water guidance below. Malformed-unit programmes and the incomplete potato soil-drench programme are withheld in full. Grouped rows preserve separate harvest intervals in the same crop order.

Rice/okra means all their listed pests, with PHIs 14/5 days; mango/tea means hoppers/tea mosquito bug, with PHIs 30/7. *Cotton at 200 g/ha applies only to whitefly; tomato is also whitefly, with PHIs 21/5. Cotton jassids, aphids and thrips have an unclear public-page unit, and the brinjal rate is malformed. Their complete numerical programmes, including harvest intervals, are withheld pending the supplied pack. Brinjal targets remain whitefly and jassids.
PI specifies 150–200 L of water per acre for the foliar spraying programmes above. This does not establish soil-drench water volume. Potato foliar spray and soil drench are distinct routes, not additive treatments. The complete numerical potato soil-drench programme is withheld until its dilution, placement, timing and harvest interval are confirmed together on the supplied pack. Product conversions: 50 g/ha ≈ 20.2 g/acre; 100 g/ha ≈ 40.5 g/acre; 200 g/ha ≈ 80.9 g/acre.
Use only the complete current label programme. The table does not clear a repeat-treatment programme: repeat interval, maximum applications and re-entry requirements must be confirmed on the supplied pack. No general per-litre recipe, seed-treatment route, residue-free claim, beneficial-insect safety claim or automatic tank mixture is established here. Do not spray during active pollinator foraging.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm the pest threshold: PI advises treatment on an economic-threshold basis. Identify the crop and pest before selecting the paired rate.
-
Resolve unclear units: Do not measure WG granules in millilitres. Confirm cotton jassid/aphid/thrips and brinjal rates from the actual pack before use.
-
Separate spray and drench: Use the foliar water guidance only for spraying. Obtain complete label dilution, timing and placement before potato soil drenching.
-
Protect people and water: Wear the specified protective equipment and prevent drift or runoff into water or neighbouring crops.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Maxima contain?
thiamethoxam 25% WG.
Why are two rate entries withheld?
PI’s cotton jassid/aphid/thrips entry uses ml for a WG product, and its brinjal entry is malformed. The correct mass rates cannot be assumed from retailer pages.
Is Maxima residue-free or harmless to beneficial insects?
Do not assume either. Follow the label’s harvest interval and environmental safeguards, and avoid active pollinator foraging.
Can I add the potato foliar and drench rates together?
No. PI lists different application routes. Follow the single complete programme supported by your current label; foliar water volume is not drench guidance.
Are all harvest intervals the same?
No. Each verified foliar programme has its own harvest interval. Grouped table rows show intervals in the same order as the named crops. Harvest intervals for the held programmes are not presented as isolated directions.
