Tegata - Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.5% + Thiamethoxam 12.6% ZC - Parijat

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

• 🧪  Two ingredients in one premix: Lambda-cyhalothrin and thiamethoxam provide distinct nerve-action components without separately measuring two insecticide products.
  
• 🎯  Crop-specific mixed-pest scope: The listed uses cover selected sucking pests, caterpillars and borers, with each target kept against its own crop.
  
• 🌿  Plant uptake plus surface exposure: Systemic, contact and ingestion activity contribute to exposure of susceptible pests; even foliage coverage remains important.
  
• 💧  Combined ZC formulation: Capsule-suspension and suspension-concentrate components are brought together in one formulation, rather than an interchangeable EC or seed-treatment product.
  

Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action

1. Contact, feeding and uptake expose the pest: The foliar treatment acts through insect contact and ingestion, with systemic uptake and upward movement in the plant’s xylem contributing to exposure.
   
2. Lambda-cyhalothrin affects sodium channels: The Group 3A component disturbs the opening and closing of nerve-cell sodium channels, causing prolonged excitation and loss of coordinated insect activity.
   
3. Thiamethoxam acts at nerve receptors: The Group 4A component acts at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, disrupting normal nerve signalling. The two ingredients act at different sites in susceptible insects.
   

Both Groups 3A and 4A count in resistance planning. A premix is not resistance-proof, and changing the brand alone may not change the action groups. No fixed knockdown time, rainfast interval, virus prevention or yield guarantee is implied.

Target Crops & Pests

Match both the crop and pest before treatment. Common names such as fruit borer, bollworm and semilooper do not establish control of every species bearing that name, and a pest listed on one crop is not automatically included on another.

Dosage & Application Guide

First-Spray Timing, Water Coverage & Repeat Decisions

Use foliar spraying. For sown crops, the first-treatment stage is 30–40 days after sowing, or when the listed insects begin appearing at the economic threshold level. For tea, use the infestation trigger rather than applying a sowing calendar. The crop rows use 500 L spray water/ha, approximately 202.34 L/acre, for uniform coverage. Where another treatment is required and permitted, the stated second-spray spacing is 10–15 days after the first.

These water and timing instructions are not a complete spray recipe. Establish the exact product amount, crop-specific harvest restriction, maximum applications and re-entry requirements before preparing a tank. Scout again before a repeat treatment; the spacing is not an instruction to spray automatically or a harvest waiting period.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Confirm the crop and active pest: Scout for the listed insects and their relevant stages. Use local crop advice to establish the economic threshold rather than treating all visible insects or old damage as a reason to spray.
  
• Complete the application plan: Keep the crop, target, product quantity, water, first timing and harvest restriction together. Do not copy the rate of a different lambda-cyhalothrin or thiamethoxam product.
  
• Prepare suitable equipment: Use a clean, leak-free, calibrated knapsack sprayer. Check nozzle output and distribution for the measured area before handling the concentrate.
  
• Mix with continuous agitation: Measure the confirmed product quantity with a dedicated measure, add it to a bucket half filled with water and agitate. Add the remaining recommended water with continuous agitation. Do not mix with bare hands.
  
• Cover the foliage evenly: Apply uniformly, avoiding gaps, excessive overlap and drift beyond the crop. Systemic uptake does not compensate for missed rows or poor spray placement.
  
• Keep mixtures and repeats specific: Use any proposed pesticide, adjuvant or fertiliser addition only when both current product labels permit that combination for the crop. Review pest pressure before any repeat and follow treatment limits and the resistance plan.
  
• Keep application records: Record crop, pest, treatment date and amount. Keep harvest waiting, worker re-entry and repeat-spray intervals separate when planning later work.
