Product details
Theo Super Seed-Treatment Insecticide by Crystal Crop Protection
Thiamethoxam 30% FS
What it controls: Listed seed-treatment pests, including sucking pests, shoot flies and termites in their specified crops.
When to use it: Before sowing, within the seed-treatment timing and procedure authorised by the current pack.
What to include: The weighed seed lot, confirmed crop-specific product and water quantities, and protective equipment.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌱Seed-treatment option: Designed for listed early-season pest uses through treatment of seed, not an assumed foliar spray.
- 🌿Systemic action: Thiamethoxam moves within the developing plant following the authorised treatment.
- 🦟Sucking-pest uses: Listed targets include aphids, jassids, whiteflies and thrips in their specified crops.
- 🌾Wheat termite use: The manufacturer lists termites specifically in wheat; this is not a general termite claim for every crop.
- 🌽Shoot-fly uses: Separate shoot-fly recommendations are listed for maize and sorghum; their quantities must not be assumed identical.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Thiamethoxam is an IRAC Group 4A insecticide. It disrupts a specific receptor involved in insect nerve signalling.
- The seed is treated as directed: Correct seed-weight rates and the authorised preparation method are essential.
- Systemic uptake exposes susceptible pests: The active ingredient can move into the developing plant, where feeding pests encounter it.
- Insect nerve function is disrupted: Affected pests cannot maintain normal nerve activity. No fixed speed or duration of protection is promised.
Use an appropriate resistance-management programme. Changing brand names without changing the mode-of-action group is not a rotation.

No acre or tank dose applies to this seed-weight table. The same numeral with a different denominator is a different instruction.
*Wheat, sorghum, rice, okra and sunflower require confirmed current-pack product and water quantities. Cotton and maize references also require current-pack confirmation of the complete method, seed condition and timing.
The generic cotton reference also lists thrips; thrips is not added to Theo Super’s current manufacturer cotton scope here. Maize numbers are for shoot fly, not the different maize aphid rate.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check the seed and target: Use only the authorised crop and target combination. Confirm whether the seed is already treated before adding another treatment.
- Weigh the seed lot: Base the quantity on the seed weight specified by the current pack, not the field area, pack size or an assumed sowing rate.
- Confirm the complete method: Check the product quantity, water requirement, mixing sequence, equipment, seed condition and permitted time between treatment and sowing before work.
- Check combinations: Do not add a fungicide, insecticide or other seed-treatment partner unless the relevant labels permit the combination and sequence.
- Handle treated seed separately: Clearly identify treated seed and keep it away from food, feed, children, animals and birds. Follow the label’s storage, sowing and spill-disposal precautions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Theo Super a seed treatment?Yes. These uses are for the thiamethoxam 30% FS seed-treatment formulation. Do not use a foliar-spray or acre recipe in its place.
Can I use the displayed maize rate for every crop?No. The 8 ml/kg seed reference is for maize shoot fly. Other crops and pests require their own confirmed pack directions.
What does GLH mean in the rice use?It means green leafhopper. The manufacturer’s rice list includes thrips, green leafhopper and whorl maggot.
Does the cotton reference add thrips to this product’s cotton claim?No. Cotton’s current manufacturer list here is aphids, jassids and whiteflies. Do not extend it using a broader generic formulation entry.
Can treated seed be used for food or animal feed?No. Keep treated seed clearly identified and separate from food, feed and seed intended for other uses. Follow the pack’s handling, sowing and disposal precautions.
