Thiamethoxam 25 Wg Insecticide

About Thiamethoxam 25 Wg Insecticide

Thiamethoxam 25 WG is a broad-spectrum, systemic insecticide used in agriculture to control a wide range of sucking and chewing insect pests. It is a water-dispersible granule (WG) formulation containing 25% Thiamethoxam as the active ingredient. Key Features and Mode of Action

• Systemic Action: Thiamethoxam is absorbed quickly by plants and transported to all their parts, including new growth, providing comprehensive and long-lasting protection from within.
• Contact and Stomach Action: It works through both contact (direct exposure) and stomach action (ingestion by the insect).
• Neonicotinoid Class: It belongs to the neonicotinoid group of insecticides, which disrupt the nervous system of insects, leading to their paralysis and death.
• Translaminar Activity: It has good translaminar action, meaning it penetrates the leaf tissues to control hidden pests on the underside of leaves.
