Thiamethoxam formulations (25% WDG, 350g/L FS) are insecticides containing thiamethoxam as the active ingredient. Here is their product introduction:
• Active Ingredient: Thiamethoxam (25% in WDG; 350g/L in FS), a neonicotinoid with systemic, contact, and stomach actions, effective against sucking and chewing pests.
• Mechanism of Action: Binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in insects, disrupting nerve transmission, leading to paralysis and death. Systemic uptake by plants ensures protection of new growth.
• Product Features: Broad-spectrum activity against aphids, whiteflies, thrips, leafhoppers, and soil pests. WDG dissolves easily in water, suitable for foliar spraying; FS adheres to seeds, forming a protective film for early-season protection. Both offer long residual efficacy (up to 2-4 weeks) and are compatible with integrated pest management (IPM).
• Target Pests: Controls sucking pests (aphids, whiteflies) and soil-dwelling pests (wireworms, grubs), as well as beetles and caterpillars.
• Applicable Crops: Suitable for cereals (wheat, corn), rice, vegetables (tomatoes, peppers), fruits (apples, citrus), cotton, and oilseeds.
• Application Methods:
- WDG: Foliar spraying. Dilute with water as per instructions, ensuring thorough coverage.
- FS: Seed coating. Apply directly to seeds before sowing for uniform coverage, protecting during germination and seedling stages.
