Features
Neurotoxin: Thiamethoxam is a new generation neonicotinoid neurotoxin. It primarily targets the central nervous system of pests, stimulating acetylcholinesterase receptor proteins. The mimicked acetylcholine is not degraded by acetylcholinesterase, keeping insects in a state of heightened excitation until death.
Good systemic activity: Thiamethoxam has contact and stomach poison effects, along with strong systemic translocation activity.
High activity: Its insecticidal activity is over eight times greater than that of imidacloprid.
Broad insecticidal spectrum: It controls aphids, whiteflies, rice planthoppers, leafhoppers, and scale insects from the Hemiptera order. It also targets thrips from the Thysanoptera order, leaf miners and root maggots from the Diptera order, and beetles like cucumber beetles and flea beetles from the Coleoptera order. Additionally, it controls pests like sugarcane borers, codling moths, and corn borers from the Lepidoptera order, as well as underground pests like grubs, nematodes, and wireworms. It is the preferred agent to replace organophosphates and carbamate insecticides.
Long residual activity: Thiamethoxam metabolizes slowly in plants and soil, providing a longer duration of effectiveness. Foliar sprays can last for 3-4 weeks, while soil treatments can last over 3 months.
Good water solubility: Thiamethoxam is more than eight times more soluble in water than imidacloprid. Thus, even under dry conditions, it maintains good insecticidal activity in soil treatments.
Low resistance levels: Since its introduction, the development of pest resistance to thiamethoxam has been slow. It remains highly active against pests at very low doses.
Growth stimulation: Thiamethoxam activates plant stress-resistance proteins, enhancing crop resilience and promoting growth.
Slightly slower action: Although thiamethoxam has many advantages, its speed of action is slightly slower. Therefore, it is crucial to apply it early during pest outbreaks.

Application
Foliar spray: During the initial peak of aphid damage on citrus, dilute 25% thiamethoxam water-dispersible granules at a rate of 8000-12000 times and apply as a foliar spray. Prepare the solution fresh for immediate use, and reapply if it rains within 6 hours of application.
Seed treatment: Thiamethoxam can be used for treating seeds of crops like rice, wheat, and corn. Before planting, mix 240-700 ml of 30% thiamethoxam suspension seed coating agent with 100 kg of seeds, ensuring the solution adheres evenly to the seed surface. This effectively prevents rice planthoppers, corn aphids, and gray planthoppers.
Broadcast application: For controlling rice planthoppers, apply 3% thiamethoxam granules during the peak hatching period of planthopper eggs. Broadcast 200-300 grams per acre, with a maximum of 2 applications per season on rice, maintaining a safe interval of 28 days.
Root irrigation: At the early onset of leek thrips and leek maggots, use 25% thiamethoxam water-dispersible granules for root irrigation. Apply 180-240 grams per acre to effectively manage leek maggot outbreaks. Use this treatment once per season for leek crops, with a safe interval of 14 days.
Hole application: When transplanting tomato seedlings, apply 500-600 grams per acre of 5% thiamethoxam granules mixed with 10-15 kg of well-rotted organic fertilizer. This method effectively prevents underground pests like grubs, wireworms, and cutworms, as well as above-ground pests such as aphids and whiteflies during the seedling stage.
