Thiamethoxam 30% FS is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide that belongs to the neonicotinoid group of insecticides. It is a neurotoxin that targets the nervous system of insects, disrupting the normal functioning of their nerve cells.
Mode of action:
Thiamethoxam binds to specific receptors in the nervous system of insects, known as nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). This binding disrupts the normal communication between nerve cells, leading to paralysis and ultimately death.
Benefits:

Systemic insecticide that moves throughout the plant, providing long-lasting protection.
Can be applied as a foliar spray or as a seed treatment.
Provides fast-acting control of insect pests, reducing crop damage and yield losses.
