Main Functions

Thiamethoxam 25% SC is mainly used to:

• Control sucking pests
• Control selected chewing pests
• Reduce feeding damage
• Protect crop vigor during active pest pressure
• Support systemic insect control in registered crops

Its main strength is the combination of systemic movement and broad pest relevance across common agricultural crop programs.

Mode of Action

Thiamethoxam acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and is classified by IRAC as a Group 4A neonicotinoid. This mode of action affects insect nerve signaling and leads to loss of normal activity and death in susceptible pests.

Thiamethoxam 25% SC is also described as a systemic insecticide. That means the active ingredient is taken up by the plant and helps control pests through plant-associated activity rather than surface contact alone.

Target Pests

Thiamethoxam 25% SC is used for important agricultural pests such as:

• Aphids
• Whiteflies
• Thrips
• Leafhoppers
• Mealybugs
• Wireworms
• Planthoppers
• Flea beetles

These pests match the current product information and fit the product’s main use direction as a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide for broad pest programs.

Suitable Crops and Application Areas

Thiamethoxam 25% SC is suitable for registered crop programs that include:
