Thiamethoxam 75% SG
Thiamethoxam 75% SG is a trusted, broad-spectrum systemic insecticide used by farmers across India for protecting crops like groundnut, sugarcane, rice, and cotton. Its water-soluble granule formulation makes it easy to mix, measure, and apply, while its systemic action ensures the whole plant stays protected, not just the part where it is sprayed.
How Thiamethoxam 75% SG Works
Once applied, Thiamethoxam is absorbed efficiently by both the roots and the foliage of the plant, allowing it to move throughout the plant system and provide comprehensive protection. It works on the nervous system of insects, causing them to stop feeding almost immediately and become inactive, eventually leading to their death. Because it is taken up through the roots as well, soil application can give the plant protection starting right from the early growth stage.
Why Farmers Choose This Insecticide
One of the biggest advantages of Thiamethoxam 75% SG is its versatility — it can be applied as a foliar spray for above-ground pests or as a soil drench for root uptake and protection against soil-dwelling pests like termites. This flexibility makes it a valuable tool for farmers facing different types of pest pressure across the cropping season.
In rice, this insecticide is especially useful for controlling green leafhopper and brown plant hopper, two of the most damaging pests that can cause severe yield loss through direct feeding and disease transmission. In groundnut and sugarcane, it provides reliable protection against termites and early shoot borer, helping young plants establish strong roots and healthy growth from the start. Many farmers also notice improved plant vigour and longer-lasting systemic control, which contributes to higher yield and better crop quality at harvest.
