It is known for its systemic action and long-lasting control over pests, ensuring healthier and more productive crops.

Active Ingredients :

1. Thiamethoxam: 25%

2. Other inert ingredients: 75%

How to Use :

• Mix the required quantity of Thiamethoxam 25% WG with the recommended amount of water as per the instructions.
• Apply the mixture uniformly on the crop foliage, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the plant.
• Follow the recommended application rates and safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
• Wear appropriate protective gear during the handling and application of the product.
• Avoid contact with the product and ensure safe storage away from the reach of children and animals.

Features of the Product :

• AGRITARA functions as a broad-spectrum insecticide.
• Classified as a systemic insecticide, AGRITARA combines contact and stomach action.
• It falls within the neonicotinoids class of insecticides.
• AGRITARA is a novel solution designed to combat various sucking insect pests across multiple crops.
• Particularly effective against sucking pests that have developed resistance to conventional insecticides.
• Exhibits notable translaminar action.
• Its translaminar and systemic properties facilitate absorption and translocation throughout the entire plant, effectively controlling hidden insects.
• Offers both quick and long-lasting control.
• Boasts excellent rain fastness properties.
• Rapid uptake into plants with acropetal movement through the xylem.
• Virtually compatible with other insecticides.
• Leaves no residue, ensuring target specificity and environmental acceptance.
• Relatively safe for beneficial insects.
• Suitable for Integrated Pest Management strategies.
• Acts as a preventive measure against the spread of diseases, such as leaf curl in cotton, by controlling insect vectors.

Method of Operation :

• AGRITARA is classified within the neonicotinoid insecticide group, targeting the central nervous system of insects.
• Upon contact or ingestion of AGRITARA, insects immediately cease feeding.
• Affected sucking insects are deterred from re-penetrating plant tissues.
• AGRITARA disrupts the postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system.
• Irreversible blockage of postsynaptic (nAChRs) induces hyperexcitation of the nerves.
• Hyperexcitation leads to convulsions and eventual paralysis in insects.
• The cumulative effect results in the death of the insects.

How & When to Apply :

• AGRITARA is suitable for both foliar spray and soil drench applications.
• For foliar spray:
• 1. Initiate the first spray upon the initial appearance of pests.
• 2. Repeat 2-3 sprays at intervals of 10-15 days, adjusting frequency based on the level of pest intensity.
• For soil drench:
• 1. Apply around the root zone before the onset of pest presence, conducting a single soil drench during the crop season.
• 2. To mitigate resistance issues in the long term, it is recommended to alternate AGRITARA with other groups of insecticides.

Safety Guidelines & Remedy :

• Avoid spraying during foggy weather conditions.
• Wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves, aprons, masks, etc.
• Select the correct nozzle for the spray application.
• Spray in the direction of the wind to optimize effectiveness.
• Refrain from smoking, drinking, eating, or chewing during the spraying process.
• Prevent contact with the mouth, eyes, and skin.
• Steer clear of inhaling the spray mist, fog, and vapors.
• Thoroughly bathe after completing the application.
• In the absence of a specific antidote, treat any symptoms that may arise symptomatically.
