Thiamethoxam Technical (CAS NO:153719-23-4)

Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid insecticide used for crop protection to control pests like aphids, whiteflies, and root weevils. It is applied to a variety of crops such as corn, soybeans, and cotton to protect them from insect damage.

Thiamethoxam is absorbed by plants and transported throughout their tissues. It works by interfering with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system, leading to paralysis and death, which ultimately protects the plant.

While Thiamethoxam is effective against pests, it poses significant risks to non-target species like bees and other pollinators. It is important to follow proper safety precautions when handling the insecticide, and its use is restricted in some regions due to environmental concerns.

Thiamethoxam provides long-lasting protection, typically for several weeks to months, depending on the application method, environmental conditions, and pest species. It ensures that crops are protected early in the growing season from damaging pests.
