Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid insecticide that binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in the insect central nervous system. This causes continuous nerve excitation, leading to paralysis and death of the target pest. As a systemic compound, it is absorbed and translocated within the plant, providing protection against a broad range of sap-sucking and boring pests. Thiamethoxam is classified under IRAC Group 4A (nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists).
Maxxion (Thiamethoxam 25% WG) is mixed with the recommended volume of water and applied as a foliar spray in rice, using standard knapsack or boom sprayers, following the approved product label.
