Thiamethoxam is a high-efficiency, broad-spectrum neonicotinoid insecticide designed to combat a wide array of sucking and chewing insect pests. As a critical tool in modern integrated pest management, it provides systemic protection for crops through foliar application, soil treatment, or seed coating, ensuring robust plant health and maximized agricultural yields.
Engineered for versatility, Thiamethoxam is widely utilized across various row and vegetable crops, including corn, soybeans, snap beans, and potatoes. Beyond field crops, its efficacy extends to livestock pens, poultry houses, and professional landscaping such as golf courses and tree nurseries, making it an indispensable asset for professional growers and chemical distributors worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Thiamethoxam acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect's nervous system, disrupting nerve function and causing the insects to stop feeding and eventually die within 24-48 hours.
It is hydrolytically stable at pH 5 with a half-life of 200-300 days, but becomes significantly more labile at pH 9, where the half-life is reduced to a few days.
It is highly effective for row and vegetable crops such as corn, soybeans, snap beans, and potatoes, as well as for use in tree nurseries and lawns.
We provide various formulations including 95% TC, 75% DF, 25% WDG, 25% WP, 10% WDG, and specialized FS flowable concentrates for seed treatment.
Yes, Thiamethoxam is rapidly photodegraded when exposed to light, typically having a half-life of approximately 1 hour.
For optimal stability, it should be stored in an inert atmosphere at temperatures between 2-8°C.
