ACTARA is a robust insecticide which is fast acting and therefore rapidly taken up by the plants, in any situation. ACTARA belongs to a new chemical class neonicotinoids, used for the control of Aphids, Whitefly & Jassids (sucking pests)
- Highly effective at a low rate and used against a broad spectrum of insects hence low application costs.
- Improves root vigour
- Rapid uptake, fast acting and longer residual control leading to fewer applications per season and cost savings.
- Quick action on pests.
- Protects the plants against viral diseases.
- Can be used as a foliar spray, drench or drip irrigation
Active Ingredient
250 g/Kg Thiamethoxam
Forumulation
Wettable Granules (WG)

III
Mode of Action
Neonicotinoids act on a specific protein in the brain of pest insects (the nicotinic acetylcholin receptor), thus inhibiting their feeding reflex.
Rates of Application
Apply 200 g/ha - foliar application
Apply 400 g/ha - drench application
Targets
A broad spectrum of sucking soil and leaf-feeding pests like Aphids, Jassids, Thrips & Whitefly.

Vegetables, Ornamentals, Coffee, Cotton, Tropical Plantations, Rice and Potatoes
PRODUCT BENEFITS
- Highly effective at low use rates against a broad spectrum of sucking, soil and leaf dwelling pests.
- Highly systemic and thus well suited for application as a foliar spray, drench or drip irrigation.
- Rapid uptake and fast acting, regardless of dry and wet conditions, which contributes to its favorable safety and environmental profile.
