• Piercing-sucking Insects: Aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers.
• Chewing Insects: Caterpillars, armyworms, and bollworms.
• Others: Thrips and beetles.

3. Application Method:

• Dosage: Typically, this product should be applied at 200-300 milliliters per hectare, depending on pest severity and crop type.
• Spraying: Use a suitable sprayer (knapsack sprayer or motorized sprayer) to ensure even distribution over the crop foliage.
• Timing: Apply during the early stages of pest infestation for optimal results. Repeat application may be necessary depending on pest pressure and environmental conditions.
• Water Volume: Use a sufficient amount of water (300-500 L/ha) to achieve good coverage of the crop canopy.

4. Mode of Action:

• Thiamethoxam is a systemic insecticide that acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, causing paralysis and death of the pests. It provides long-lasting control due to its systemic movement within the plant.
• Lambda-Cyhalothrin is a pyrethroid insecticide with strong contact and stomach action, offering quick knockdown of insect pests.

5. Safety and Precautions:

• Do not enter treated areas until the spray has completely dried.
• Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles during mixing and application.
• Avoid spraying during high temperatures or when wind speed is high to reduce drift and enhance efficacy.

6. Rotation and Resistance Management: Avoid consecutive applications of this product on the same pest species. Implement a rotation program with insecticides of different modes of action to manage resistance and maintain long-term efficacy.

This combination product offers a robust solution for both systemic and contact control of a wide range of insect pests, making it a valuable tool for crop protection in diverse agricultural settings.
