What is AGRIVO TARA?
AGRIVO TARA contains Thiamethoxam 25% WG, a systemic insecticide widely used for managing economically important sucking pests such as aphids, jassids, thrips, whiteflies, plant hoppers and hoppers.
The formulation is absorbed by the plant and distributed within plant tissues, helping protect treated crops from susceptible feeding insects.
Syngenta, the original registrant of Thiamethoxam 25% WG in India, lists the formulation as a crop-protection insecticide under the ACTARA brand.
How Does Thiamethoxam 25% WG Work?
Thiamethoxam belongs to the neonicotinoid group of insecticides.
It acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system, disrupting normal nerve transmission in susceptible pests.
Because of its systemic properties, the active ingredient can move within treated plant tissues, making it especially useful against insects that feed by sucking plant sap.
