Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC – Detailed Description

Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC is a broad-spectrum, dual-action insecticide formulated as a ZC (Zeon Capsule) suspension. It combines the systemic neonicotinoid Thiamethoxam with the contact pyrethroid Lambda-Cyhalothrin, offering both knockdown and residual control against a wide range of sucking and chewing insect pests. This combination provides synergistic efficacy by attacking pests through different mechanisms, making it highly effective for crop protection.

✅ Mode of Action

This combination insecticide works through dual action:

1. Thiamethoxam (12.6%) – Systemic Action:

   • Belongs to the neonicotinoid group, which acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the insect’s nervous system.

   • Causes paralysis and eventually kills the pest by inhibiting feeding activity.

   • Provides long-lasting protection due to its systemic movement within the plant.

2. Lambda-Cyhalothrin (9.5%) – Contact & Stomach Action:

   • A pyrethroid insecticide that disrupts the sodium channels in nerve cells, causing hyperexcitation, paralysis, and death.

   • Offers fast knockdown action, providing immediate relief from pest attacks.

   • Acts on contact and through ingestion.

  • Paddy (Rice): 80-100 ml per acre (for stem borer and leaf folder)

  • Cotton: 100-120 ml per acre (for aphids, jassids, and whiteflies)

  • Vegetables: 80-100 ml per acre (for fruit borers and sucking pests)

  • Sugarcane: 100-120 ml per acre (for shoot borers)

• Water volume: 150-200 liters per acre

• Method of application:

  • Foliar spray using a knapsack sprayer
