Mode of Action

Thiamethoxam belongs to the neonicotinoid group of insecticides. It acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nervous system of susceptible insects, disrupting normal nerve transmission.

Affected pests lose normal feeding and movement activity, eventually resulting in paralysis and mortality. Its systemic movement within plants is particularly useful against sap-feeding pests that obtain the active ingredient while feeding on treated crop tissues.

Sucking Pest Management

Aphids, jassids, whiteflies and thrips feed on plant tissues and sap, which can cause yellowing, curling, stunting and reduced crop vigour. Heavy infestations can interfere with normal crop development and productivity.

Evident provides systemic protection and helps reduce active sucking pest populations when applied at the correct crop stage and recommended dose.

Rice Pest Management

Biostadt recommends Evident against a broad range of important rice pests including stem borer, gall midge, leaf folder, Brown Plant Hopper, White Backed Plant Hopper, Green Leaf Hopper and thrips.

Regular field scouting is important so treatment can be applied when pest populations reach the recommended intervention level.

Recommended Spray Water and Waiting Period

How to Use Biostadt Evident

1. Identify the target pest and confirm that the crop is listed on the current product label.
2. Measure the crop-specific recommended quantity accurately.
3. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water.
4. Add the required quantity of Evident while maintaining agitation.
5. Add the remaining water and mix thoroughly.
6. Spray uniformly over the crop canopy.
7. Ensure good coverage of tender shoots and the undersides of leaves where sucking pests may occur.
8. Use the prepared spray mixture promptly.

Best Time to Apply

Apply when the target pest first appears or when field scouting indicates that the pest population has reached the recommended treatment level. Early treatment generally provides better protection than waiting until severe crop damage develops.

For tomato, registered-use guidance recommends the first spray at initial pest appearance, with subsequent applications based on pest intensity and label recommendations.

Application Tips

• Apply only at the crop-specific recommended dose.
• Use sufficient water for uniform crop coverage.
• Direct spray toward areas where target pests are actively feeding.
