HPM Tamma (Thiamethoxam 30% FS) is a systemic seed treatment insecticide developed to provide effective protection against early-stage sucking and soil-dwelling insect pests. It works by disrupting the nervous system of insects through its unique action on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which interferes with their feeding and causes rapid mortality. This ensures healthy seed germination, better root establishment, and vigorous crop growth from the very beginning.
