General Information

Bheema is a systemic insecticide manufactured by several companies in India. It contains thiamethoxam as the active ingredient and is formulated as a 30% flowable concentrate (FC). Bheema is a broad-spectrum insecticide that provides effective control of a wide range of sucking and chewing insect pests in various crops. It is known for its rapid action and long residual control.

Mode of Action

Bheema acts by interfering with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the insect's nervous system. It disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses, leading to paralysis and death of the insect pests.

Application

Bheema is recommended for use in a variety of crops, including rice, cotton, vegetables, and fruits. It can be applied as a foliar spray, seed treatment, or soil drench. The recommended dosage and application method vary depending on the target crop and pest.

Precautions

  • Wear protective clothing, gloves, and mask when handling Bheema.
  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
  • Do not apply near water bodies or where there is a risk of runoff.
  • Follow the recommended dosage and application instructions.
  • Store Bheema in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
