General Information:

Wonderex Super is a broad-spectrum insecticide that contains the active ingredient thiamethoxam. It is effective against a wide range of insect pests in a variety of crops, including cotton, rice, vegetables, and fruit trees. Wonderex Super is a systemic insecticide with contact and stomach action. It also has ovicidal and larvicidal properties.

Active Ingredient:

  • Thiamethoxam 30% FS

Mode of Action:

Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid insecticide that acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in insect nerve cells. When thiamethoxam binds to these receptors, it disrupts nerve transmission, leading to paralysis and death. Thiamethoxam is also active against insect eggs and larvae.

Application:

Wonderex Super can be applied as a foliar spray or soil drench. The recommended dose and application method will vary depending on the crop and the insect pest to be controlled. For example, to control bollworms in cotton, Wonderex Super can be applied as a foliar spray at a dose of 100-125 ml per hectare.

Precautions:

  • Wonderex Super is a selective insecticide, but it can harm some crops if applied incorrectly. It is important to read and follow the label directions carefully.
  • Wonderex Super is not rain fast. Therefore, it should not be applied if rain is expected within 4 hours of application.
  • Wonderex Super is toxic to bees and other pollinators. Therefore, it is important to avoid using Wonderex Super during flowering periods when bees are active.

Additional Information:

Wonderex Super is a popular insecticide among farmers in India because it is effective against a wide range of insect pests, including some difficult-to-control pests such as bollworms in cotton and whiteflies in vegetables. It is also relatively safe for crops if used correctly.

However, it is important to note that Wonderex Super is a systemic insecticide, which means that it is absorbed by the plants and translocated to all parts of the plant, including the edible parts. Therefore, it is important to follow the pre-harvest interval (PHI) specified on the label before harvesting the crops.

It is also important to rotate Wonderex Super with other insecticides to prevent the development of resistance in insect pests.
