Trio Methoxam 25 insecticide is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide containing thiamethoxam. Once sprayed, Trio Methoxam 25 insecticide is absorbed by the leaf and carried through the plant's system. It works by jamming the nerve receptors and stops feeding within hours. Trio Methoxam 25 insecticide works by contact and stomach routes as well, providing strong protection. The water-dispersible granules break up cleanly in the tank for easy application and even spread.

How To Use Trio Methoxam 25 Insecticide:
Weigh the Trio Methoxam 25 insecticide granules accurately; since the rate is low, it also costs less money.
Disperse the measured Trio Methoxam 25 insecticide in a mug of clean water and stir until no lumps remain.
Pour the pre-mix into a part-filled spray tank and top up with the balance water.
Agitate the tank so the strength stays even from the first nozzle to the last.
Spray uniformly, covering the underside of leaves where jassids and whitefly settle.
In rice, direct the nozzle low, towards the base of the clumps where hoppers gather.
Allow a few dry hours after spraying; hold off if rain looks close.
Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water once the round is over.
Best Time To Apply:
Trio Methoxam 25 insecticide is a systemic product, so it should go on at the first sign of pest incidence rather than after the crop is already damaged. Early morning or late evening is the right window — the crop is cool, wind is low, and honeybees are not out working the flowers.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency: One or two Trio Methoxam 25 insecticide rounds a season are usually sufficient, kept 12 to 15 days apart if pest pressure continues.
Rotation: Do not spray Trio Methoxam 25 insecticide twice in a row. Alternate with a different IRAC group to slow resistance.
Re-Entry: Keep workers and livestock out of the treated field for 24 hours, and re-enter with full protective gear.
Tank-Mix: Trio Methoxam 25 insecticide mixes with most routine sprays, though alkaline partners should be avoided. Jar-test any new combination first.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Go through the label and leaflet properly before the pack is opened.
