Tagxone is a foliar-applied insecticide containing the active ingredient thiamethoxam. Thiamethoxam is a second-generation neonicotinoid insecticide, belonging to the thianicotinyl subclass of chemistry and possessing unique chemical properties that result in excellent control of many sucking and chewing pests. Tagxone is used at very low rates and exhibits excellent translaminar movement into plant tissue. This movement results in part from the high water solubility and low partition coefficient of thiamethoxam. Tagxone interferes with a unique receptor site in the insect’s nervous system, the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, and is not known to be cross-resistant to any other insecticide classes.
Recommended to control Stem borer, Gall midge, Leaf folder, Brown plant hopper ( BPH ), White back plant hopper (WBPH), Green leaf hopper (GLH), Thrips, Jassids, Aphids, White flies, Mosquito bug in tea, and Psylla in citrus.
