Thiocyclam is a selective insecticide with stomach poison, contact and systemic effects. It can be transmitted to the top. The effective period for controlling Lepidoptera and Coleoptera pests is 7 to 14 days. It can also control parasitic nematodes, such as rice white tip nematodes, and has a certain preventive effect on rust and white spike disease of some crops. It can control yellow stem borer, rice leaf roller, striped stem borer, rice thrips, leafhoppers, rice gall midge, planthoppers, peach aphids, apple aphids, apple red spider, pear star caterpillar, citrus leaf miner, vegetable pests, etc.
Main control targets of Thiocyclam
1. Lepidoptera pests:
Thiocyclam has special effects on Lepidoptera pests, including yellow stem borer, striped stem borer, rice leaf roller, etc. on rice, and peach aphids, apple aphids, apple red spider, etc. on fruit trees. These pests often cause serious damage to crops, and the use of thiocyclam can effectively control their number and protect crop growth.
2. Coleopteran pests:
Coleopteran pests are also one of the main targets of thiocyclam. This type of pests includes rice thrips, leafhoppers, rice gall midges, etc., which harm crops by sucking or gnawing on crop leaves. Thiocyclam's contact and systemic effects can quickly kill these pests and reduce their damage to crops.
3. Parasitic nematodes:
In addition to lepidopteran and coleopteran pests, thiocyclam can also be used to control parasitic nematodes, such as rice white-tip nematodes. These nematodes parasitize in crops and are difficult to be killed by traditional pesticides. The unique mechanism of action of thiocyclam enables it to effectively control the number of nematodes and protect crop health.
4. Other pests:
Thiocyclam also has a spectrum of insecticides against other pests, such as citrus leafminers, vegetable pests (such as cabbage moth, cabbage white butterfly, white butterfly, etc.) and snails. These pests occur in certain amounts on different crops and pose a threat to crop growth. Using thiocyclam for prevention and control can achieve good results.
