Areva Insecticide

About Product

• Areva is a granular soluble insecticide of the Neonicotinoid group.
• It gives protection against insects for a longer period in comparison to other insecticides.
• It is safe for the environment in comparison to other insecticides because of its lesser dose per acre.
• It has rapid uptake and fasts acting, regardless of dry and wet conditions, which contributes to its favorable safety and environmental profile.

Technical Details

• Technical Content: Thiamethoxam 25% Wg
• Mode of Entry: Systemic
• Mode of Action: Areva is absorbed quickly by plants and transported to all its parts, including pollen, where it acts to deter insect feeding. An insect can absorb it in its stomach after feeding, or through direct contact, including through its tracheal system. The compound gets in the way of information transfer between nerve cells by interfering with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system, and eventually paralyzes the muscles of the insects.

Key Features and Benefits

• Areva is highly effective at low use rates against a broad spectrum of sucking, soil and leaf dwelling pests.
• It is highly systemic and thus well suited for application as a foliar spray, drench or drip irrigation.
• It has rapid uptake and fasts acting, regardless of dry and wet conditions, which contributes to its favorable safety and environmental profile.
