05How does Maxxafen – Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC work?+
This combination product acts through two complementary mechanisms. Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid that binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in the insect nervous system, causing continuous nerve excitation (IRAC Group 4A). Lambda-cyhalothrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that modulates voltage-gated sodium channels, causing prolonged nerve depolarization (IRAC Group 3A). Together, they provide combined systemic and contact/knockdown activity against a broad range of sap-sucking and bollworm pests.
06How should Maxxafen – Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC be applied?+
Maxxafen (Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC) is diluted in the recommended volume of water and applied as a foliar spray in cotton, using standard knapsack or boom sprayers, following the approved product label.
