Actara® 25% WDG Insecticide – Powerful Systemic Control for Whiteflies, Aphids & Thrips

Actara 25% WDG is a systemic insecticide from Syngenta for growers who need dependable control of sucking pests on UAE farms and greenhouses. Its active ingredient, thiamethoxam 25%, is taken up by the plant and moves through the tissues, so pests feeding on treated leaves are hit from the inside.

Key Benefits

• Systemic action – absorbed through leaves and roots and carried through the plant, reaching pests hidden under leaves.
• Protects new growth – fresh shoots that appear after spraying are also covered by the systemic movement.
• Easy-mix WDG – water dispersible granules dissolve quickly with little dust and give an even spray.
• Low use rate – a small 40g pack goes into a full spray programme for farms and nurseries.
• Fits IPM programmes – a Group 4A neonicotinoid you can rotate with other insecticide groups.
• Syngenta quality – a professional product trusted by commercial growers.

Target Pests and Recommended Crops

Actara is aimed at sucking and piercing insects that weaken plants and spread disease:

• Aphids, whiteflies and thrips
• Jassids and leafhoppers
• Mealybugs, scale insects and leaf miners

It suits tomato, cucumber, capsicum, eggplant, leafy vegetables, citrus and other fruit trees, ornamental plants, greenhouse crops and field crops. Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid: insects that feed on treated plants stop feeding quickly and die from nervous system disruption.
