How Do the Two Active Ingredients Work?

Clothianidin Systemic Activity

Clothianidin belongs to IRAC Group 4A.

It acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system. Normal nerve transmission is disrupted, leading to feeding cessation, paralysis and death in susceptible pests.

Clothianidin can be absorbed by treated plant tissue and provides systemic or locally systemic activity depending on the crop, application method and label.

Its main commercial direction includes susceptible:

• Aphids
• Whiteflies
• Leafhoppers
• Planthoppers
• Thrips
• Other registered sucking pests

Deltamethrin Contact Activity

Deltamethrin belongs to IRAC Group 3A.

It affects voltage-gated sodium channels in insect nerve cells. This causes continuous nerve stimulation, loss of coordination, paralysis and death.

Deltamethrin provides relatively rapid contact and stomach activity against exposed pests.

Its typical market direction may include:

• Caterpillars
• Borers
• Beetles
• Leaf-feeding larvae
• Other registered chewing pests

Combined Pest-Control Profile

The two active ingredients provide complementary activity:

Clothianidin supports systemic control of susceptible sucking pests, while Deltamethrin provides faster contact activity against exposed sucking and chewing insects.

This combination may be useful where more than one pest group occurs in the same crop.

It should not be presented as controlling every insect species or overcoming all resistant populations.

Target Pest Directions

Pest Group	Typical Pest Direction	Main Active Contribution
Sucking Pests	Aphids, whiteflies, leafhoppers and planthoppers	Mainly Clothianidin
Thrips	Registered thrips species	Clothianidin with Deltamethrin support
Chewing Pests	Caterpillars, borers and selected beetles	Mainly Deltamethrin
Mixed Infestations	Fields containing both sucking and chewing pests	Combined activity
Resistant Populations	Group 4A- or Group 3A-resistant pests	Control may be reduced

Exact pest claims must be confirmed by the approved local label.

Typical Crop Directions

Clothianidin + Deltamethrin products may be positioned in registered programs for crops such as:

• Rice
• Cotton
• Maize
• Vegetables
• Fruit crops
• Other commercial crops

The crop list differs by country and product registration.

A label for one crop or pest should not be extended automatically to another use.

When Should the Product Be Applied?

Apply when monitoring shows that the target pest population has reached the locally recommended treatment threshold.

Early treatment is generally more reliable when:

• Pest populations are still manageable
• Young larvae are present
• Sucking pests are actively feeding
• Spray coverage can reach the target area
• The crop is not under severe stress

Do not rely only on calendar-based spraying.

Field scouting and correct pest identification should guide treatment decisions.

Application Guidance

1. Confirm the Registered Crop and Pest

Before application, verify:

• Crop
• Pest species
• Pest growth stage
• Crop growth stage
• Local resistance status
• Pollinator activity
• PHI and REI requirements

2. Prepare the WP Correctly

WP means Wettable Powder.

The product disperses in water to form a suspension. It does not dissolve completely like a soluble powder.

Where permitted by the label:

1. Fill the tank partly with clean water.
2. Start agitation.
3. Prepare a slurry or premix where required.
4. Add the measured product slowly.
5. Complete filling with water.
6. Maintain agitation during application.

3. Apply with Uniform Coverage

Coverage is important for Deltamethrin contact activity.

Direct the spray toward:

• Lower leaf surfaces
• Inner canopy areas
• Pest colonies
• Young leaves
• Feeding sites
• Exposed larvae

4. Avoid Spray Overlap

Overlap may increase crop exposure and residue levels.

Use calibrated equipment and maintain consistent spray speed.

5. Follow the Registered Rate

Application rate, water volume, repeat interval and maximum seasonal use are label-specific.

Do not use a universal rate across different crops or countries.

WP Formulation Features

A WP formulation contains finely divided active ingredients combined with wetting, dispersing and stabilizing components.

After mixing with water, the formulation should remain evenly suspended during spraying.

Main WP Quality Parameters

Quality Parameter	Buyer Relevance
Clothianidin Content	Confirms the declared 50% specification
Deltamethrin Content	Confirms the declared 6.25% specification
Content Uniformity	Maintains the correct active ratio
Wettability	Supports rapid mixing with water
Suspensibility	Maintains uniform spray concentration
Wet Sieve Residue	Helps reduce nozzle blockage
Moisture Content	Influences storage and caking
Particle Size	Affects suspension and spray performance
Persistent Foam	Influences tank filling
Packaging Moisture Barrier	Protects the powder during storage

Agitation Requirements

The diluted spray suspension may settle if left without movement.

Agitation should continue during:

• Tank filling
• Transport to the field
• Application
• Operational interruptions

Dust Control

WP products may produce dust during handling.

Operators should avoid inhaling powder when:

• Opening packaging
• Measuring the product
• Preparing the premix
• Cleaning spills

Use the protective equipment specified on the final label and SDS.

Resistance Management

The formulation combines two insecticide groups:

• Clothianidin: IRAC Group 4A
• Deltamethrin: IRAC Group 3A

The combination can support resistance-management planning, but it does not prevent resistance automatically.

Important Resistance Boundaries

• Group 4A-resistant sucking pests may respond poorly to Clothianidin.
• Group 3A-resistant insects may respond poorly to Deltamethrin.
• Repeated use of the same premix increases selection pressure on both groups.
• A mixture is effective for resistance management only when both active ingredients control the target pest.

Recommended Program Principles

• Treat only when justified by pest monitoring.
• Use the complete registered rate.
• Avoid repeated consecutive applications.
• Rotate with effective insecticides outside Groups 4A and 3A.
• Control surviving pests before reproduction.
• Protect beneficial insects where possible.
• Integrate cultural and biological control.
• Investigate unexpected control failure.

Pollinator and Environmental Precautions

Both active ingredients require careful environmental management.

Protect Bees and Pollinators

Avoid application when bees are actively visiting flowering crops or weeds.

Follow local restrictions concerning:

• Blooming crops
• Flowering weeds
• Application timing
• Notification of beekeepers
• Drift into nearby flowering areas

Protect Surface Water

Prevent spray, runoff and equipment rinsate from entering:

• Rivers
• Streams
• Lakes
• Fish ponds
• Wells
• Irrigation canals
• Wetlands

Prevent Spray Drift

Use appropriate:

• Nozzles
• Droplet size
• Wind limits
• Boom height
• Buffer zones

Deltamethrin may be highly hazardous to aquatic organisms, while Clothianidin can present risks to pollinators and non-target insects.

Crop Safety and Use Precautions

Use only on crops included on the registered label.

Crop response may be affected by:

• Excessive rate
• Spray overlap
• High temperature
• Drought stress
• Waterlogging
• Sensitive varieties
• Unapproved tank mixtures
• Incorrect application timing

The product should not be promoted as safe for every crop or variety.

Tank Mixing and Compatibility

Do not assume compatibility with every pesticide, fertilizer or adjuvant.

Compatibility may depend on:

• Water hardness
• Water pH
• Partner formulation
• Mixing order
• Fertilizer salts
• Tank temperature

Conduct a small compatibility test for unfamiliar mixtures.

Physical compatibility does not confirm crop safety or pest-control performance.

Follow the most restrictive label in the mixture.

Safety and Operator Protection

Handle the product according to the approved label and final SDS.

General precautions include:

• Wear the required protective clothing.
• Use chemical-resistant gloves where specified.
• Avoid inhaling WP dust.
• Avoid skin and eye contact.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling.
• Wash exposed skin after use.
• Remove contaminated clothing.
• Follow the approved re-entry interval.
• Do not reuse empty packaging.

First-aid measures must follow the final product label and SDS.
