Thiocyclam Hydrogen Oxalate 50% SP Insecticide | Silkworm Toxin-Based Pest Control

Active Ingredient: Thiocyclam Hydrogen Oxalate (50%)

Formulation: Soluble Powder (SP)

Chemical Class: Silkworm toxin-based insecticide

Primary Use: Controls chewing and sucking pests via contact, stomach toxicity, and systemic action in rice, onions, and other crops.

Mode of Action

  • Dual Action:
    1. Contact & Stomach Toxicity: Disrupts insect nervous systems, causing paralysis and death.
    2. Systemic Absorption: Penetrates plant tissues to target pest eggs internally, preventing hatching.
  • Target Pests: Thrips, rice borers (Dichotoma, Trichotoma), rice leaf rollers, aphids, whiteflies, and lepidopteran larvae.

Key Features

  1. Systemic Egg Control: Reduces early-stage infestations by targeting eggs within plant tissues.
  2. Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Effective against Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, and Coleoptera pests.
  3. Early-Stage Application: Most effective during pest egg hatching or young larval stages.
  4. Formulation Advantages:
    • SP (Soluble Powder): Easily dissolves in water for uniform foliar spraying.
    • Granules (GR) / Wettable Powder (WP): Alternate formulations for soil or foliar use (see comparison table below).

Crop Applications & Dosage

Crop Target Pest Dosage (kg/HA) Application Method Timing
Onion Thrips 0.5–0.6 Foliar spray Nymph stage, repeat every 7–10 days
Rice Rice borer, leaf roller 0.75–1.5 Foliar spray Egg hatching or early larval stage
Vegetables Fruit borers, leaf miners Varies by pest Foliar spray Early infestation

Formulation Comparison

Formulation Active Ingredient Mode of Action Application Method Best Use Scenario
50% SP 50% Systemic (foliar) Dissolve in water, spray Foliar pest control (e.g., onions)
4% GR 4% Systemic (soil) Granular soil application Soil-dwelling pests (e.g., root zones)
50% WP 50% Systemic (foliar/soil) Mix with water, spray/irrigate Versatile use in field/greenhouse crops

Safety & Handling

  • Crop Sensitivity: Avoid use on beans, cotton, and fruit trees (phytotoxicity risk).
  • Environmental Precautions:
    • Toxic to aquatic life; keep away from water bodies.
    • Avoid spraying in windy conditions or before rain (risk of runoff).
  • Storage: Cool, dry, sealed container; keep away from food/feed.

Regulatory & Performance

  • Shelf Life: 2 years under recommended storage.
  • Compliance: Meets ISO standards; consult local regulations for registration.
  • Mixing: Compatible with most pesticides, but test for compatibility before tank mixing.

Application Notes

  • Thrips Control: Single application during nymph stage on onions, with 7-day minimum interval.
  • Residue Management: Max 3 applications per season to prevent resistance and residue buildup.
