Description

Thiometon is a systemic organophosphorus insecticide and acaricide, widely recognized for its effectiveness in controlling a broad spectrum of pests. Its systemic action allows it to be absorbed and translocated within plants, providing durable protection against sucking and chewing insects. This product is essential for agricultural professionals and formulators seeking reliable crop protection solutions for fruits, vegetables, and field crops.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: Primary use in the protection of a wide range of crops including citrus fruits, pome fruits, stone fruits, vegetables, and cotton against aphids, mites, thrips, and whiteflies.
• Systemic Crop Protection: Applied as a foliar spray or soil treatment, where it is absorbed by the plant to provide internal, long-lasting defense against infestations.
• Pesticide Formulation: Serves as a key active ingredient (AI) in the manufacturing of emulsifiable concentrates (EC), soluble concentrates (SL), and other commercial pesticide formulations.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Used as part of rotational programs to manage pest resistance to other insecticide classes.
• Non-Crop Uses: Employed in certain regions for the control of pests in forestry and managed green spaces.
