₹650.00
PI Claret is a high-performance, systemic insecticide designed to provide long-lasting and effective control against a wide range of sucking pests. It is particularly valued for its ability to protect crops during their most vulnerable growth stages.
Product Overview
Technical Name: Thiamethoxam 25% WG (Water Dispersible Granules)
Chemical Group: Neonicotinoids
Mode of Action: Systemic and contact action. It is quickly taken up by the plant and moved into the leaves and stems. It interferes with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect’s nervous system, causing them to stop feeding and eventually die.
Special Features:
Vigor Effect: Beyond pest control, it often triggers a physiological response in plants known as the "Vigor Effect," leading to better root growth, greener leaves, and improved tolerance to environmental stress.
Excellent Solubility: The WG formulation dissolves quickly in water without leaving any residue, ensuring easy application and no nozzle clogging.
Low Dosage: Highly effective at very low concentrations, making it an economical choice for farmers.
Recommended Uses & Dosage
Claret is highly versatile and used across field crops, plantations, and horticultural varieties.

Application Methods
Foliar Spray: The most common method. Use a clean sprayer and ensure uniform coverage of the crop canopy.
Soil Drenching: Due to its systemic nature, it can be applied to the soil for certain vegetable crops to provide early-season protection.
Seed Treatment: Often used at the commercial level to protect young seedlings from early-stage sucking pests.
Key Benefits
Long Residual Control: Provides protection for a longer duration compared to traditional contact insecticides.
Fast Action: Sucking pests stop damaging the crop almost immediately after contact or ingestion.
Rain Fastness: Because it is systemic and absorbed into the plant tissue, it is less likely to be washed away by rain once it has dried.
User Friendly: The granular formulation is easy to measure and handle with minimal dust.
Safety Precautions
Pollinators: Thiamethoxam is toxic to bees. Do not apply during peak flowering periods when bees are actively foraging.
Safety Gear: Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and a mask during preparation and spraying.
Storage: Keep the product in its original container in a cool, dry, and locked place away from food and water sources.
Waiting Period (PHI): Ensure you follow the recommended Pre-Harvest Interval (ranging from 7 to 21 days depending on the crop) to ensure the produce is safe for consumption.
