7-STAR is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by HPM India. It contains Thiamethoxam 25% WG (Water Dispersible Granules) as its active ingredient. This insecticide is highly effective against a wide range of sucking and chewing pests in various crops, including cotton, paddy (rice), fruits, and vegetables.
Key features and benefits:

Cotton: Aphids, Jassids, Whiteflies, Thrips
Paddy: Green Leafhopper, Brown Planthopper
Fruits: Thrips, Whiteflies, Aphids
Vegetables: Aphids, Jassids, Whiteflies, Thrips
Systemic action: It is absorbed by the plant through its roots and foliage and translocated throughout its vascular system, providing long-lasting protection from within.
Translaminar activity: 7-STAR also moves through the leaf tissue, offering protection on both sides of the leaves.
Contact and stomach action: It works by both contacting the pest and being ingested, leading to quick and effective control.
Long-lasting effect: 7-STAR provides extended residual control, reducing the frequency of applications.
Cost-effective: It is effective at relatively low dosages, making it economical to use.
Disease prevention: By controlling insect vectors, it helps prevent the spread of viral diseases like leaf curl in cotton.
Mode of action:
Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid insecticide that acts as an agonist of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in the insect's central nervous system. This disrupts nerve impulse transmission, causing paralysis and ultimately death of the pest.
