TAMMA is a systemic seed treatment insecticide. It protects against target pests by interfering with receptors that transmit the message to continue feeding. It acts on different sites of action in the insect.
Here's a breakdown of TAMMA's key features and benefits:
Active Ingredient: Thiamethoxam
Formulation: 30% FS (Flowable Suspension)
Mode of Action:
Systemic insecticide: Absorbed by the plant and transported throughout its tissues, providing protection from the inside out.
Contact and stomach poison: Also effective when pests come into direct contact with the treated seed or ingest treated plant tissue.
Disrupts nerve transmission: Thiamethoxam binds to specific receptors in the insect's nervous system, leading to paralysis and death.
