Item description
ADAMA Anolik Thiamethoxam + Lambda-Cyhalothrin ZC Insecticide
ADAMA Anolik is a dual-active insecticide containing Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC. The combination brings together a neonicotinoid and a pyrethroid with systemic, contact and stomach activity. It must be used only on registered crop-pest combinations and according to the current Anolik label.
Key Features
- Verified dual-active formulation: Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC.
- Combines systemic activity with contact and stomach action.
- Two distinct IRAC mode-of-action groups: 4A and 3A.
- Registered formulation-use directions cover selected sucking and chewing pests across seven crops.
- Available in 80 ml, 200 ml, 500 ml and 1 L packs.

How It Works
Thiamethoxam belongs to IRAC Group 4A and acts on insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Lambda-cyhalothrin belongs to IRAC Group 3A and acts on insect nerve sodium channels. These are different target sites, but Anolik should still be used within an integrated resistance-management programme and only at the labelled timing and rate.

Application and Resistance Best Practices
- Identify the pest and crop stage before treatment; do not apply as a routine calendar spray.
- Measure the labelled formulation dose and use calibrated equipment with the required water volume.
- Obtain even coverage of the target crop while preventing drift to neighbouring areas.
- Do not repeat Group 4A + 3A products continuously; rotate to a label-approved product with different target-site groups where appropriate.
- No tank-mix recommendation is made here. Related and upsell products below are standalone alternatives.
Safety
- Read the current Anolik label before opening or applying the product.
- Wear the label-specified gloves, protective clothing, eye protection and respiratory protection.
- Avoid skin, eye and mouth contact and avoid breathing spray mist.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling or spraying; wash thoroughly afterwards.
- Protect bees and other pollinators and prevent spray or rinsate from reaching ponds, streams and drains.
- Store locked in the original container away from children, food and animal feed.
