Capcadis - Thiamethoxam 75% w/w SG - Syngenta

Syngenta Capcadis: Product Overview

Syngenta Capcadis is an insecticide containing Thiamethoxam 75% w/w SG for specific crop-and-pest uses registered in India.

Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid in IRAC Group 4A. Capcadis must not be described as thiacloprid 21.7% SC: Syngenta India's official product record confirms the 75% w/w SG thiamethoxam identity. This Mana Agri Mart listing is for the 50 g pack.

There is no universal Capcadis dose, per-litre rate or pack-coverage claim. The correct formulation quantity, application medium and pre-harvest interval depend on the crop. Match every use to the current Capcadis pack label.

Why Choose Capcadis?

• Verified Syngenta identity: the official Indian record confirms Thiamethoxam 75% w/w SG.
• Systemic Group 4A action: thiamethoxam acts on insect nerve signalling as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor competitive modulator.
• Defined Indian uses: official formulation-level directions cover named pests in groundnut, sugarcane, rice and cotton.
• Crop-specific directions: the page keeps each hectare rate, application medium and PHI separate instead of presenting a misleading universal dose.
• Resistance-aware guidance: same-active substitutes are separated from products in genuinely different IRAC groups.

How Capcadis Works

1. Exposure: target insects are exposed through the label-specified crop application.
2. Group 4A activity: thiamethoxam modulates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and disrupts normal insect nerve signalling.
3. Resistance stewardship: repeated Group 4A use can select resistant populations. Do not treat successive pest generations only with Capcadis, Devsena, Krioxm Gold or another Group 4A product. Where another treatment is justified, choose a label-approved product from a different effective IRAC group.

Registered Crop, Pest, Dose, Application Medium and PHI

PHI = pre-harvest interval. These are hectare-based entries from the Government of India formulation-level major-use record. No per-acre or per-litre rate has been invented. The current physical Capcadis pack remains the final authority.

Application and Resistance Guidance

• Confirm the exact use: match crop, pest, formulation rate, application medium, timing and PHI to the current label before opening the pack.
• Measure accurately: use calibrated weighing equipment. Do not estimate by spoon or convert the table into a universal tank dose.
• Keep methods separate: the rice direction uses a water-and-sand mixture; do not turn it into a foliar per-litre recommendation. Follow the current label for groundnut, sugarcane and cotton technique.
• Do not improvise mixtures: no universal tank-mix or compatibility claim is made. Recommendation cards are standalone alternatives, not mixing partners.
• Rotate modes of action: when a further treatment is needed and legal for the same crop and pest, follow local expert advice and use a different effective IRAC group rather than another Group 4A product.

Safety and Handling

• Wear protective clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection and suitable respiratory protection while measuring, mixing and applying.
• Avoid inhalation and contact with skin, eyes and mouth. Do not eat, drink or smoke during handling. Wash exposed skin and contaminated clothing after use.
• Keep away from food, animal feed, children, animals and unprotected people. Prevent drift, surplus product and washings from reaching water bodies.
• If exposure or symptoms occur, obtain urgent medical advice and show the current pack label. Syngenta states that no specific antidote is known and treatment is symptomatic under medical supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Capcadis thiacloprid 21.7% SC?
No. Syngenta India's official record identifies Capcadis as Thiamethoxam 75% w/w SG.

Can the 50 g pack be assigned one acreage claim?
No. The formulation rate and application method vary by crop, and the 50 g pack is smaller than each complete hectare rate in the official table.

Can Devsena or Krioxm Gold be used for resistance rotation?
No. They are same-active, same-formulation Group 4A alternatives. A resistance rotation requires an effective product from a different label-approved IRAC group.

Can Capcadis be tank-mixed with another pesticide?
No universal tank-mix advice is given here. Follow both current labels and qualified local guidance.
