Active ingredients in Actellic Gold Dust
16 g/kg pirimphos-methyl and 3.6 g/kg Thiamethoxam.
How does it work?
Pirimiphos-methyl rapidly penetrates the insect cuticle and disrupts nerve conduction via the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase.
Thiamethoxam is considered to act by interfering with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor of the nervous system of insects.

Usage recommendations
For stored cereals: Seeds should be treated as soon as possible, as they are loaded onto the storage strip. Seeds showing slight moisture should be dried before treatment. If the drying is not done, it may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment by degrading the insecticide. For the best results in using this product, seed moisture should be kept below 15%. If the humidity is higher, the efficacy and duration of action of the product decrease.
