Anant Insecticide (Thiamethoxam 25% WG) by Rallis Tata
The Ultimate Solution for Sucking Pests with Advanced Systemic Protection
Anant Insecticide is a premium crop protection product manufactured by Rallis India (A Tata Enterprise). It is designed specifically to fight tough sucking pests like Aphids, Jassids, Whiteflies, and Hoppers.
Powered by Thiamethoxam 25% WG, Anant provides dual protection by killing pests on contact and working from inside the plant (systemic action) to protect new leaves. It is ideal for farmers looking for long-lasting control in Cotton, Paddy (Rice), and Vegetables who want greener, healthier crops.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Quick Knockdown Action: Stops pests from feeding immediately upon contact, preventing further damage to your crop within hours.
- ?️Double Protection (Systemic & Contact): It penetrates the leaf surface to kill hidden pests on the underside and travels inside the plant to protect new growth.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Control: Provides extended protection for up to 21 days, saving you labor and money on frequent re-spraying.
- ?️Rainfast in 2 Hours: Quickly absorbed by the plant. If it rains 2-3 hours after spraying, you do not generally need to spray again.
- ?Phytotonic "Vigor" Effect: Beyond killing pests, it makes crops greener, improves root growth, and helps plants withstand stress like drought.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Anant works by targeting the nervous system of the insect. It is a "nicotinic acetylcholine receptor" modulator.
- Absorption: When sprayed, the unique granules dissolve instantly and are absorbed by the plant leaves and roots.
- Systemic Movement: The chemical travels upwards through the plant's water system (xylem), reaching every leaf and stem.
- Paralysis & Elimination: When a pest sucks the plant sap or touches the leaf, the chemical blocks its nerve signals. The pest stops eating immediately and dies within 24 to 48 hours.
It also has translaminar action, meaning it moves through the leaf tissue to kill pests hiding on the underside.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 40g - 80g (Whitefly) | 150 - 200 L | 0.3g - 0.5g | 21 Days |
| Paddy (Rice) | 40g | 150 - 200 L | 0.2g - 0.3g | 14 Days |
| Vegetables | 40g - 80g | 150 - 200 L | 0.3g - 0.5g | 3 - 5 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the first sight of pests (e.g., when you see whiteflies or hopper burn). Early application prevents population explosion.
- Mixing: Premix the granules in a small bucket of water to ensure they dissolve completely before adding to the main tank.
- Coverage: For Paddy BPH, direct the nozzle toward the base of the plant. For Cotton, ensure foliage coverage.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Anant safe for bees?
Anant is toxic to bees. Do not spray during the peak flowering stage or when bees are actively foraging. Spray in the evening if necessary.
2. Can I mix Anant with fungicides?
Yes, Anant is compatible with most common fungicides (like Hexaconazole) and liquid fertilizers. Avoid mixing with highly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture.
3. What is the difference between WG and WP formulation?
WG (Water Dispersible Granules) is safer and more advanced. It is dust-free, dissolves better in water, and doesn't clog nozzles compared to WP (Powders).
4. How fast does Anant work?
Pests stop feeding almost immediately after contact. You will see maximum control (dead pests) within 24 to 48 hours.
5. Does Anant help with crop growth?
Yes! Anant provides a "Phytotonic effect," which helps the plant stay green, improves root systems, and resist drought stress, leading to better yields.
