Capcadis Insecticide
Capcadis Insecticide is a highly effective systemic insecticide formulated with Thiamethoxam 75% SG, designed to provide rapid and long-lasting control of major sucking pests. Belonging to the neonicotinoid group, it acts on the insect nervous system causing paralysis and eventual death.
Capcadis is quickly absorbed by plant tissues and translocated throughout the plant, providing protection to new growth and hidden pest populations. It is widely trusted by farmers for crops such as cotton, rice, vegetables, fruits, and pulses where sucking pests like aphids, jassids, thrips and whiteflies cause heavy yield loss.

Capcadis Insecticide Features and Benefits
Rapid Knockdown Action
Capcadis quickly affects the nervous system of insects, leading to fast feeding cessation and pest mortality.
Strong Systemic Activity
After spraying, the insecticide moves inside the plant through the vascular system, protecting both treated and new leaves.
Long Residual Control
Provides extended protection against recurring pest infestations, reducing the need for frequent spraying.
Effective on Hidden Pests
Controls insects feeding on the underside of leaves or within plant tissues due to its systemic movement.
Low Dose Requirement
Highly potent formulation requires a small quantity per hectare, making it economical for farmers.
Compatible With IPM Programs
Works well in Integrated Pest Management programs when used as recommended.
Mode of Action
Thiamethoxam belongs to the neonicotinoid class of insecticides and acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist in the insect nervous system.
It disrupts nerve signal transmission, causing:
-
Loss of coordination
-
Paralysis
-
Death of the pest
Because of its systemic movement, insects ingest the toxin while feeding on plant sap.
