FAQ for THANOS
How do Indoxacarb and Acetamiprid complement each other in THANOS?
Indoxacarb is bioactivated inside insects to block sodium channels (targeting chewing pests like bollworms), while Acetamiprid systemically controls sucking pests — together providing complete cotton pest complex coverage.
Which pests does THANOS control?
THANOS controls jassids, whiteflies, and thrips (via Acetamiprid's systemic action) and bollworms and fruit borers (via Indoxacarb's contact/stomach action) on cotton and chillies.
Is THANOS effective against pyrethroid-resistant bollworms?
Yes, Indoxacarb's unique bioactivation-based sodium channel blocking mechanism provides activity against some pyrethroid-resistant bollworm populations, making THANOS useful for resistance management.
What is special about Indoxacarb's mode of action?
Indoxacarb is selectively bioactivated by insect esterases to its active metabolite DCJW, which blocks insect sodium channels with high selectivity and significantly reduced mammalian toxicity.
Can THANOS replace two separate sprays?
Yes, THANOS's dual activity against both sucking pests (jassids, whiteflies, thrips) and chewing pests (bollworms, fruit borers) allows farmers to replace two separate applications with a single THANOS spray.
