Tianid SC

Systemic crop protection: mechanism of action of Tianid SC

The insecticide "Tianid SC" is based on thiacloprid, a second-generation neonicotinoid that differs fundamentally from its predecessors like imidacloprid. The technical value of this product lies in its ability to rapidly penetrate the plant's xylem, ensuring systemic distribution of the active ingredient from the roots to growth points and new foliage. This is critical for protecting fast-growing crops such as rapeseed or corn, where untreated stem segments become vulnerable just days after spraying.

Why Tianid SC is effective against hidden pests

The suspension concentrate (SC) formulation creates a finely dispersed film on the leaf surface with high resistance to rain washing. Thiacloprid acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of the insect's nervous system, causing paralysis and rapid death. In practice, this results in high efficacy against:

• Beet webworm and grain noctuid — even at high population densities.
• Rapeseed blossom beetle and cruciferous flea beetles — due to the rapid "knockdown effect."
• Aphids — thanks to systemic activity that allows for control even on the underside of the leaves.

Technical application guidelines

To achieve maximum results when working with this insecticide, strictly follow the established regulations:

• Application rate: 0.15 to 0.3 L/ha depending on the phytosanitary conditions in the field.
• Number of treatments: maximum of two per season to manage resistance effectively.
• Pre-harvest interval: the final treatment must be performed 30 days before harvest to ensure crop safety.
• Type of action: systemic, requiring strict adherence to temperature regimes (not exceeding 25°C) to prevent rapid degradation of the product in sunlight.

The joint development by "Nanjing Limin Chemical Group Co., Ltd." and "Clov (Shanghai) Co., Ltd." has resulted in a balanced product that combines aggression against a broad spectrum of pests with moderate toxicity to warm-blooded animals (hazard class 3), simplifying field operations.
