Product description
Zircon 25% WDG Insecticide device contains the active substance Thiamethoxam at a concentration of 25%, and comes in the form of granules capable of dispersing in water WDG. It is used to assist in controlling sap-sucking insects such as aphids, whiteflies, and Tetranychus, which are pests that feed on plant sap and cause weak growth, yellowing of leaves, deformation of new growth, and reduced crop quality if neglected. Zircon is characterized by its ability to absorb and transfer within plant tissues, which helps deliver the active substance to various parts of the plant when used according to the label instructions. It also helps reduce the spread of sap-sucking insects within the field and is used within integrated pest management programs with the necessity of rotating pesticides to reduce the chances of resistance development.
Device insecticide for controlling sap-sucking insects
Sap-sucking insects such as aphids, whiteflies, and Tetranychus are pests affecting vegetable crops, fruit trees, and ornamental plants because they feed on plant sap and weaken vegetative growth, and may contribute to transmitting some insect-borne diseases. Therefore, dealing with them requires a suitable insecticide, early spraying timing, and good coverage of the plant.
Zircon 25% WDG helps reduce the numbers of these pests when used correctly, especially when the infestation begins to appear on new leaves or the underside of leaves. It is preferable to use it within an organized program that includes regular monitoring, avoiding repeated use of the same chemical group, and adhering to recommended doses and safety intervals.

Method of using Zircon 25% WDG
Use Zircon according to crop type, target pest, and severity of infestation, with a mandatory reading of the product label before preparation and spraying. Based on product data, the recommended doses are as follows:
Vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers: for controlling aphids, whiteflies, and Tetranychus, use at a rate of 0.2 to 0.3 grams per 1 liter of water.
Spray on the vegetative parts with focus on the underside of the leaves.
Potatoes: for controlling aphids and leafhoppers, use at a rate of 0.25 grams per 1 liter of water, and spray when the infestation begins to appear.
Fruit trees: for controlling aphids, whiteflies, and Tetranychus, use at a rate of 0.3 grams per 1 liter of water, and spray foliarly with good coverage.
Ornamental plants: for controlling sap-sucking insects generally, use at a rate of 0.2 grams per 1 liter of water, and repeat spraying depending on infestation severity, considering rotation.
To prepare the solution, dissolve the required amount in a small quantity of water first with good stirring, then complete with the remaining water and spray directly.
Stir the solution well during preparation to ensure uniform distribution of the granules.
To improve spray quality, use an appropriate sprayer from the manual agricultural sprayers section, or browse the section of sprayers, fertilizers, and pesticides to choose suitable spraying tools based on the area of use.
Best timing for spraying Zircon against sap-sucking insects
The best timing for using Zircon is at the beginning of infestation, especially when noticing aphid clusters, whitefly activity, or Tetranychus signs on new growth and leaves. Early intervention helps reduce pest spread before their population increases and causes clear plant weakness.
Prefer spraying early in the morning or before sunset, avoiding spraying during high temperatures or strong winds. Also, focus on covering the underside of leaves as many sap-sucking insects hide in this area.

Resistance management when using Zircon 25% WDG
Because Zircon contains Thiamethoxam, which is used against sap-sucking insects, it should not be relied upon repeatedly throughout the season. It is best used within an integrated pest management program based on rotating pesticides from different groups, with early pest monitoring and improved spray quality.
Insects such as whiteflies, aphids, and Tetranychus can reproduce quickly, so it is advised to continuously monitor fields and protected environments, spray at the beginning of infestation, and not wait for the pest to spread across the entire plant.
