ARIKA

(Thiamethoxam + Lambda Cyhalothrin ZC)

ARIKA is a powerful combination insecticide formulated to deliver fast and long-lasting control of both sucking and chewing insect pests across diverse crops. Its dual-action ZC formulation blends systemic movement with strong contact activity, protecting new growth as well as exposed plant surfaces.

Thiamethoxam ensures internal distribution within plant tissues, while lambda cyhalothrin provides rapid knockdown of active pests. ARIKA effectively disrupts insect feeding behavior, reduces pest multiplication, and prevents further crop damage.

Its balanced formulation makes it suitable for managing mixed pest populations in high-pressure conditions. When applied as recommended, ARIKA supports healthy crop development, improves plant vigor, and helps farmers achieve stable yields with consistent pest suppression.

Target Pests

ARIKA controls sucking and chewing pests through systemic uptake and contact action, disrupting feeding and movement, reducing pest populations on leaves and shoots, protecting crops from damage, and supporting consistent growth under varied infestation conditions.

Effectively Controls

  • Aphid colony suppression
  • Jassid sap feeders
  • Thrips feeding damage
  • Whitefly adult control
  • Bollworm early instars
  • Leaf folder larvae
  • Shoot borer larvae
  • Defoliating caterpillars
  • Foliage-feeding insects
  • Resistant pest populations
  • Mixed pest complexes
  • Yield-reducing insects

Application Areas

  • Cotton Crops Manages sucking pests and bollworms
