Notes: This study assessed the efficacy of a single soil drench application of thiamethoxam (Actara 240 SC) for controlling these pests in two cultivars, Barhi and Brem, under field conditions. The goal was to evaluate the residual presence of the pesticide within the plant system, to assess its effectiveness against target pests in order to determine the optimal pre-harvest interval required to ensure food safety and compliance with established residue limits. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42690-026-01849-9
