**Thiamethoxam: An Inseticide that Improve Seed Rice**

The discovery of thiamethoxam has opened new perspectives for the Brazilian agriculture, mainly in seed treatment. The molecule was the center of studies by a group of researchers

Researches were made to establish the activity of the active ingredient on the physiology of the plant, when applied the soybean seed treatment. It was observed that seed germination index and seedling vigor were higher than those of plants in plots without seed treatment. It was also found that, under water stress conditions soybean plants from seed treated with thiamethoxam showed better growth, such as increased length and root volume, faster ini‐ tial development, higher leaf area, height, number of pods and green colored more intense. The various pesticides used today can be classified into different classes (CASTRO, 2006),

**a.** Regulatory Plant or Bio-regulators - organic compounds, non-nutrient, which applied to the plants, at low concentrations promotes, inhibits or modifies some morphological or physiological plant process. The term regulator is restricted to natural or synthetic

**b.** Plant Hormones - substances produced by plants, which at low concentrations regulate morphological and physiological processes of the plant. Hormones can move within the plant from the generated to the action site, or be produced at the action site. The term hormone is restricted to products that occur naturally in plants (named endogenous).
