Imidacloprid® 20% SC Agricultural Insecticide 1 Ltr

Imidacloprid® 20% SC Agricultural Insecticide

Imidacloprid® 20% SC Agricultural Insecticide is a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide, and the 20% concentration indicates the amount of imidacloprid present in the formulation. Imidacloprid is a systemic insecticide, meaning that it can be absorbed by the plant and translocated within its vascular system. This provides protection to various plant parts, making it effective against a range of pests that feed on different plant tissues.

Target Pests:

Imidacloprid is effective against a broad spectrum of insect pests, including but not limited to aphids, thrips, whiteflies, beetles, termites, and certain types of soil-dwelling insects.

Application Methods:

Imidacloprid 20% can be applied using different methods, including soil drenching, foliar spraying, seed treatment, or application to the planting hole for trees and shrubs.

Crop Uses:

It is commonly used in agriculture to protect crops such as cereals, fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and turfgrass from insect damage.

Mode of Action:

Imidacloprid acts on the nervous system of insects, specifically on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses, leading to paralysis and eventual death of the target pests.

Residual Activity:

Imidacloprid has residual activity, providing protection against pests for an extended period after application. This can reduce the need for frequent reapplication.

Seed Treatment:

Imidacloprid is often used as a seed treatment for crops. When seeds are coated with imidacloprid, the insecticide is taken up by the germinating seedlings, providing early protection against soil-dwelling pests
