Imidacloprid 17.8% SL contains the active ingredient Imidacloprid as well as auxiliaries and inert material. It is used as a spray to control sucking and other insects in various crops. It belongs to the Neonicotinoid group of systemic insecticides that effectively control sucking insects and termites. Imidacloprid 17.8% SL is a highly systemic insecticide that is rapidly absorbed by plants and has high xylem mobility. It can be applied at any stage of crop development, but the leaves should be green and succulent for maximum efficacy.
Imidacloprid acts as an agonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the insect central nervous system. By binding irreversibly to these receptors, it causes continuous stimulation of nerve cells, leading to incoordination, paralysis, and ultimately insect death. It acts through systemic, translaminar, contact, and stomach activity.
