Imidacloprid 200 g/l SL

Composition: 200 g/l Imidacloprid
Chemical group
Neonicotinoid
Type of formulation
Soluble Liquid (SL)
Imidacloprid 20 SL is systemic Insecticide with contact and stomach action for foliar, soil and stem application that is active particularly against sucking insects. The product acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; the chlorination inhibits degradation by acetylcholine-esterase. Imidacloprid is notable for its relatively low toxicity to most animals other than insects due to its specificity for this type of receptor, which is found more often in insect nervous systems and zooplankton than that of other animals. This improved ratio of toxicity allows the use of very low concentrations, making it safer for insect control than other neurotoxins (particularly organophosphates) and enabling its use in applications as diverse as flea treatments for pets, control of beetle larvae in lawns, eradication or prevention of termite infestation in buildings, and other uses where animals and people may be exposed. Imidacloprid is taken up by plant roots and diffuses in the plant vascular system, where insects ingest it by sucking the plant fluids.
