EBS Immediate Imidacloprid 30.5% SC

1. Product Overview:
Imidacloprid 30.5% SC (Suspension Concentrate) is a broad-spectrum, systemic insecticide from the neonicotinoid group. It is highly effective against various sucking, soil-dwelling, and foliar-feeding pests. The SC formulation ensures improved adhesion, better rainfastness, and longer residual action. It is widely used in agriculture for foliar, soil, and seed treatment applications, offering prolonged protection with lower doses.

2. Mode of Action:
Imidacloprid acts by binding to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the insect’s nervous system. This disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses, leading to paralysis and eventual death. Its systemic nature allows it to be absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout the plant tissues, providing protection from inside out.

3. Target Pests:
Imidacloprid 30.5% SC effectively controls a wide range of insect pests, including:

• Aphids (Aphididae)

• Jassids (Cicadellidae)

• Whiteflies (Aleyrodidae)

• Thrips (Thripidae)

• Brown Planthoppers (BPH)

• Leafhoppers

• Shoot and root borers

• Termites

4. Crops:
This insecticide is used on various crops, including:

• Cotton: To control aphids, jassids, and whiteflies.

• Rice: For effective management of brown planthoppers.

• Sugarcane: Controls termites and early shoot borers.

• Vegetables (Tomato, Okra, Brinjal): Manages sucking pests like aphids and thrips.

• Fruits (Mango, Citrus, Grapes): Protects from hoppers and psyllids.

• Ornamental plants and nurseries: Prevents infestation by sucking insects.

5. Application and Dosage:

• Foliar Spray: 0.25–0.5 ml per liter of water (depending on the crop and pest intensity).

• Soil Drenching: 2–4 ml per liter of water for soil-dwelling pests like termites.

• Seed Treatment: 5–7 ml per kg of seeds for early-stage protection.

• Method: Ensure even coverage on both sides of leaves and soil application where necessary.

6. Benefits:

• Broad-spectrum control: Effective against multiple sucking and soil pests.

• Systemic action: Long-lasting protection as the insecticide spreads throughout the plant.

• Rainfastness: Quickly absorbed by the plant, making it resistant to wash-off by rain.

• Low dosage requirement: Offers effective control at lower doses, making it cost-effective.

• Improved crop health: Reduces pest damage, enhancing crop quality and yield.

• User-friendly formulation: The SC form ensures easy handling, mixing, and application.

7. Precautions and Safety:

• Use protective gear (gloves, mask, and goggles) during handling and application.

• Avoid application during flowering stages to protect pollinators like bees.

• Follow the recommended pre-harvest interval (PHI) to avoid residue issues.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from food, feed, and water sources.

8. Environmental Impact:

• Toxicity: Imidacloprid is highly toxic to bees and aquatic organisms. Avoid spraying near water bodies.

• Persistence: It is moderately persistent in soil, providing extended protection against soil pests.

• Pollinator safety: To minimize impact on bees, avoid application during blooming periods.

✅ Conclusion:
Imidacloprid 30.5% SC is a powerful and versatile systemic insecticide, ideal for controlling a wide range of sucking and soil pests across various crops. Its enhanced rainfastness, longer residual effect, and broad-spectrum efficacy make it a preferred choice for farmers seeking reliable pest management and improved agricultural productivity.
