KU Imidacloprid 70% WG is a systemic insecticide containing active ingredient Imidacloprid, which belongs to the new nitroguanidine group.
KU Imidacloprid 70% WG is a broad-spectrum insecticide, for use in a large number of crops for controlling sucking and some soil pests.
KU Imidacloprid 70% WG acts as stomach and contact insecticide and has relatively long lasting effect.
KU Imidacloprid 70% WG acts by interfering with transmission of nerve impulse in insects, unlike organophosphorus compounds, carbamates and pyrethroids, which act on nerve fiber membrane proteins.
KU Imidacloprid 70% WG with this new mode of action gives effective control of insect strains which have developed resistance to traditionally used insecticides.
KU Imidacloprid 70% WG with this new action of mechanism is ideally suited for rotation with other insecticides in plant protection schedule sequence.
KU Imidacloprid 70% WG is highly effective against sucking pests like aphids, jassids and thrips.
KU Imidacloprid 70% WG is of low toxicity with minimum impact on environment and an ideal insecticide for use under Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.

Call a physician immediately if any symptoms of poisoning appear in a person who is using or has recently used this insecticide.
Mode of Action:
KU Imidacloprid 70% WG works by interfering with the transmission of stimuli in the insect nervous system. Specifically, it causes blockage in a type of neuronal pathway (nicotinergic) that is more abundant in insects than in warm-blooded animals (making the chemical selectively more toxic to insects than warm-blooded animals). This blockage leads to the accumulation of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter, resulting in the paralysis and eventual death of the insect pests.
