How Does Kisan Imida Super Work?

Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide belonging to IRAC Group 4A. It affects nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system, interrupting normal nerve transmission and leading to paralysis and death of susceptible insects.

The active ingredient is systemic and can move within plant tissues after suitable application, helping control target insects that feed on treated plants.

When and How to Apply

1. Inspect the crop and identify the target sucking pest correctly.
2. Apply only when pest monitoring indicates that treatment is necessary.
3. Measure the recommended product quantity according to the crop-specific label.
4. Prepare the spray mixture using clean water and suitable spraying equipment.
5. Maintain sufficient coverage of pest-affected plant parts.
6. Prefer calm weather and avoid spraying during strong wind or imminent rainfall.
7. Observe the specified pre-harvest waiting period.

Important Precautions

• Read the product label and leaflet before application.
• Use only for approved crop-pest combinations.
• Wear gloves, protective clothing and suitable eye and respiratory protection as directed.
• Avoid application when bees are actively foraging because imidacloprid can be highly toxic to pollinators.
• Prevent spray drift and contamination of water bodies.
• Do not repeatedly use insecticides from IRAC Group 4A without rotating to another effective approved mode-of-action group.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose or number of applications.
• Check tank-mix compatibility and label permissions before mixing with other crop protection products.
• Keep the insecticide away from children, animals, food and drinking water.
