Product Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

• Systemic Action: Absorbed into plant tissues for internal crop protection.
• Sucking Pest Management: Controls susceptible aphids, jassids, thrips, whiteflies and plant hoppers according to crop-specific recommendations.
• Neonicotinoid Chemistry: Acts on the insect nervous system and disrupts normal nerve-signal transmission.
• Multiple Crop Uses: Registered uses include several field, vegetable, fruit and oilseed crops.
• Termite Management: Registered against termites in Sugarcane.
• Low-Dose Formulation: Effective crop-specific application rates are comparatively low.

Mode of Action

Imidacloprid acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system. This interferes with normal transmission of nerve impulses and results in loss of normal insect function.

Sacdor should primarily be described as a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide with nerve action.
