Sumitomo Dzire Systemic Insecticide - Imidacloprid 70% WG

Highly Concentrated Systemic Insecticide for Effective Sucking Pest Control

Sumitomo Dzire is a premium systemic insecticide containing Imidacloprid 70% WG. It is formulated to provide highly effective control of major sucking insect pests in a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops. The water-dispersible granule (WG) formulation ensures easy mixing, excellent dispersion and uniform spray coverage.

After application, Imidacloprid is rapidly absorbed by the plant and moves systemically through its vascular system. Feeding insects ingest the active ingredient while sucking plant sap, resulting in quick feeding cessation and effective pest control.
