Key features:

Imidacloprid is a broad-spectrum insecticide used in agriculture for controlling various pests, particularly sucking insects, soil insects, and termites.it is a widely used neonicotinoid insecticide in agriculture for crop protection, particularly effective against sucking and piercing pests. It’s known for its systemic action, meaning it’s absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout, making it effective against insects that feed on the plant’s tissues.

Mechanism of Action:

Imidacloprid, a widely used insecticide, works by interfering with the insect nervous system, specifically targeting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which are crucial for nerve impulse transmission. This interference disrupts the insect’s ability to communicate and control muscle function, leading to paralysis and eventual death. Imidacloprid also has systemic properties, meaning it can be absorbed by the plant roots and distributed throughout the plant, providing protection from feeding insects.

Application:
