Imidacloprid 30.5% SC
Imidacloprid 30.5% SC is a trusted systemic insecticide formulated as a Suspension Concentrate, designed to give farmers strong, reliable control over a wide range of sap-sucking pests. Belonging to the neonicotinoid class of chemicals, it works as an insect neurotoxin that targets the central nervous system of pests, making it one of the most widely used insecticide chemistries for sucking pest management in Indian agriculture.
How Imidacloprid 30.5% SC Works
This insecticide is readily taken up by the plant and distributed throughout its tissues, including translaminar movement that allows it to reach pests hiding on the underside of leaves. Once absorbed by an insect, it disturbs the normal signal transmission system in the pest’s nervous system, leading to excitation of nerve cells. This disorder in nervous system function ultimately leads to the death of the treated insect, giving farmers dependable control even against fast-moving or hard-to-reach pests.
Why Farmers Choose This Insecticide
One of the key advantages of the SC formulation is how it enhances wetting, spreading, and absorption on the leaf surface compared to older formulation types. This means the spray solution covers the crop more evenly and is absorbed more efficiently by the plant, leading to better overall pest control from each application. Being systemic in nature, it is also considered relatively safer for natural enemies in the field, since it acts selectively on pests that feed directly on the treated plant rather than affecting beneficial insects on contact.
This insecticide is particularly valued for its broad usefulness — suitable for soil, seed, and foliar application, it effectively controls rice hoppers, whiteflies, aphids, jassids, thrips, and termites across crops like cotton, paddy, sugarcane, mango, groundnut, grapes, chillies, and tomato. Its root-systemic action also makes it a recognized option for termite management, with the product listed by the Bureau of Indian Standards as an approved termiticide for both pre and post-construction applications, showing just how reliable and well-established this active ingredient is in pest control.
Key Benefits
- Controls aphids, jassids, whiteflies, thrips, and plant hoppers
- Effective against rice hoppers and termites
- Systemic action with translaminar movement through the plant
- SC formulation improves wetting, spreading, and leaf absorption
- Relatively safer for natural enemies due to selective action
- Suitable for soil, seed, and foliar application
- Ideal for use in Integrated Pest Management programs
Why Crop Nutrition Matters Alongside Pest Control
Strong, well-nourished crops respond better to pest control and recover faster from any feeding damage. Products like Fulvic Acid 80% help speed up nutrient absorption to support quicker recovery after pest pressure, while Power PGR Liquid helps the plant focus its renewed energy on better flowering and fruit setting through the rest of the season.
Safety Tips & Precautions
- Shake the bottle well before measuring — SC formulations can settle on standing
- Add the product to a small volume of water first and stir well before pouring into the sprayer tank
- Wear gloves, mask, and protective clothing while mixing and spraying
- Highly toxic to bees — do not spray near flowering crops or during active bee foraging hours
- Keep spray away from ponds, rivers, canals, and all open water bodies
- Maintain the recommended pre-harvest interval before harvesting for market
- Triple rinse empty containers, puncture, and dispose of as per local waste regulations
- Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly with soap after spraying
- Keep completely out of reach of children and farm animals
