Mode of Action:

Neonicotinoid insecticides act as agonists of the acetylcholine receptor. That is, they mimic the action of the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine (ACh). Although cholinesterase is not affected by these insecticides, the nerve is continually stimulated by the neonicotinoid itself, and the end result is similar to that caused by cholinesterase inhibitors – overstimulation of the nervous system leads to poisoning and death. Fortunately, the neonicotinoids are a closer mimic for the insect’s ACh than for human ACh, giving this class of insecticides more specificity for insects and less ability to poison humans

Action on Seed:

Applying the imidacloprid 70WS directly to the seed disinfects its surface. Soon after sowing, the product forms a protective zone directly around the seed grain. As soon as the tender roots emerge, they absorb the systemic agent. The plant’s sap carries it from the roots to its upper leaves. In this way the seedling can be protected against sucking pest for next 30 ~ 35 days resulting in better beginning of the crop.
