Product Information
Mode of Action
Imidacloprid binds irreversibly to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in the central nervous system of insects. This binding causes hyperexcitation of the nerves, followed by paralysis and death. Its systemic nature allows it to be absorbed by the plant and distributed to new growth, protecting against sap-feeding pests.
