Common name: Imidacloprid （CAS NO: 138261-41-3）
IUPAC name: (E)-1-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)-N-nitroimidazolidin-2-ylideneamine.
Chemical Abstracts name: (2E)-1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine
CAS No: 138261-41-3
Mode of action:
Imidacloprid acts by contact and ingestion as an antagonist of the post-synaptic nicotinic receptors in the insect central nervous system, blocking acetylcholine at the post-synaptic membrane and impairing normal nerve function. The target pest's feeding activity ceases within minutes to hours and death usually occurs between 1-7 days depending on mode of application.
The compound has a systemic translaminar activity and is readily absorbed from the roots and distributed acropetally. This property is an important pre-requisite for soil applications such as in-furrow, granular, seed treatment and seedling-box applications in rice. Imidacloprid shows high selectivity, quick knock-down effect and long residual activity. It is effective against adult and larval stages of sucking and biting insects, soil insects and termites but has no effect on nematodes and spiders.
Application:
Trials in Bangladesh in 2000/1 (IPPC, 2004) on cotton showed that imidacloprid gave up to 70% control of aphids and jassids 75 days after sowing at an application rate of 4.5 g/kg seed. 3.5 and 2.5 g/kg seed gave around 60% and 65% control, respectively. Imidacloprid gave high levels of control of whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) in trials on greenhouse strawberries in California (IPPC, 2004).
