Insecticides
VERNON 20 SL
INTRODUCTION: Imidacloprid works differently to other insecticides presently being marketed (i.e. carbamates,organophosphates and pyrethroids). The mode of action is based on interference of the transmission of impulses inthe nerve system of insects. Similar to the naturally occurring signal-transmitting acetylcholine, imidaclopridstimulates certain nerve cells by acting on a receptor protein. In contrast to acetylcholine, which is quickly degradedby the enzyme acetylcholine-esterase, imidacloprid is inactivated either very slowly or not at all. It has both contactand ingestion activity. The target pest’s feeding activity ceases within minutes to hours, and death occurs usuallywithin 24 – 48 hours but can take up to 7 days depending on the mode of application. As to its performance: goodreliable control, high selectivity, quick knock-down/protection and long residual activity are key features.
