Imidacloprid 70% WDG Systemic Insecticide for Crop Pest Control

Imidacloprid 70% WDG is a high-concentration systemic insecticide formulated as water-dispersible granules for the management of economically important insect pests in agricultural crops. With 70% imidacloprid as the active ingredient, this formulation is particularly suitable for crop protection programs targeting piercing and sucking insects.

Imidacloprid belongs to the neonicotinoid class of insecticides and is widely used in agricultural pest-management programs around the world. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency describes imidacloprid and related neonicotinoids as systemic insecticides used across a wide variety of crops.

What Is Imidacloprid 70% WDG?

Imidacloprid 70% WDG contains:

Active Ingredient: Imidacloprid
Content: 70%
Formulation: WDG – Water Dispersible Granules
Product Type: Systemic Insecticide
CAS Number: 138261-41-3
Molecular Formula: C9H10ClN5O2
Molecular Weight: 255.66 g/mol
PubChem CID: 86287518

The chemical identity, CAS number, molecular formula and molecular weight are recorded by the U.S. National Library of Medicine's PubChem database.

The WDG formulation is designed to disperse in water before application. Compared with conventional powder formulations, water-dispersible granules are convenient for handling, storage and preparation when used according to the registered product label.

Mode of Action

Imidacloprid is classified by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) as Group 4A.

Group 4A includes neonicotinoid insecticides that act as nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) competitive modulators in the insect nervous system. By disrupting normal nerve transmission, imidacloprid interferes with feeding and normal insect activity.

Imidacloprid also has systemic properties, allowing the active ingredient to be taken up by plants under appropriate registered application methods. This characteristic makes it particularly useful against insects that feed on plant sap.

Target Insect Pests

Imidacloprid 70% WDG is mainly used for the management of susceptible piercing and sucking insect pests.

Depending on crop registration and local product labels, common target pests may include:

• Aphids
• Whiteflies
• Leafhoppers
• Planthoppers
• Psyllids
• Selected thrips
• Other susceptible sucking insects

EPA assessments note that neonicotinoids including imidacloprid are particularly important for controlling piercing and sucking pests, including insects that may transmit plant diseases.

Suitable Crops

Depending on national registration requirements, imidacloprid products may be used in pest-management programs involving a broad range of agricultural crops, including:

• Cotton
• Potato
• Wheat
• Corn
• Soybean
• Tomato
• Pepper
• Leafy vegetables
• Brassica vegetables
• Fruit crops
• Selected tree crops
• Ornamental plants

EPA registration-review information documents imidacloprid use across field crops, vegetables, tree fruits and other agricultural applications. Specific approved crops and application methods vary by country and product registration.

Key Benefits of Imidacloprid 70% WDG

High-Concentration Formulation

The 70% active ingredient concentration provides a concentrated formulation suitable for professional agricultural crop-protection markets.

Systemic Activity

Imidacloprid can provide systemic activity in plants when applied according to approved use patterns, helping manage pests that feed on treated plant tissue.

Effective Against Sucking Pests

It is particularly relevant for pest-management programs targeting aphids, whiteflies, leafhoppers and other susceptible piercing and sucking insects.

Water Dispersible Granules

The WDG formulation is designed for convenient dispersion in water and practical handling during preparation.

Recognized Mode of Action

Imidacloprid belongs to IRAC Group 4A, allowing growers and crop-protection professionals to identify its mode-of-action group when developing insecticide resistance-management programs.

Resistance Management

Repeated application of insecticides with the same mode of action can increase resistance-selection pressure.

Imidacloprid should therefore be used as part of an integrated pest-management and resistance-management program. Where appropriate, rotate with insecticides from different IRAC mode-of-action groups and always follow local resistance-management recommendations and registered product labels.

Safety and Responsible Use

Imidacloprid should only be used according to the registered label in the destination market. Operators should use appropriate personal protective equipment and comply with applicable pesticide handling, storage, application, pre-harvest interval and environmental requirements.

Special attention should be given to environmental protection and pollinator risk. Regulatory authorities have identified potential exposure and ecological concerns associated with neonicotinoid insecticides, including risks involving pollinating insects.

Do not apply the product to crops, pests or application situations that are not permitted by the local registration.
