Bombardir

Systemic Protection: The Mechanics of Imidacloprid

The «Bombardir» insecticide from Agricopter Asia Limited is built on Imidacloprid, a primary representative of the neonicotinoid class. The technical efficacy of the product relies on its ability to block the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the pest's nervous system. Unlike contact-based agents, the systemic action of Imidacloprid allows the substance to penetrate the plant's vascular system. It is rapidly translocated throughout the tissues, rendering the plant's sap toxic to insects—a crucial factor when targeting pests hiding on the underside of leaves or within young shoots.

Formulation and Application Features

The product is supplied in the form of water-soluble granules. This technology minimizes dusting during the preparation of tank mixes and ensures a high degree of homogenization of the working solution. Given the systemic nature of the product, it demonstrates excellent resistance to wash-off by rain, which is critical in regions with unpredictable weather patterns.

• Control Spectrum: Effectively suppresses populations of Colorado potato beetles, aphids, thrips, various bug species, and leafhoppers on vegetable and fruit crops.
• Application Technology: Foliar spraying on growing crops at a rate of up to 0.5 L/ha (depending on the target pest).
• Safety Regulations: Classified as Hazard Class 3, requiring standard personal protective equipment. The pre-harvest interval is 20 days, which is necessary for the complete degradation of the active ingredient within plant tissues.

Using «Bombardir» is justified for apple trees, pears, potatoes, and nightshade crops such as tomatoes and eggplants. Utilizing this plant protection product allows for both the immediate suppression of current pest outbreaks and the provision of a prolonged protective effect through the accumulation of the active substance in the plant's growth points.
