Imidon

Securing your crop: Working with Imidon

When you are planting, every decision counts. Protecting your seeds against wireworms, aphids, and beetles isn't just about chemicals; it's about insurance. Because it is based on imidacloprid, it moves through the emerging plant, protecting it from both soil-borne and early-season pests.

Operating and application nuances

• Mixing process: Since it comes as a powder, ensure your seed treatment machine has a strong, consistent agitator. Proper dispersion is key to preventing sedimentation and ensuring every seed gets the right dose.
• Systemic protection: Unlike surface-only products, Imidon is absorbed by the seed and seedling. This provides a long-lasting window of protection against pests like cicadellids, which often attack as soon as the plant breaks the surface.
• Field performance: For corn growers, the biggest headache is often wireworms.

Safety and efficiency tips

While the product is effective, it falls under the 3rd hazard class, so don’t take shortcuts with safety. Always wear respirators when handling the powder to avoid inhalation. When calibrating your machinery, focus on the nozzle pressure to ensure an even coating. It’s a low-maintenance, high-impact solution for modern farms.
