Ingavit

Systemic protection: The science behind Ingavit

The efficacy of the "Ingavit" plant protection product is rooted in its active ingredient, imidacloprid, formulated as a water-soluble concentrate. As a neonicotinoid, imidacloprid targets the central nervous system of insects by disrupting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. In practical terms, this triggers irreversible paralysis and death, regardless of whether the pest ingests the treated plant tissue or simply comes into contact with the foliage surface.

Technical formulation advantages

The choice of a water-soluble concentrate ensures rapid absorption into the plant's vascular system (xylem). This systemic movement is crucial for protecting crops like apple trees, vineyards, and potatoes. Because the active substance moves through the plant, newly emerged shoots remain protected from pests such as aphids or the Colorado potato beetle for a significant period following application.

• Extended Residual Control: The systemic mode of action provides a protection window of 20–30 days, effectively suppressing pest populations.
• Broad Spectrum: Engineered to manage both sucking and chewing insects, including the San Jose scale (California scale) and apple sucker (apple psyllid).
• Field Application: Designed for spray application during the vegetative stage to ensure optimal coverage and penetration.

Regulatory compliance and safety

Classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, "Ingavit" requires standard safety protocols during handling and application. The product is manufactured by Zhahai Qiaoji Overseas Trade Co. Ltd., China, commissioned by PP "Chemiline Agro", Ukraine, and is limited to 1–2 applications per season to prevent the development of resistance. Adhering to the pre-harvest interval of 20–30 days is mandatory to ensure the safety and quality of the final harvest, making this an essential tool for professional crop management.
