It can be phytotoxic if it is not used according to manufacturer's speciď€ cations.

It has been shown to be compatible with fungicides when used as a seed treatment to control insect pests.

MODE OF ACTION

The chemical works by interfering with the transmission of stimuli in the insect nervous system.

It causes a blockage in a type of neuronal pathway (nicotinergic) that is more abundant in insects than in warm-blooded animals (making the chemical selectively more toxic to insects than warm-blooded animals).

This blockage leads to the accumulation of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter, resulting in the insect's paralysis, and eventually death.

It is effective on contact and via stomach action.

TOXICITY

Imidacloprid is moderately toxic. It is considered non-irritating to eyes and skin, and non-sensitizing to skin. Some granular formulations may contain clays as inert ingredients that may act as eye irritants

MAJOR PESTS

Jassids

Attacks through out crop life, Eggs hatch in about 4-11 days Young nymphs feed on leaf sap for 7-12 days the winged adults live for 35-50 days feeding constantly on plant sap. It completes 7 generations in a year Damage: The adults and nymphs suck sap from leaves which turn yellow or reddish brown The leaf curls downwards, dries up and falls Insecticide Dosage/ acre Super Imida 30-50 ml

THRIPS – LIFE CYCLE

MAJOR PESTS Brown Plant Hopper

The insect sucks the sap and the leaves turn brown. Affected plant dries up and gives a scorched appearance called “hopper burn�. Circular patches of drying and lodging of matured plant. It is vector of grassy stunt, ragged stunt and wilted stunt diseases.

MAJOR PESTS

Characteristics of Brown Plant Hopper

Discrete period of seasonal appearance Low initial density Steep and steady population growth Clumped spatial distribution Violent density uctuations from year to year

BPH – LIFE CYCLE

MAJOR PESTS

White backed Plant Hopper

Nymph - White in colour and pronotum is pale yellow.

Adult - Possess a diamond like marking on the thorax and ovipositional site is black streaks.

Suck the sap and cause stunted growth. “Hopper burn� is caused in irregular patches.

MAJOR PESTS

White y

Whiteies cause stunting of plants and curling and mottling of leaves.

They may also transmit plant viruses. They excrete a sticky sugar substance called honeydew on which may grow sooty mold fungus.

MAJOR PESTS

Termites

Poor germination of setts (After Planting).Characteristic semicircular feeding marks on the leaves in the standing crop. Entire shoot dries up and can be pulled out easily.

Setts hollow inside and may be ď€ lled with soil.Sugarcane collapses if disturbed. Rind ď€ lled with mud.
