Imfi is a powerful insecticide brought to you by Sumitomo Chemical India Ltd. It's specifically formulated to target soil-dwelling insects, providing long-lasting protection for your crops. This insecticide boasts a unique combination of two active ingredients:
Imidacloprid 40%: A neonicotinoid insecticide that disrupts the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death. It has systemic action, meaning it's absorbed by the plant and transported throughout its tissues.
Fipronil 40%: A phenylpyrazole insecticide that also disrupts the nervous system of insects. It acts through contact and ingestion, providing both immediate and residual control.
This dual mode of action makes Imfi highly effective against a broad spectrum of soil insects and helps to prevent the development of resistance.
Key Features and Benefits:
Dual Mode of Action: Imfi combines two different modes of action, providing enhanced efficacy and minimizing the risk of resistance development.
Broad-Spectrum Control: It effectively controls a wide range of soil-dwelling insects, including White Grubs, Termites, and other soil pests.
Systemic and Contact Action: Imfi offers both systemic and contact activity, ensuring that insects are targeted both within the plant and in the surrounding soil.
Long-lasting Protection: It provides long-lasting residual control, reducing the need for frequent applications.
Enhanced Root Growth: Imfi has been shown to promote root growth, leading to healthier plants and improved yields.
Improved Plant Growth: By protecting plants from soil insects, Imfi contributes to overall plant health and vigor.
