How It Works: Mode of Action
Cultivo Hero G works differently than fungicides. It targets the insect specifically:
- Systemic Absorption: The active ingredient, Imidacloprid, is absorbed by the plant roots and leaves and moves throughout the plant system.
- Nervous System Attack: When pests feed on the treated plant, the chemical disrupts their central nervous system.
- Rapid Control: This paralysis causes the insects to stop feeding immediately, leading to their elimination.
Ideal for controlling resistance in pests that are difficult to manage with older chemistries.
