Super Imida (Imidacloprid 30.5% SC) - Premium Insecticide & Termiticide
The advanced "Super" formula for total protection against sucking pests in crops and termites in buildings.
Super Imida by HPM is a high-concentration systemic insecticide formulated as a 30.5% Suspension Concentrate (SC). Unlike older powder or solvent-based chemicals, this liquid technology is safer for leaves and offers superior coverage.
Two-in-One Power: It serves as a powerful defense for high-value crops like Cotton and Paddy against resistant pests (like Hoppers and Thrips) and acts as a professional-grade, non-repellent treatment for termite control in construction.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Superior Efficacy: Higher concentration (30.5%) means you need less dose per acre compared to standard 17.8% formulations.
-
🛡️
Non-Repellent Termite Control: Termites cannot detect the chemical; they pass through it, infecting the colony through the "Transfer Effect."
-
⏳
Long-Lasting Protection: Provides 10–14 days of residual control in crops and creates a 5-year+ safety barrier for buildings.
-
🌧️
Rainfast Technology: Absorbs into the plant system quickly and is resistant to wash-off by rain within 2–3 hours of spraying.
-
🌿
Crop Safety (No Burn): The SC water-based formulation is gentle on sensitive crops like vegetables, preventing leaf burn (phytotoxicity).

How It Works: Mode of Action
Super Imida attacks the central nervous system of insects. It mimics natural neurotransmitters but cannot be removed by the insect's body, leading to fatal over-stimulation.
- Systemic Absorption: When sprayed, the active ingredient penetrates the leaf or root and travels upward through the plant's vascular system (Xylem).
- Translaminar Action: It moves from the top of the leaf to the bottom, killing pests like Aphids and Whiteflies hiding on the underside.
- Nervous System Failure: Upon ingestion or contact, it binds irreversibly to nerve receptors, causing paralysis and cessation of feeding, followed by death.
For Termites: It works via the "Domino Effect." Infected termites return to the nest and spread the toxicant to the Queen and colony members.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop / Sector | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Aphids, Jassids, Thrips, Whiteflies |
| Paddy (Rice) | Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), White Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH) |
| Building Construction | Subterranean Termites |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop / Use | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 24 – 30 ml | 200 – 300 L | ~0.15 ml/L | 26 Days |
| Paddy (Rice) | 24 – 30 ml | 200 – 300 L | ~0.15 ml/L | 37 Days |
| Termites (Civil Work) | N/A | N/A | 2.1 ml/L | N/A |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the early stage of pest infestation (vegetative or squaring stage). For termites, treat during pre-construction or via rodding/drilling for existing buildings.
- Mixing: Do NOT mix with highly alkaline substances (like Bordeaux mixture). Ensure thorough agitation before use.
- Coverage: For crops, ensure the spray reaches the underside of leaves where aphids and hoppers hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Highly toxic to bees; avoid spraying during active flowering.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is Super Imida (30.5% SC) better than the standard 17.8% SL?
The 30.5% SC formulation is more concentrated, requiring a much smaller dose per acre. It is also safer for plants (less risk of burning) and easier to transport.
2. Can I use this for termite control in my house?
Yes. It is highly effective for both pre-construction and post-construction termite treatment. Mix 2.1 ml per liter of water for best results.
3. What is the rainfastness of this product?
Super Imida becomes rainfast approximately 2–3 hours after application. Rain after this period will not wash away the protection.
4. Is there an antidote for accidental poisoning?
There is no specific antidote. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. In case of ingestion, seek immediate medical attention.
5. Will this kill bees?
Yes, Imidacloprid is toxic to honeybees. Do not apply when honeybees are actively foraging or when the crop is in full bloom.
