FAQs for the product of Sumitomo M-Con Super Imidacloprid 30.5% SC Insecticide
1. How does Imidacloprid protect plants from pests?
Ans. Imidacloprid is a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide that is absorbed by the roots or leaves and moves throughout the plant via the xylem. It targets the insect nervous system by binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, causing paralysis and death when pests feed on treated plants

2. Which pests does M‑Con Super control best?
Ans. It excels against piercing–sucking insects such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, jassids, and brown planthoppers. It may also suppress certain soil pests and larvae, making it versatile across many crops
3. How quickly will I see pest control?
Ans. Effects begin quickly—pest feeding stops within hours, and visible mortality usually occurs within 1–3 days on most sucking pests
4. Which crops can safely use this product?
Ans. It’s approved for a wide range of crops including rice, cotton, vegetables (tomato, chili), sugarcane, groundnut, citrus, mango, and ornamental plants
5. Can using imidacloprid impact beneficial insects or the environment?
Ans. Yes—neonicotinoids are harmful to bees, aquatic life, and birds, and are known to persist in nectar, pollen, soil, and water
To minimize risk, avoid spraying during bloom and wooded water edges, and use buffer zones.
6. Does imidacloprid pose a risk of pest resistance?
Ans. Unfortunately, yes. Resistance—especially in pests like Dalbulus and potato beetles—has been documented. For sustainable use, follow IRAC Group 4A resistance management guidelines by rotating to other modes of action regularly
7. How long does the product remain active in the plant and soil?
Ans. Its systemic nature provides long residual protection in plant tissues. In soil, it binds to organic matter, degrades gradually, and can leach in light soils—but rarely enters groundwater unless soils are sandy and shallower-than-usual water tables
