GROWPRID 700 WDG 50GM

Active Ingredient & Mode of Action

• Active Ingredient: Acetamiprid 700 g/kg

• Formulation: 700 WDG (Water Dispersible Granule)

• IRAC Group: 4A (Neonicotinoid)

• Mode of Action: Acetamiprid acts as a nicotinic agonist that binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in the insect nervous system. This causes continuous nerve stimulation, leading to hyperactivity, muscle spasms, paralysis, and eventual death of the pest. Its systemic and translaminar properties allow it to move within the plant and protect both treated and untreated surfaces.
