What are the benefits of imidacloprid seed dressing? A detailed explanation of its main effects

What does imidacloprid seed dressing do? What effects does imidacloprid seed dressing have? Why use imidacloprid seed dressing? Gengzhongbang Planting Network gives a brief introduction below for netizens' reference.

Generally, most imidacloprid product formulations are for spray use, while imidacloprid preparations used for seed and soil treatment account for very few. Imidacloprid includes emulsifiable concentrates, soluble liquid concentrates, microemulsions, wettable powders, water-dispersible granules, suspension concentrates and effervescent tablets; those that can be used for soil or seed treatment include seed treatment dispersible powders, suspension seed coating agents, wet seed dressings and so on.

After using imidacloprid seed dressing, it can provide lasting control of many pests, eliminate plant viral diseases, promote plant growth and the ability to withstand adverse environments, promote tillering, and improve seed-setting rate and yield.

1. Effect of imidacloprid seed dressing on the protective enzyme system and root vigor in plants: at appropriate concentrations, imidacloprid can effectively enhance the activity of the protective enzyme system and root vigor in plants, thereby promoting plant growth and improving plant vigor.

2. The effect of imidacloprid seed dressing on seed germination is mainly concentrated in two aspects: before and after seed germination it is reflected as a growth-regulating effect, while after seed germination it is manifested as stimulated growth.

3. In seed dressing applications it has been found that imidacloprid seed dressing of monocotyledonous plants such as wheat, corn and sorghum can control aphids throughout the entire growth period; because imidacloprid can be efficiently absorbed by plants in the soil, can be metabolized in plants into substances with higher insecticidal activity, and after imidacloprid gradually decomposes, at non-lethal doses it can also exert antifeedant and repellent effects on pests. In addition, due to the special translocation mechanism of imidacloprid in some plants, the greatest advantage of imidacloprid seed dressing is its long residual effect, especially against pests with piercing-sucking mouthparts and some coleopteran pests such as white grubs.

4. Plant viral diseases in general are a major problem in the plant protection field at present, especially since no agent with truly therapeutic activity against plant viral diseases has been found so far. Almost all plant viral diseases are transmitted by pests with piercing-sucking mouthparts, so preventing pests from feeding is the most reliable means of eliminating viral diseases. Tests show that after imidacloprid seed dressing of corn, the number of insects per plant is significantly reduced, indicating that it does indeed have a clear repellent effect on the small brown planthopper, and it has outstanding effects on corn rough dwarf disease transmitted by the small brown planthopper, with a significant yield-increasing effect.

5. After using imidacloprid seed dressing, it can effectively prevent birds from digging out and eating seeds that have not yet sprouted, while not poisoning the birds.
