Ad-fyre - Imidacloprid 70% WG - Dhanuka
Ad-fyre Insecticide | Imidacloprid 70% WG
A systemic insecticide for specified sucking pests in cotton, rice, okra and cucumber. Keep its concentrated WG formulation separate from other imidacloprid products.
What it controls: The crop-specific aphids, jassids, thrips and rice hoppers listed below.
When to use it: When crop monitoring and the current label support treatment for the identified pest.
What to include: The exact WG dose, application method, water requirement and crop-specific harvest interval.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🎯Focused sucking-pest coverage: Crop-specific targets include sap-feeding insects, rather than a promise to control every insect seen in the field.
- 🌿Systemic action: The active ingredient is taken into plant tissue, helping it reach susceptible insects that feed on the treated plant.
- đź’§Dispersible granule formulation: WG granules are designed to disperse in water. They should not be confused with granules made for direct field broadcasting.
- 🔬A clearly identified active ingredient: The 70% imidacloprid composition makes the formulation easy to distinguish from lower-strength liquids and seed-treatment products.
- 🔄Useful resistance-group identification: Group 4A identifies its mode of action. Another neonicotinoid brand is not automatically a different resistance-management option.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Imidacloprid affects nerve signals in susceptible insects. “Systemic” describes movement in the plant; it does not approve an unlisted application method.
- The plant takes up the active ingredient: Label-directed treatment makes imidacloprid available in treated plant tissue.
- Nerve receptors are affected: Imidacloprid acts at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which help carry nerve messages.
- Normal insect function is disrupted: Abnormal signalling interferes with the pest’s normal activity and leads to control of susceptible insects.
Do not keep selecting Group 4A treatments simply by changing brand names. Use crop monitoring and locally appropriate, label-approved resistance management.

Dosage & Application Guide
No numerical Ad-fyre programme is supplied here. Confirm the crop-specific application method, product dose, water requirement and harvest restrictions together.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All crops listed above | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
Use the complete directions for the exact crop and pest on your supplied label.
*Dose, water and PHI remain withheld because a complete crop-specific programme is not established here. A missing harvest interval does not mean immediate harvest is permitted.
Do not transfer a rate from another imidacloprid strength, formulation, crop or application method.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the crop and pest: Compare the actual pest with the crop-specific label. Leaf damage alone does not identify the insect or prove that this product is suitable.
- Resolve the full directions first: Confirm dose, method, water requirement, timing, maximum applications and harvest restrictions before opening the container.
- Measure for the labelled basis: Use the stated amount of commercial product and the correct treated-area basis. Pack size is not an application rate.
- Follow the specified equipment and mixing method: Use only the preparation and application procedure on the supplied label. This summary does not establish a spray or drench recipe.
- Protect people and surroundings: Use the required protective equipment and avoid exposure of bystanders, pollinators and water bodies. Follow label restrictions for flowering and bee activity.
- Keep an application record: Record the crop, target pest, treatment date and amount. Check the label before any repeat application and before harvesting.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Ad-fyre a liquid insecticide?No. This product is Imidacloprid 70% WG, a water-dispersible granule formulation. Do not substitute the dose from a liquid imidacloprid product.
2. Can I broadcast these granules directly in the field?WG does not mean a ready-to-use field granule. Follow the exact application method on the Ad-fyre label; no broadcasting programme is established here.
3. Is it a treatment for all insects on cotton?No. The supported manufacturer crop row names jassids, aphids and thrips. It does not establish a blanket cotton-pest claim.
4. Why are dosage and harvest figures not shown?A complete primary crop-specific application method was not verified with the dose, water and harvest period. Partial website or retailer figures should not be combined into a new recipe.
5. Can I rotate it with any other neonicotinoid?Not simply on the basis of a different name. Imidacloprid is in Group 4A, as are several other neonicotinoids. Account for the active ingredient group when planning treatments.

Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling pesticides. Wash exposed skin after work and change contaminated clothing.
Keep the original labelled container securely closed and away from children, animals, food, feed and drinking water. Prevent drift, spillage and equipment washings from reaching ponds, streams, wells or neighbouring crops. Do not reuse empty pesticide containers; follow the label and local disposal requirements.
For accidental exposure or suspected poisoning, stop work and obtain medical help promptly. Take the product label with you so the clinician can identify the formulation. Follow the label first-aid directions; do not invent a home treatment.
