Admire - Imidacloprid 70% WG - Bayer

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

• 🎯  Focused sucking-pest use: An option for the specific sap-feeding pests listed for each permitted crop, rather than every insect found in a field.
  
• 🌿  Systemic activity: Imidacloprid can enter plant tissue and act within the plant after the permitted treatment. This does not authorize an unlisted soil, seed or irrigation use.
  
• 💧  Water-dispersible granules: The WG formulation is designed to disperse in water according to its mixing directions, not to be broadcast as ready-to-use field granules.
  

Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action

1. Enters plant tissue: Systemic uptake allows imidacloprid to act within the treated plant. Use only the application route permitted for the exact crop and formulation.
   
2. Disrupts nerve messages: Imidacloprid binds at the acetylcholine site of nicotinic receptors, which help carry nerve signals in insects.
   
3. Upsets normal insect activity: Disturbed nerve signalling can cause over-excitation, sluggishness and paralysis, leading to control of susceptible insects.
   

These are linked processes of one mode of action, not three separate modes. Avoid repeated reliance on Group 4A products. Include IRAC Group 4A in resistance planning: imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and other Group 4A actives do not become different modes because their brand names differ. Combine scouting with suitable cultural and biological measures. Admire is not a fertiliser, a plant-growth regulator or a cure for an established viral infection; control and duration are not guaranteed.

Target Crops & Pests

Use the following crop–pest pairs only when included on the supplied current Indian Admire label. Confirm the complete crop-specific application directions before use.

Whitefly belongs to the tomato and potato entries here, not every listed crop. Do not extend a planthopper recommendation to rice thrips or assume all sucking pests need the same treatment.

Dosage & Application Guide

Confirm the full crop-specific directions before measuring

The product amount, water volume, application method, first-treatment crop and pest conditions, and harvest interval must be used together. No complete application programme is given here. Obtain those directions from the supplied current Indian Admire pack before application.

Measure the formulated granules accurately with a suitable weighing measure. Do not replace the amount of commercial product with the amount of pure active ingredient, use a spoonful as a dose, or borrow a millilitre rate from a liquid imidacloprid product.

A 2 g, 30 g, 75 g, 150 g or 300 g pack does not establish the area treated. No universal per-litre or tank recipe is provided; tank coverage depends on the permitted method and calibrated equipment.

Missing water or harvest information does not mean that no water or restriction applies, or that immediate harvest is allowed. The pre-harvest interval is the time from the final application to harvest; worker re-entry and repeat-treatment intervals are separate. No fixed repeat, rainfast or re-entry interval is implied.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Identify the crop and pest: Scout the crop and match the exact pest before deciding on treatment under the current pack directions. Do not invent a pest-count threshold or routine calendar spray.
  
• Match the pack and method: Confirm Bayer Admire and Imidacloprid 70% WG. Do not substitute another concentration, formulation or overseas label. Systemic activity does not make soil drenching, seed dressing or irrigation delivery interchangeable with crop spraying.
  
• Prepare and measure carefully: Follow the pack’s mixing sequence, water and agitation directions. For permitted spray use, calibrate the equipment for the measured area and follow the specified nozzle and coverage instructions.
  
• Protect surroundings: Avoid drift onto neighbouring crops. Follow the pack’s flowering, bee-protection, wind and weather restrictions; keep treatment and equipment washings away from water bodies.
  
• Check mixture permission: Do not add another pesticide, fertiliser or adjuvant unless both current labels permit the exact crop, method and proposed combination. Physical compatibility or a jar test alone does not establish permission or crop safety.
  
• Keep treatment records: Record crop, field, pest, application date, treated area and product quantity. Plan harvest and any later treatment around the pack restrictions, rather than a routine calendar.
