Emerald

Emerald 200SL is a premium-quality systemic insecticide designed to protect crops and structures from destructive pests. Engineered for high efficacy and reliability, it is especially effective against sucking insects in agricultural crops and termites in construction. Its broad-spectrum activity, systemic action, and long-lasting residual effect make it a valuable asset for farmers, gardeners, and builders striving for robust pest control solutions.

Active Ingredient and Mode of Action

Active Ingredient:

Imidacloprid (200 g/L): Imidacloprid, a neonicotinoid, is the active compound in Emerald 200SL. It is widely recognized for its systemic properties and its ability to combat a variety of pests by targeting their nervous systems.

Mechanism of Action: Imidacloprid disrupts the nicotinergic neuronal pathway by binding to acetylcholine receptors, causing a block in neurotransmission. This results in paralysis and eventual death of the insect.

Systemic Properties: Once absorbed, Emerald 200SL moves through the plant's vascular system to provide comprehensive protection.

Unique Features of Emerald 200SL

Systemic Action: Ensures deep penetration into plant tissues, enabling protection from within against sucking pests.

Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Targets multiple insect species, including aphids, thrips, whiteflies, mealybugs, and termites.

Residual Effect: Offers long-lasting pest control, reducing the frequency of reapplications and labor costs.

Versatility: Effective on various crops, including roses, carnations, fruit trees, and vegetables. It also serves as a reliable termiticide in building construction.

Temperature and Climate Tolerance: Retains efficacy under diverse environmental conditions, ensuring consistent performance.

Applications by Crop Type and Use Case

1. Agricultural Crops:

Roses and Carnations: Controls thrips, aphids, and whiteflies that damage flowers and reduce quality.

Vegetables (e.g., tomatoes, cabbages): Protects against pests such as whiteflies, aphids, and mealybugs.

Fruit Trees (e.g., citrus, mangoes): Applied as a drench to safeguard against aphids, scales, and whiteflies.

2. Termite Control in Construction:

Pre-Construction Treatment: Emerald 200SL is applied to the soil and construction wood to prevent termite infestations. Its systemic and residual properties provide long-term structural protection.

Advantages

Enhanced Crop Protection: Promotes healthier growth by eliminating pests early and protecting crops throughout the growing season.

Termite Management: Its effectiveness as a termiticide ensures that both wood and soil are safeguarded during and after building construction.

Economic Value: Fewer applications result in cost savings for farmers and builders.

Selective Action: Minimal impact on non-target plants and organisms, supporting sustainable practices.

Detailed Application Guidelines

Dilution Rates:

Roses, Vegetables, Carnations: Mix 0.5–0.75 ml per liter of water.

Fruit Trees: Use 2 ml per liter of water and apply as a root drench.

Construction Wood & Soil: Mix 6 ml per liter of water for termite control.
