Volcano, imidacloprid 17.8% SL, is a systemic insecticide that is commonly used in agriculture to protect crops from pests. It works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and eventually leading to their death. It is used as a foliar spray for the control of sucking and some other insects in different crops. As a systemic neonicotinoid pesticide, imidacloprid can be transported both upward and downward within plants. The traditional uses of imidacloprid include foliar spraying, seed dressing and soil treatment. These methods form a vital component of protection for many crop species. Foliar spraying effectively controls destructive defoliating insects such as butterflies, moths, leaf beetles, grasshoppers and sawflies.
