Save the Bees, Save the World
Imidacloprid
Invented
Imidacloprid was invented by Nihon Tokusku and patented on March 3, 1988.
Purpose
Imidacloprid is used to control bugs and many animals. The product controls rice hoppers, leaf hoppers, plant hoppers, aphids, whitefly, soil insects, termites, and Colorado beetles.
Uses
Imidacloprid is used for seed dressing, soil treatment, and foliar treatment in crops. The crops include rice, cotton, cereal, maize, sugar beet, potatoes, vegetables, citrus fruit, and stone fruit.
How It Works
Imidacloprid works differently from insecticides that are being sold. Imidacloprid stimulates certain nerve cells by acting on a receptor protein. Imidacloprid targets the pest’s feeding activity and they die within one or two days.
Active Ingredient In
Kohinor, Admire, Advantage, Gaucho, Merit, Confidor, Hacikusan, Premise, Prothor, and Winner.
Banned in France and Switzerland
There was a mass poising of bees and millions were killed. BAYER-pesticide and maize-seed GAUCHO is blamed for the death of hundreds of thousands of bee colonies. France had banned these products almost ten years ago. French bee keepers say they lost ninety million bees by this pesticide from the year 1994-2004.
