acrinathrin insecticide

Imidacloprid is currently the best selling insecticide in the world and is approved for use in more than 100 countries and 140 agricultural crops worldwide.

The success of imidacloprid is based on its wide activity spectrum, unique mode of action, systemic effect, versatile application and a favourable environmental and toxicological profile.

Imidacloprid is used for control of a wide range of chewing and sucking insect pests in field crops, fruits and vegetables. The non-crop uses also have significant importance.

The range of application method options is numerous. Imidacloprid can be used for foliar, soil and seed treatment applications.

Imidacloprid has a very positive toxicological profile due to low mammalian toxicity and environmental impact.

Cheminova sells imidacloprid products for foliar, soil drench and seed treatment uses worldwide.

 

Malathion is one of the largest selling organophosphorous insecticides in the world and one of the most versatile products. Cheminova is the leading manufacturer of malathion and the product is sold worldwide.
