General Information:

Jumbo is a systemic insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid class of insecticides. It is effective against a wide range of sucking pests, including aphids, thrips, whiteflies, leafhoppers, and beetles. Jumbo is particularly effective in controlling pests that have developed resistance to other insecticides.

Active Ingredient:

Jumbo contains the active ingredient Imidacloprid, a chloronicotinyl insecticide that acts as an agonist at the insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR).

Mode of Action:

Jumbo is a systemic insecticide, meaning that it is absorbed by the plant and transported throughout its tissues. This allows Jumbo to protect the entire plant from pests, including those that are hidden in the plant's tissues. Jumbo works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, causing them to become paralyzed and die.

Application:

Jumbo is available in a variety of formulations, including soluble granules (SG), wettable powder (WP), and emulsifiable concentrate (EC). It can be applied to a wide range of crops, including vegetables, fruits, and field crops. Always follow the label directions for the specific formulation you are using.

Method of Application:

Jumbo can be applied using a variety of methods, including foliar spraying, soil drenching, and seed treatment. The most common method of application is foliar spraying, which involves spraying the insecticide onto the leaves of the plants. Soil drenching involves applying the insecticide to the soil around the base of the plants, and seed treatment involves coating the seeds with the insecticide before planting.

Precautions:

Jumbo is relatively safe when used according to label directions. However, it is important to avoid contact with skin and eyes, and to wear protective clothing when applying the insecticide. Jumbo is also toxic to bees and other beneficial insects, so it should not be applied when these insects are active.
