Rotaprid SL is a systemic insecticide containing 17.8% imidacloprid as the active ingredient. It is a soluble liquid (SL) formulation that is recommended for the control of a wide range of sucking pests in cotton, maize, vegetables, and ornamentals.

Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide that acts as a contact and systemic poison. It disrupts the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nervous system of insects, which leads to paralysis and death. Rotaprid SL is a fast-acting insecticide that provides long-lasting protection against sucking pests.
