It is a systemic insecticide with contact, ingestion mode of action. It belongs to the neonicitinoid, which affects nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system of insects. Imidacloprid is systemically absorbed from the root and released as an acropetal mechanism in the plant. The systemic effects of Imidacloprid do not diminish its effect because of rainfall and rinsing on the plant surface.
