Admire - Imidacloprid 70% WG - Bayer

Bayer Admire Imidacloprid 70% WG Systemic Insecticide

Bayer Admire is a systemic insecticide containing Imidacloprid 70% in a water-dispersible-granule formulation. Its verified Indian crop-use rows cover selected sucking pests in cotton, rice, okra, cucumber, tomato and potato. The target pest, dose, water volume and waiting period are crop-specific; “sucking pest control” must not be treated as permission for every crop or insect.

IRAC places Imidacloprid in Group 4A, the neonicotinoid nicotinic acetylcholine receptor competitive modulators. Bayer explains that Imidacloprid disrupts signal transmission in the insect central nervous system, producing nerve excitation, nervous-system disorder and eventual death. Group 4A classification helps resistance planning, but it does not guarantee performance against a resistant population.

Technical Specifications

Registered Crops, Pests, Dose and Waiting Period

The following values reproduce the Government of India's Major Uses of Pesticides table up to 1 February 2023 for Imidacloprid 70% WG. They remain in per-hectare units so no unsupported per-acre, per-litre, pump or tank conversion is created.

Confirm that the current physical Bayer Admire label still authorizes the crop, pest and direction before use. The current label controls if it differs from this dated Government table.

Application and Resistance Stewardship

• Identify the crop and target pest before selecting Admire; do not apply it as a general-purpose insecticide.
• Measure the current label rate accurately and calibrate equipment for its label-directed water volume and uniform coverage.
• Do not derive a per-acre, per-litre, spray-pump or tank rate from the hectare values on this page.
• Do not make repeated Group 4A treatments the default. IRAC advises avoiding treatment of successive pest generations with the same mode-of-action group.
• A later treatment, if needed, must be independently registered for the same crop and pest and selected under current label, resistance and local agronomic advice.
• This page does not authorize a tank mix, co-application, compulsory bundle or automatic spray sequence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bayer Admire?
It is a systemic Imidacloprid 70% WG insecticide for specific crop-and-sucking-pest combinations listed on the current Indian label.

Which crops are verified for Imidacloprid 70% WG?
The cited Government table lists cotton, rice, okra, cucumber, tomato and potato. Each crop has its own target pests and directions.

Is the dose the same for every crop?
No. The registered formulation dose ranges from 30-35 g/ha on cotton, rice and okra to 90 g/ha on potato, with crop-specific water volumes and waiting periods.

Can the hectare rate be converted into a dose per litre or 15-litre pump?
Not safely from the formulation figure alone. A valid concentration depends on the label-directed water volume and equipment calibration, so this page keeps the registered hectare units.

Can Admire be rotated with another Imidacloprid 70% WG brand?
No clean mode-of-action rotation is created by changing brands while retaining Imidacloprid. A true rotation decision must use an independently registered product from a suitable different IRAC group for the same crop and pest.

Safety and Use Notice

Follow their directions for protective equipment, mixing, application, re-entry, first aid, storage, disposal and environmental precautions. Keep away from children, food and feed. Do not use a damaged, leaking, unlabelled or expired pack. The physical label is the final authority if it differs from this summary.
