Item description
Bayer Confidor Super Product Overview
Bayer Confidor Super is a systemic insecticide formulated with Imidacloprid 30.5% SC. Bayer India lists it for selected sucking pests in cotton, paddy and chilli. Apply only to the crop-and-pest combinations authorised on the current Indian label.

How It Works
Imidacloprid is a Group 4A neonicotinoid that acts at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system. Confidor Super is systemic, so the crop, pest, rate, water volume and timing must follow the current label. Repeated use of the same mode-of-action group can increase resistance pressure.
- Confirm the target: Identify the authorised crop and pest before application.
- Measure the 30.5% SC formulation: Never substitute the rate of a 17.8% SL product.
- Rotate modes of action: Use a labelled different-group alternative when another treatment is required.
Registered Crops & Target Pests
| Crop | Target pest(s) |

Dosage, Water Volume & Waiting Period
The table retains the official Indian registration units per hectare. Do not convert these figures to a per-litre or per-pump rate without the corresponding labelled spray-water volume.
| Crop | Formulation/ha | Water/ha | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 60–75 ml | 500–750 litres | 26 days |
| Paddy | 60–75 ml | 500–750 litres | 37 days |
