Clothianidin 50 % WG (CAS NO : 210880-92-5)

Clothianidin 50% WG is a water-dispersible granule formulation containing 50% clothianidin, a neonicotinoid insecticide used to control various sucking and chewing pests in agricultural settings.

Clothianidin acts on the central nervous system of insects by binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, leading to paralysis and death/

It is effective against pests such as aphids, whiteflies, beetles, and certain species of Lepidoptera in crops like corn, soybeans, and canola.

It can be applied to soil, foliage, or as a seed treatment. Application methods and rates depend on the specific crop and pest; always follow label instructions and local regulations.

Clothianidin is highly toxic to bees and aquatic invertebrates. To minimize risks, avoid application during bloom periods and implement buffer zones to protect water bodies.

Clothianidin is persistent and mobile in the environment, with potential to leach into groundwater and surface water. Proper application techniques and adherence to regulations are essential to mitigate environmental impact.

Wear protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection. Avoid inhalation of dust or spray mist, and wash thoroughly after handling.

In case of skin contact, wash with soap and water. If inhaled, move to fresh air. In case of ingestion, seek medical attention immediately. Always have the product label or Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available when seeking medical advice.
