JUMBOTM is a systemic, chloro-nicotinyl insecticide with soil, seed and foliar uses for the control of sucking insects including rice hoppers, aphids, thrips, termites, turf insects, soil insects and some beetles. JUMBOTM is widely used on rice, cereal, maize, potatoes, vegetables, sugar beets, fruit, cotton, hops and turf, and is especially systemic when used as a seed or soil treatment.

Features

• JUMBO^TM is Systemic insecticide containing active ingredient Imidacloprid, which belongs to the new nitroguanidine group.
• JUMBO^TM is broad-spectrum insecticide, for use in a large number of crops for controlling sucking and some soil pests.
• JUMBO^TM is acts as stomach and contact insecticide and has relatively long lasting effect.
• JUMBO^TM is acts by interfering with transmission of nerveimpulse in insects, unlike organophosphorus compounds,carbamates and pyrethroids, which act on nerve fiber membrane proteins.
• JUMBO^TM is with this new mode of action gives effective control of insect strains which have developed resistance to traditionally used insecticides.
• JUMBO^TM is with this new action of mechanism is ideally suited for rotation with other insecticides in plant protection schedule sequence
• JUMBO^TM is highly effective against sucking pests like aphids, jassids, thrips
• JUMBO^TM is of low toxicity with minimum impact on environment and an ideal insecticide for use under Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.

Mode of Action 
 
JUMBO^TM is works by interfering with the transmission of stimuli in the insect nervous system. Specifically, it causes blockage in a type of neuronal pathway (nicotinergic) that is more abundant in insects than in warm-blooded animals (making the chemical selectively more toxic to insects than warm-blooded animals). This blockage leads to the accumulation of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter, resulting in the paralysis and eventual death of the insect pests.
