Rickmida Imidacloprid 17.8% SL Insecticide

Rickmida, from Darrick Insecticides Limited, is a systemic insecticide formulated with Imidacloprid 17.8% SL. It is highly effective against sucking insects like aphids, jassids, thrips, whiteflies, and also termites. The formulation acts on the insect’s central nervous system by binding to nicotinic receptors, leading to paralysis and eventual death.

With systemic and translaminar activity, it moves within plant tissues to provide inside-out protection. It works through both contact and stomach action, ensuring thorough pest management. Farmers prefer Rickmida for its quick uptake, acropetal distribution, and proven termite control. For those seeking guidance on pest management, explore our systemic insecticide collection.
