    Solution

    Imidacloprid is a systemic insecticide that is often recommended for the management of sucking insect pests through seed treatment. It belongs to the neonicotinoid class of insecticides and is effective against a wide range of pests, including aphids, thrips, and whiteflies. Seed treatment with imidacloprid ensures that the insecticide is taken up by the plant as it grows, providing protection against sucking pests during the early stages of plant development.
