Imidacloprid has a good killing effect on scale insects, which are small insects with over 6000 species worldwide and about 650 species recorded domestically. Mesoscale insects are the most common pests on flowers and fruit trees, with extremely strong reproductive ability, often clustered on branches, leaves, and fruits. Adults and nymphs insert needle shaped mouthparts into crop tissues to extract sap, causing wilting of branches and leaves, and even the entire plant; In addition, the secretions of scale insects can also cause coal smoke disease, which is extremely harmful. Mesoscale insects have strong resistance to drugs, and it is difficult for general drugs to enter the body, making prevention and treatment more challenging. At present, glyphosate is the main pesticide for killing scale insects, but glyphosate belongs to the highly toxic organic phosphorus pesticide. With the ban of highly toxic pesticides by the Ministry of Agriculture and other five ministries, glyphosate is bound to be eliminated, and imidacloprid will also become one of the important alternative varieties of glyphosate.

Its main mechanism of action is to prevent the oxidative phosphorylation of insects, and it also has the functions of killing eggs, suppressing food, inhibiting egg laying, and sterilizing.
