Bayer Confidor 20SL is a premium insecticide that leverages the power of Imidacloprid (17.1%) to protect crops against a wide variety of harmful pests such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and cane beetles. As a systemic insecticide, Confidor 20SL is quickly absorbed by the plant, circulating internally to provide long-lasting and efficient pest control. This makes it an ideal solution for crops like fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
