As a result, the nervous system of pests is paralyzed, which leads to their death.

Physical and chemical properties

Acetamiprid is a white crystalline substance. If the pH parameters are 4-7, the substance retains hydrolytic stability.At pH 9 and 45 degrees, the composition gradually decomposes. When exposed to sunlight, it retains its stability.

The main physical properties include the following:

• melting point - 98.9 degrees;
• molecular weight - 222.7;
• solubility in water - 4200 milligrams per 1 liter;
• steam pressure at 25 degrees - less than 1∙10-6 Pa;
• solubility in various substances - methanol, ethanol, chloroform, acetone.

Scope and effects on pests

The product has an excellent systemic and translaminar effect. Due to this, the substance is absorbed by the plant and distributed to all fragments. Due to this feature, the effect of the use of acetamiprid is also manifested on untreated fragments of cultures.
