8 points difference between imidacloprid and chlorpyrifos

Imidacloprid is a high-efficiency insecticide of nicotine. It has broad-spectrum, high-efficiency, low toxicity and low residue. After the pests are exposed to the agent, the normal conduction of the central nervous system is blocked, causing paralysis. Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide, which is highly effective and broad-spectrum. It is one of the main varieties to replace high-toxic organophosphorus pesticides. So what are the differences between imidacloprid and chlorpyrifos as high-efficiency insecticides in seed dressing? Please see below for details:

What are the differences between imidacloprid and chlorpyrifos in dressing?

3. Effective period

Imidacloprid: 210 days.

Chlorpyrifos: 120 days.

4, security

Imidacloprid: high (nicotine).

Chlorpyrifos: poor (organophosphorus).

5, applicability

Imidacloprid: broad spectrum (multiple crops can be used).

Chlorpyrifos: peanuts, corn.

6, smell
