The active ingredient in Biotlin
The composition of the drug Biotlin includes imidacloprid, which is the active substance. This insecticide belongs to the class of neonicotinoids. It is developed by Bayer Crop Science and is widely used in horticulture and agriculture.

Principle of operation
After spraying plants with this insecticide, the first results become noticeable after 2-3 hours, and the full effect is achieved after 2-3 days.
The insecticidal agent Biotlin belongs to the category of systemic chemicals. The active ingredient, when sprayed on the leaves or watered, penetrates the plant tissues and spreads throughout the vascular system. After the pest feeds on the juice or leaves of the treated plant, the active ingredient enters the intestinal tract of the insect. This causes a blockage in the transmission of nerve impulses from the brain to the limbs. As a result, the insect initially loses the ability to move, eat and reproduce, and dies after a day.
