Can-Do 36% SC Insecticide: Overview and Uses
Brand name : can-do 36%sc
Chemical Composition: Chorfenapyre 36%SC
Pack Size :200ml
Can-Do 36% SC is a suspension concentrate (SC) insecticide containing 36% imidacloprid as its active ingredient. It is widely used in agriculture, horticulture, landscaping, and pest control to protect crops and plants from a broad spectrum of sucking and chewing insect pests.
Key Features
- Active Ingredient: Imidacloprid 36%
- Formulation Type: Suspension Concentrate (SC) – a liquid formulation where solid particles are suspended in water.
- Mode of Action: Systemic and contact insecticide
- Chemical Class: Neonicotinoid
How It Works
Imidacloprid works by interfering with the nervous system of insects. It binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the insect’s brain, causing overstimulation, paralysis, and ultimately death. Because it is systemic, the chemical is absorbed by the plant and distributed through its tissues, protecting the plant from the inside out.
Target Pests
Can-Do 36% SC is effective against a variety of pests, including:
- Aphids
- Whiteflies
- Thrips
- Leafhoppers
- Mealybugs
- Termites (in some structural applications)
- Scale insects
- Flea beetles

Application Methods:

Dosage depends on the crop and target pest but typically ranges from 0.3 to 1.0 ml per liter of water for foliar applications. Always follow the label or local agricultural guidelines.
Advantages
- Long-lasting control due to systemic action

Precautions and Safety
- Toxic to bees: Avoid application during flowering or when bees are foraging.

Conclusion
Can-Do 36% SC is a powerful insecticide that offers effective and long-lasting protection against a wide variety of crop-damaging insects. Its systemic nature, broad spectrum activity, and flexible application methods make it a valuable tool in modern pest management. However, responsible use is essential to minimize risks to beneficial insects, particularly pollinators like bees.
