IMA-jet is a microinjection systemic insecticide used to control various pests in trees and ornamental plants. The active ingredient is imidacloprid (9.1%). It is designed for use via the Arborjet Injection System, which delivers the product directly into the tree's vascular system through microinjections. This method is effective against a wide range of sucking and chewing insects, including aphids, whiteflies, scale, mealybugs, leafhoppers, beetles, and various forest pests like the Asian Longhorned Beetle. The product is applied by drilling small holes into the tree and injecting the solution. Because it is systemic, the insecticide moves through the plant's sap to reach pests feeding on the foliage or wood. When using this product, technicians must follow specific procedures for drilling and injection to ensure efficacy and minimize damage to the tree. It is important to note that this product is not for use on citrus. Handling requires specific personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent skin and eye irritation. Always follow the specific application rates based on tree diameter and target pest to ensure proper coverage and safety.
