Active ingredient and unique mode of action
- Formulated as Flonicamid 50% Water Dispersible Granules (WG), categorized under IRAC Group 29.
- Targets insect chordotonal organs, disrupting sensory reception and causing irreversible cessation of sap-sucking within 30 to 60 minutes.
- Although target insects may remain on leaves for a short period, they cannot feed or transmit plant viruses and eventually perish from starvation.
Target pests and registered crops
- Cotton: Whiteflies, aphids, jassids (leafhoppers), and thrips.
- Paddy (rice): Brown plant hopper (Nilaparvata lugens) and white-backed plant hopper (Sogatella furcifera).
- Vegetables and fruits: Aphids and sucking complexes in chillies, cucurbits, and solanaceous crops.
- Excellent translaminar and systemic movement ensures protection of hidden leaf undersides and new flush growth.
IPM compatibility and safe application practices
- Highly compatible with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems due to low toxicity towards honeybees, predatory mites, and parasitic wasps.
- Apply when sucking pest populations cross economic threshold levels (ETL) using recommended hollow-cone or flat-fan nozzles.
- Follow CIBRC registered label dosages, observe pre-harvest intervals, and use clean spray water.
