Mode of Action
SPIRODICLOFEN
IRAC 23 : Tetronic acid: Lipid biosynthesis inhibitor Spirodiclofen is a non-systemic acaricide with contact and stomach action with excellent translaminar activity.
It has novel acaricidal chemistry with marvelous ovicidal, larvicidal and nymphicidal properties, which controls phytophagous mites of different species in different crops. It is highly effective insecticide specifically formulated to control a broad spectrum of pests, with a particular focus on mites. This advanced insecticide works by inhibiting lipid biosynthesis in pest cells, a process crucial for their growth and development. By disrupting fat production, Spirodiclofen causes the pests to gradually lose their energy reserves, leading to their eventual death.
Abamectin
IRAC 6 : Avermectin: Neurotransmitter inhibitor.
Abamectin is an excellent insecticide, acaricide and nematicide with contact and stomach action. it has limited plant systemic activity but exhibit excellent translaminar movement.
It acts by stimulating the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system, a chemical “transmitter” produced at nerve endings, which inhibits both nerve to nerve and nerve to muscle communication blocking transmission of signals between nerve cells or between nerve and
muscle cells. Shortly after ingestion, the susceptible mites
and insects become irreversibly paralysed and die.
