composition:
Spiromesifen | 23% |
Abamectin | 1.14% |
Mode of Action:
Spiromesifen: (by contact) is a non-systemic insecticide that inhibits the biosynthesis of triglycerides and free fatty acids, leading to the inhibition of molting and causing rapid paralysis in insect and acarid pests, stopping their movement and feeding, They typically die within 3 to 4 days post-treatment.
Abamectin: (by contact & ingestion) is a toxic agent that opens chloride channels in the nervous system, which activates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), preventing the transmission of nerve signals between nerves and muscles, resulting in paralysis of the pest and loss of its ability to move and feed, leading to quick death.
