Flonicamid is a systemic insecticide discovered by ISK. ISK has developed onicamid
on a global basis since the late 1990's, and it is registered in over forty countries
including the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa mainly as a foliar application.
Flonicamid exhibits excellent performance for control of almost all important aphid
species in apples, peaches, wheat, potato vegetables, cotton and ornamentals, etc.
Flonicamid has no negative impact on pollinating insects or natural enemies, and thus, onicamid will provide a new option for integrated pest management programs.
主な応用
With foliar spray application at the rates of 50-100 g a.i./ha, onicamid
exhibits excellent aphicidal activity and also shows good insecticidal
activity against other sucking insect pests such as thrips, white ies,
planthoppers, leafhoppers, plant bugs, and mealybugs in fruit trees,
cereals, rice, potatoes, cotton, vegetables and ornamentals. Flonicamid
soil applications also provide control of the foliar pests mentioned above.
Mode of action
Flonicamid rapidly inhibits the feeding behavior of aphids, and has
better action through ingestion than by contact.
Its mode of action is different from other insecticides such as neonicotinoids, pymetrozine and pyri uquinazon.
Flonicamid belongs to IRAC Group 29 and is the only insecticide in this
class.
