Mode of Action

Acetamiprid is a member of the neonicotinoid insecticides and acts primarily on the nervous system of sucking pests:

Nervous System Disruption:

• Binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in pest nerve cells.
• Causes overstimulation, paralysis, and eventual death of aphids, jassids, thrips, and whiteflies.

Systemic Movement:

• Travels through the plant’s vascular system, reaching newly emerging leaves, shoots, and hidden pest populations.
• Provides protection where contact sprays may not reach.

Long Residual Effect:

• Maintains protective activity for several days, reducing the frequency of sprays.

Target Pests and Crops

 

Key Benefit: Protects both the upper and lower leaf surfaces, which is crucial for pests hiding underneath leaves.
