Product Information
Mode of Action
Flupyradifurone acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist with a unique binding site (Butenolide class). It causes hyperexcitation of the insect nervous system, leading to rapid feeding cessation and mortality. It is often effective against pests resistant to other neonicotinoids.
