Isoxazoline Insecticide
FLUXAMETAMIDE 10% EC
An advanced isoxazoline insecticide providing broad-spectrum control of lepidopteran and sucking pests. It features excellent systemic activity with translaminar movement, ensuring comprehensive protection across a wide range of vegetable crops.
Active: Fluxametamide
Formulation: EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate)
Action: Systemic & Translaminar
Product Information
Mode of Action
Fluxametamide blocks both GABA-gated chloride channels and glutamate-gated chloride channels in the insect nervous system. This dual disruption inhibits nerve transmission, causing rapid paralysis and death of the pest. It shows minimal cross-resistance with other chemical classes.
Target Pests
- Fruit & Shoot Borers (Leucinodes orbonalis, Helicoverpa armigera)
- Diamond Back Moth (Plutella xylostella)
- Thrips & Leaf Hoppers
- Tobacco Caterpillar & Spotted Pod Borer
Key Benefits
Broad-spectrum efficacy simplifies pest management by controlling both sucking pests and caterpillars with a single product.

Application Instructions
1. Timing
Apply at the early stages of infestation. For borers, applying before larvae bore deep into the fruit or shoot is crucial for maximum efficacy.
2. Translaminar Activity
The product moves through the leaf tissue (translaminar), reaching pests hidden on the underside of leaves, such as thrips and aphids. Ensure good coverage of the canopy.
Safety Precautions
Harvest Interval: A short waiting period of 5 days makes it suitable for vegetables that are harvested frequently.
Resistance Management: Fluxametamide belongs to Group 30 (GABA-gated chloride channel allosteric modulators). Rotate with insecticides from different groups to prevent resistance.
