Gracia Insecticide Technical Name

Fluxametamide 10% w/w EC

Product Specifications

• Mode of Entry: Ingestion and Contact
• Mode of Action: Fluxametamide acts on the insect nervous system by inhibiting gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) gated chloride channels. This disturbs normal chloride ion movement and affects nerve signal transmission in the insect. The affected pest loses normal nerve and muscle function, which helps control the target insect when applied at the recommended dose.
• Time of Application: Economic threshold level
