Acetamiprid

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Disruption of the Nervous System / Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs)

Common Product Names: Assail & Tristar

What is it?

Acetamiprid is a synthetic, broad-spectrum systemic insecticide that is widely used in both agriculture and horticulture. It is selective, primarily targeting sucking insects and also has contact action as well. Acetamiprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide, a class known for its action on the nervous system of insects. It is known for its efficacy against a variety of pest species, particularly those that are difficult to manage with other types of insecticides. Acetamiprid can be used on a wide array of crops, including fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, and some cereals. It is also effective at low application rates, making it an environmentally friendlier option compared to some other insecticides.

How does it work?

Acetamiprid works by binding to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nervous system of insects. These receptors are crucial for transmitting nerve impulses. When Acetamiprid binds to these receptors, it causes continuous stimulation of the neurons, which eventually leads to the insect's paralysis and death.

The effects of Acetamiprid are usually noticeable within a few hours to a day after application, depending on the pest species and environmental conditions. It is considered to have a residual effect, meaning it continues to provide protection against pests for several days to weeks after application.

Benefits

  • Rapid Action: Fast-acting, with visible results often within hours of application.
  • Residual Effect: Provides extended protection after application, reducing the need for frequent reapplications.
  • Systemic Action: Can be absorbed and distributed throughout the plant, providing protection against pests that feed on different parts of the plant.
