Dinotefuran

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Disrupts the nervous system / binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

Common Product Names: Venom & Safari

What is it?

Dinotefuran is a potent insecticide that was developed in the late 1990s and introduced to the market in the early 2000s. Its chemical structure is unique among neonicotinoids, which gives it distinct properties in terms of effectiveness and speed of action. It is highly soluble in water and can be applied as a foliar spray, soil drench, or seed treatment, depending on the target pest and crop. Dinotefuran is particularly valued for its quick action against pests like aphids, whiteflies, and beetles.

How does it work?

Once applied, Dinotefuran is rapidly absorbed by plants and translocated throughout the tissues. When insects feed on the treated plants, they ingest Dinotefuran, which disrupts their nervous system by interfering with the acetylcholine receptors. This disruption causes paralysis and death within a few hours to a few days, depending on the insect species and the method of application. Because it is systemic, Dinotefuran can protect new growth that emerges after the initial treatment, offering prolonged protection.

Benefits

  • Quick Results: Dinotefuran provides rapid knockdown of insect pests, with visible results often within hours or days of application.
  • Residual Control: As a systemic insecticide, it offers residual protection, ensuring that treated plants remain protected for an extended period.
  • Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Effective against a wide range of pests, including difficult-to-control species like whiteflies, aphids, and certain beetles.
  • Systemic Protection: Moves throughout the plant to protect all parts, including new growth, providing comprehensive protection.
