Pyridaben

Mode of Action: Inhibiting mitochondrial electron transport at the NADH-coenzyme Q reductase site

Common Product Names: Sanmite

What is it?

Pyridaben is a pyridazinone derivative and is recognized for its efficacy against a broad spectrum of pests, particularly mites. It is characterized by its quick action and residual effects, making it a reliable choice for farmers. Pyridaben is usually formulated as a wettable powder or a suspension concentrate, which ensures easy application and effective distribution on plant surfaces.

How does it work?

Pyridaben targets the energy production mechanism within the pest's cells. By inhibiting the electron transport chain in mitochondria, it prevents the production of ATP, which is essential for the pest's survival. The result is a quick knockdown effect, typically within a few hours of application. Its residual activity means it continues to protect plants for several days, reducing the need for frequent reapplications.

Benefits

  • Rapid Results: Pyridaben acts quickly, with visible results often seen within hours of application. This rapid action is crucial in preventing extensive damage to crops.
  • Residual Effect: The residual activity of Pyridaben provides extended protection, reducing the frequency of applications needed and thereby saving time and labor for farmers.
  • Integrated Pest Management: Its unique mode of action allows Pyridaben to be used as part of an integrated pest management program, helping to manage resistance and reduce the overall pesticide load in the environment.
