Mode of Action: Inhibiting lipid biosynthesis
Common Product Names: Oberon & Forbid
What is it?
Spiromesifen is a modern acaricide and insecticide developed for effective pest control in agriculture. It belongs to the chemical class of tetronic acid derivatives and is designed to combat a variety of pest infestations with minimal impact on non-target species, including beneficial insects. Its application spans across crops such as vegetables, cotton, and ornamental plants, providing a robust solution for pest management.
How does it work?
Spiromesifen functions by targeting and inhibiting the acetyl-CoA carboxylase enzyme in pests. This enzyme is crucial for fatty acid synthesis, and its inhibition leads to disrupted lipid metabolism. Without the ability to produce essential lipids, the pests' growth is stunted, and they eventually die. The active ingredient is particularly effective on the larval and nymph stages of pests, preventing them from maturing into reproductive adults.
