Sulfoxaflor

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Interference with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs)

Common Product Names: Transform

What is it?

Sulfoxaflor is a systemic insecticide, meaning it is absorbed by plants and distributed throughout their tissues. This property ensures that sap-feeding insects, such as aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers, ingest the active ingredient as they feed on the plant's sap. Sulfoxaflor belongs to the sulfoximine chemical class and is noted for its efficacy at low application rates, reducing the overall chemical load on the environment.

How does it work?

Sulfoxaflor’s unique action on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect's nervous system makes it highly effective against pests that have developed resistance to other insecticides. Once ingested by the pest, sulfoxaflor causes continuous stimulation of the nervous system, leading to muscle tremors, paralysis, and ultimately death. Its systemic nature allows it to protect new growth in plants, providing extended protection against pest infestations.

Benefits

  • Effective Against Resistant Pests: Its novel mode of action makes it an excellent tool for controlling pests that have developed resistance to other insecticides.
  • Low Application Rates: Sulfoxaflor is effective at lower doses, reducing the amount of chemical applied to crops and lowering environmental impact.
  • Systemic Protection: As a systemic insecticide, sulfoxaflor offers comprehensive protection by being absorbed and translocated within the plant, safeguarding even new growth from pest damage.
  • Reduced Non-target Impact: Compared to older insecticides, sulfoxaflor poses a lower risk to beneficial insects when used according to label directions, helping to preserve essential pollinators and natural pest predators.
