Today I will share with you growers a new compound “Flonicamid”. This compound is highly effective, safe, and has a particularly long lasting period. It is a special pesticide for killing aphids, whitefly, rice planthopper and other small insects in the future. Let’s learn more about the characteristics and application technology of the compound.
The development history of flonicamid
Flonicamid is a new type of pyridine amide insecticide developed by Ishihara Industries, Japan. Later, Ishihara Industries and Fumeshi and many other companies jointly developed and promoted them, and registered and promoted them in many countries such as the United States, Europe, and South Korea. . Formal efficacy trials began in 1998, and it went on the market in 2003. Currently, it has been registered in 23 countries around the world. In the Chinese market, it was officially registered in March 2011. Currently, there are 27 registered technical and preparation certificates for this product in China, and the future market prospects are very good.
Product characteristics of flonicamid
Flonicamid has strong neurotoxicity and has the characteristics of preventing pests from feeding. The pests can stop smoking soon after inhaling the medicament, and finally die of starvation. Its mechanism of action is unique, and different from neonicotinoid insecticides, its biological activity is particularly high, and it can be widely used in the prevention and control of aphids and other piercing and sucking mouthparts pests on crops. The compound has no cross-resistance with other insecticides, and the effect is very prominent in areas that are currently resistant to other insecticides.
The unique advantages of flonicamid
Due to the long occurrence cycle of small insects such as aphids and whitefly, and the overlapping generations, the damage is serious in the early stage of crop growth. In particular, the flowering period of greenhouse vegetables and fruit trees is also a critical period for prevention and control. Many crops need to be pollinated by bees during this period. However, many conventional insecticides are highly toxic to bees, making it impossible to use medicines during flowering. Flonicamid is used in the flowering and young fruit stages of crops, and has particularly low toxicity to bees. It can replace many conventional insecticides, especially for vegetables and fruits in greenhouses, with particularly high safety.
Control target of flonicamid
Flonicamid can currently be used on fruit trees, grains, rice, potatoes, vegetables, cotton, cucumbers, watermelons, strawberries, eggplants, peppers, beans, tea, ornamental plants, flowers and other crops. Mainly control aphids, whitefly, psyllid, brown planthopper, rice planthopper, thrips, leafhoppers and other piercing and sucking mouthparts pests. Field application technology of flonicamid 1. Control vegetable aphids and whitefly: Use 10% Flonicamid water dispersible granules 30g-50g/mu with 30kg water to control the stems and leaves at the initial stage of the occurrence of aphids. The control effect is very outstanding. The validity period is more than 15 days.
2. Prevent and control apple aphids: use 10% Flonicamid water dispersible granules 2000-2500 times to spray evenly on the leaves at the initial stage of the occurrence of aphids. The control effect is very outstanding.
3. Control watermelon yellow aphid: use 15-20 grams of 10% flonicamid and 15 kilograms of water to spray evenly in the field at the initial stage of the occurrence of aphids. The control effect is outstanding and the effect is longer.
4. Control strawberry yellow aphid: Use 15 grams of 10% flonicamid and 15 kilograms of water to spray evenly in the field at the early stage of the occurrence of aphids, which is safe for strawberries and has a particularly outstanding control effect.
5. Pepper aphids: Use 20 grams of 10% flonicamid and 15 kilograms of water to spray evenly in the field at the initial stage of aphid occurrence, with long lasting effect, low toxicity and low residue.
6. Peach tree aphids: use 10% Flonicamid 1000 times spray to prevent and control the aphids in the field. It can be used together with pymetrozine, acetamiprid and other chemicals.
7. Rice planthopper: In the early stage of rice planthopper occurrence, use 10% Flonicamid 40-60 g/mu with water spray to control, the water retention in the field during spraying is good, and the control effect is very obvious
Precautions for flonicamid
1. This agent is an insect antifeedant. Aphids can be seen to die 2 days after spraying. Do not repeat spraying.
2. It is recommended to mix with quick-acting insecticides and insecticides with other mechanisms of action to delay resistance and increase insecticidal speed.
3. The crops should not be used more than 3 times per season, and the effect is good, and the effective period of one application is about 15 days.
