Description
MODE OF ACTION
- Methom FS belongs to the neonicotinoid group of insecticide and it acts on the central nervous system of insects
- Immediately after coming to the contact/intaking the Methom FS insect stops feeding
- Affected sucking insects do not penetrate the plant tissue again
- It interferes with postsynaptic nicotinic acetyl choline receptors site of the insect nervous system
- Due to irreversible blockage of postsynaptic nAChRs leads to the hyperexcitation of the nerves
- Hyperexcitation followed by convulsions and eventual paralysis of the insects. This results the death of insects
