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
