Product Info:
Flonicamid (IKI220; N-cyanomethyl-4-trifluoromethylnicotinamide), is a pyridine organic compound used as an insecticide on aphids, whiteflies, and thrips. It disrupts insect chordotonal organs that can affect hearing, balance, movement to cause cessation of feeding, but the specific target site of the chemical is unknown. It is typically sold as wettable granules mixed with water before spraying.
Teppeki (flonicamid). It is for the control of whiteflies on tomatoes and cucurbits and aphids on peaches, tomatoes, melons and courgettes. The active ingredient was first approved in the US in 2003 and has gained registrations in Europe as Teppeki since 2004.
Flonicamid is very active against aphids, regardless of differences in species, stages and morphs.
This compound inhibited the feeding behavior of aphids within 0.5 h of treatment without noticeable poisoning symptoms such as convulsion, and this antifeeding activity was not recoverable until death.
The nymphs born from adults exposed to flonicamid for 3 h showed high mortality. The effect of flonicamid on the feeding activity of an individual aphid was studied using electronic monitoring of insect feeding behavior (EMIF). Although the treated aphid attached the head of its proboscis to the leaf surface, salivation and sap feeding were strongly inhibited. These results suggest that the main insecticidal mechanism of flonicamid is starvation based on the inhibition of stylet penetration to plant tissues.
