flonicamid
Sign in to saveAlso known as FLO
Flonicamid is a synthetic pyridine organic compound used as an insecticide against aphids, whiteflies, and thrips. It disrupts insect chordotonal organs that can affect hearing, balance, movement to cause cessation of feeding, by inhibiting nicotinamidase. It is in IRAC group 29. It is typically sold as wettable granules that are mixed with water before spraying.

Flonicamid is a synthetic pyridine organic compound used as an insecticide against aphids, whiteflies, and thrips. It disrupts insect chordotonal organs that can affect hearing, balance, movement to cause cessation of feeding, by inhibiting nicotinamidase. It is in IRAC group 29. It is typically sold as wettable granules that are mixed with water before spraying.
==Regulation== Products containing this active ingredient have been banned in Denmark because flonicamid can degrade into trifluoroacetic acid, which can then contaminate groundwater and not decompose.
