Technical Content of NICHINO Marito Insecticides

Tolfenpyrad 18.75% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.94% SC

Mode of Action

Contact and translaminar

Dual mode of action - Tolfenpyrad (METI) acts on mitochondria and inhibits the respiratory process of insects

 Emamectin Benzoate binds glutamate-gated chloride channels in nerve and muscle cells, increasing chloride ion influx and hyperpolarizing the cell membrane, disrupting nerve impulse transmission and causing paralysis and death.
