Description
Mode of Action
Dinotefuran is a systemic insecticide that belongs to the neonicotinoid class of chemicals. Its mode of action involves targeting the insect’s nervous system by binding to specific receptors called nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). When dinotefuran is ingested by an insect, it binds to the nAChRs in the insect’s central nervous system, which leads to overstimulation of the receptors. This overstimulation causes the neurons to fire continuously, leading to paralysis and ultimately the death of the insect.
