Chemistry:Flonicamid
From HandWiki
Flonicamid is a synthetic pyridine organic compound used as an insecticide against aphids, whiteflies, and thrips.[1][2] It disrupts insect chordotonal organs that can affect hearing, balance, movement to cause cessation of feeding, by inhibiting nicotinamidase.[3] It is in IRAC group 29.[4] It is typically sold as wettable granules that are mixed with water before spraying.[1]
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.[5]
