Efficacy against insecticide-resistant

The knockdown and residual aphicidal activity of an insecticide depends on one or more of these biological properties (a) contact advity, (b) translaminar systemicity, (c) downward or phloem systemicity, (d) upward or xylem systemicity, and (e) inherent efficacy against insecticide-resistant aphids. We have compared RH7988 with several important commerdal aphicidal compounds for these properties through laboratory tests. 

Flubendiamide represents a novel class of insecticide having a unique chemical structure, and provides a new mode of action, which acts as a RyR modulator. This activity is highly selective to insect RyR, and no cross-resistance to existing insecticides is observed. Flubendiamide will also be very suitable for Insecticide Resistant Management. Furthermore, flubendiamide shows a broad insecticidal spectrum against lepidopterous insect pests, excellent efficacy in field evaluations, and excellent safety against various beneficial arthropods and natural enemies. It will be suitable for 1PM programs.
