Identification
Common NamePymetrozine
ClassSmall Molecule
Description
Pymetrozine is a neuroactive insecticide that selectively affects chordotonal mechanoreceptors. Physiologically, it appears to act by preventing these insects from inserting their stylus into the plant tissue. It controls many strains of aphids on potatoes and in a range of vegetable brassica crops. Pymetrozine has been determined to be of low acute toxicity to humans, birds, aquatic organisms, mammals, and bees.
