                                                           Mode Of Action
Muscular Dysfunction (FLB) And Nervous System Dysfunction (TCP) Flubendiamide Acts As A Ryanodine Receptor Disruptor Of Cellular Calcium Movement, Important For Muscle Contractions. It Causes Lethargy, Paralysis, Rapid Feeding Cessation, And Death.

Thiacloprid acts as an agonist on the postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of motor neurons in insects. This causes an over-stimulation of the nervous system and ultimately kills the insect.

Recommendations and Usage:
Shake the product well before use.
Pour 3l of water into a spraying container and add a 100ml bottle to treat 1 ha.
Rinse the bottle 3 times by pouring the rinsing water into the spraying tank.
Add the required volume of water to treat 1 ha.
