Flonicamid is a systemic insecticide that functions by blocking stylet penetration and feeding in piercing-sucking pests. Unlike neurotoxic insecticides, it disrupts the feeding mechanism of insects, resulting in rapid feeding cessation and starvation. It is effective on aphids, whiteflies, leafhoppers, and other sucking pests across a wide range of crops. Its unique mode of action complements IPM and resistance management strategies, and it shows low toxicity to beneficial insects and pollinators.

Chemical Properties & Specifications
Aphids, thrips, jassids, whiteflies, leafhoppers, planthoppers
Cotton, paddy, chili, tomato, cucumber, potato, melon, cereals
Used in SC and WG formulations; typical dosage 100–150 g a.i./ha. Compatible with most fungicides and insecticides in tank mix
It acts by inhibiting feeding in sucking pests rather than killing directly via neurotoxicity.
Particularly effective on aphids, jassids, and whiteflies in vegetables and field crops.
Yes, it’s compatible with neonicotinoids, pyrethroids, and biocontrol agents.
Typically ≥95%, confirmed via HPLC method.
Adopted by farmers seeking non-neurotoxic aphid control. Gaining use in residue-sensitive crop export programs
No. Its selective action preserves predators and pollinators, ideal for IPM.
Synonyms: IKI-220, N-cyanomethyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)nicotinamide
