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.
