Flonicamid, a novel class insecticide possessing a unique chemical structure, was discovered in 1992, developed by Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha, Ltd., and registered in Japan in 2006 under the trade name of Ulala DF. This compound is very active against a wide range of aphid species and also is effective against some other species of sucking insects. It rapidly inhibits the feeding behavior of aphids and provides long-lasting control. Flonicamid shows no cross-resistance to conventional insecticides and exhibits excellent systemic and translaminar activity. It has no negative impact on beneficial insects and mites. Furthermore, it has a favorable toxicological, environmental and ecotoxicological profile. These characteristics make flonicamid well suited for resistant management strategies and integrated pest-management programs.
