Acetamiprid Neonicotinoid Insecticide
CAS Number: 135410-20-7
Acetamiprid is a systemic chloronicotinyl insecticide (neonicotinoid) that acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist with high selectivity for insect over mammalian receptors. It provides excellent control of sucking insects including aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and leafhoppers on a wide range of crops. Acetamiprid is distinguished by its lower environmental persistence and bee toxicity risk compared to other neonicotinoids, making it more suitable for use in sensitive bee-pollinated crops.
