General Information:

  • Active Ingredient: Flubendiamide (480g/L)
  • Mode of Action :

    In contrast to most commercially successful insecticides which act on the nervous system, Flubendiamide disrupts proper muscle function in insects and therefore represents a novel, unique mode of action. These characteristic symptoms are induced by Flubendiamide through the activation of ryanodine-sensitive intracellular calcium release channels (ryanodine receptors, RyR) as shown by Ca2+ fluorescence measurements in insect neurons as well as in recombinant cells expressing the cloned ryanodine receptor from Drosophila melanogaster.

  • Application: Fame can be applied to a variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals. It is typically applied as a foliar spray, but can also be applied to the soil or as a seed treatment.
  •  
  • Precautions: Fame is a moderately toxic insecticide and should be handled with care. It is important to wear protective clothing when applying Fame, and to avoid contact with the skin and eyes.

Additional Precautions:

  • Do not apply Fame to blooming crops, as it may harm pollinating insects.
  • Fame is toxic to fish and other aquatic life. Do not apply it to water or near areas where it may run off into water.
  • Follow all label directions carefully when using Fame.
