Here are some additional details about the mode of action of spirotetramat, the active ingredient in Movento:

Spirotetramat works by inhibiting lipid biosynthesis in insects. Lipids are essential for insect growth and development, so inhibiting lipid biosynthesis is a very effective way to kill insects. Spirotetramat is also unique in that it has a translaminar mode of action, meaning that it can move through the leaf and protect both the top and bottom surfaces of the leaf.

Movento is a powerful insecticide that can be used to control a wide range of sucking pests. However, it is important to use it carefully and according to the label directions to avoid harming people or the environment.
