Here are some additional details about the modes of action of spiritetramat and imidacloprid, the active ingredients in Movento Energy:

• Spirotetramat: Spirotetramat is a systemic insecticide that 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.
• Imidacloprid: Imidacloprid is a systemic insecticide that works by interfering with the insect's nervous system. It is absorbed by the plant and transported throughout the plant's tissues, where it kills pests when they feed on the plant.

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