IVA SC

Mode of Action:

Spirotetramat:  is an azaspiro compound that is methoxycyclohexane which is fused at position 4 to the 5-positionof a 1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-one that is substituted at positions 3 and 4 by 2,5-dimethylphenyl and (ethoxycarbonyl)oxy groups,respectively (the cis isomer).It is a proinsecticide (via hydrolysis of the ethyl carbonate group to give the corresponding4-hydroxypyrrol-2-one,”spirotetramat-enol”) and is used for the control of a wide range of sucking insects on fruit and potato crops.It hasa role as a proinsecticide, an EC 6.4.1.2 (acetyl-CoA carboxylase) inhibitor and an agrochemical.It is a member of benzenes, an azaspirocompound, a carbonate ester, a gamma-lactam and a member of pyrroles.
Agrochemicals -> Pesticides Insecticides
Spirotetramat is effective against stinging-sucking insects,including aphids, mites and whitefly.Its action is based on the interruption oflipid biosynthesis in the insects.It is a systemic insecticide, which is sprayed on the leaves of the plant and penetrates the leaves.In theplant it is hydrolyzed to the enol form by cleavage of the central ethoxycarbonyl group. The resulting enol is quite stable due to the factthat the double bond is in a ring and due to its conjugation with the amide group (mainly) and the benzene ring. The enol formed is alsomuch more soluble in water so that it can move up and down the plant so that it also protects the roots
