What is the difference between spinosad and spinetoram?
The organic insecticide spinosad is often used to manage the fly in organic and conventional systems. Spinetoram is reportedly more potent, faster-acting, and longer-lasting than spinosad and controls a wider range of insect pests in fruits and vegetables (Dripps et al. 2008a,b; Bacci et al. 2016).
Is spinetoram systemic?
Initiator Systemic Plant Insecticide and Fertiliser (Imidacloprid)
Is spinetoram an organophosphate?
Spinetoram retains the favorable environmental benefits of spinosad while replacing organophosphate pesticides for tree fruits, tree nuts, small fruits, and vegetables. The result is spinetoram, a mixture of 3′-O-ethyl-5,6-dihydro spinosyn J and 3′-O-ethyl spinosyn L.
Is Spirotetramat systemic?
Spirotetramat is an insecticide derived from tetramic acid, a systemic material, for the control of sucking insects in their juvenile, immature stages, including aphids, scale insects, and whitefly. It produces growth inhibition of younger insects, reduces the ability of insects to reproduce, resulting in mortality.
How safe is spinetoram?
Spinetoram is highly toxic to terrestrial insects and aquatic invertebrates and is highly effective as it is used as an insecticide to control terrestrial insect pests. The major risk concern for spinetoram is chronic risk to freshwater invertebrates resulting in decreased survival, reproduction, and growth.
Is spinetoram safe for cats?
OTC Topical Flea Prevention Cheristin has been specifically formulated to kill fleas on cats using the active ingredient spinetoram. It is safe for kittens over the age of 8 weeks and as small as 1.8 pounds.
Is spinetoram safe for humans?
Spinetoram has low acute toxicity via the oral, dermal and inhalation routes of exposure (acute Toxicity Category IV). It is a dermal sensitizer but not an eye or dermal irritant.
What is spinetoram used for?
Spinetoram is highly toxic to terrestrial insects and aquatic invertebrates and is highly effective as it is used as an insecticide to control terrestrial insect pests.

How does movento insecticide work?
How does Movento work? Movento penetrates the leaf cuticle and enters the plant vascular system, moving both upward and downward via phloem and xylem to new shoot, leaf and root tissues. This “two-way” movement results in effective control of hidden pests on above- and below-ground plant parts.
Is Spinetoram safe for cats?
Why is spinetoram used as an insecticide?
Spinetoram is highly toxic to terrestrial insects and aquatic invertebrates and is highly effective as it is used as an insecticide to control terrestrial insect pests. The major risk concern for spinetoram is chronic risk to freshwater invertebrates resulting in decreased survival, reproduction, and growth.
How long does spinetoram stay in the water?
Ecological Risk: Spinetoram has a relatively low solubility in water and high affinity for binding to organic carbon in sediment and suspended solids; thus, the bioavailability of the chemical in the water column may be limited after 24 to 48 hours.
What’s the difference between spinosad and spinetoram?
Since spinetoram is toxicologically identical to spinosad, and spinosad is classified as “not likely to be carcinogenic to humans” based on lack of evidence for carcinogenicity in mice and rats, the same classification will be applied to spinetoram.
What kind of toxicity does spinetoram have on the eye?
Spinetoram has low acute toxicity via the oral, dermal and inhalation routes of exposure (acute Toxicity Category IV). It is a dermal sensitizer but not an eye or dermal irritant.
