Efficon

Efficon® insecticide powered by Axalion Active is a powerful innovation in modern pest control with a unique class of chemistry that brings control of harmful piercing and sucking insects, including superior whitefly control.

Efficon® insecticide powered by Axalion Active has a novel mode of action and is the sole representative of a unique insecticidal class of chemistry, the Pyridazine pyrazolecarboxamides (or Pyridazine amides) Group 36 that targets sensory organs in piercing and sucking pests, including superior whitefly control.

Efficon® stops damage by causing the insect to become uncoordinated, unable to feed or fly. Efficon® shows no known cross resistance. Efficon® systemic action grows with the plant, protecting new growth in between applications. It also provides long-lasting residual control due to its systemic properties, giving great efficacy throughout the lifecycle of the pests. Efficon® is environmentally friendly to non-target organisms when applied according to label instructions and highly compatible with beneficial insects, including pollinators and birds.

  • Provides quick action and instant results.
  • Provides Broad Spectrum Control on sucking pests.
  • Compatible with beneficial releases which strengthens IPM.
  • Efficon® have favourable safety and environmental profile.
  • Enables rapid feeding cessation and reduces virus transmission.

 

How it works?

 

  • Efficon® insecticide powered by Axalion Active acts on the sensory organs of the target insect pests blocking their ability to coordinate, preventing them from feeding and they eventually die from starvation.
  • It interferes with the TRPV channels in a completely different way compared to the other selective feeding blockers (IRAC groups 9 and 29)
  • Target insect pests will stop feeding a few hours after exposure to Efficon.
  • Efficon® shows well-balanced activity via ingestion and contact (direct and indirect)
  • The active ingredient has excellent translaminar activity and Systemacity iin plants and a moderate to very good acropetal movement protecting new growth
  • Efficon® shows excellent residual activity against Aphids, Jassids and Whiteflies at the adequate dose rates
