Spintor

Spinosad 480 SC (45% w/w)
Spintor

Spinosad is a “biological insecticide”, a naturally derived product from the fermentation of the actinomycete Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Spintor is extensively used for the control of resistant Helicoverpa in Cotton and Red gram.

MODE OF ACTION

Spinosad works by contact and by ingestion. Spinosad has a unique mode of action that is different from all other known insect control products. Spinosad causes excitation of the insect nervous system, leading to involuntary muscle contractions, prostration with tremors, and finally paralysis. These effects are consistent with the activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by a mechanism that is clearly novel and unique among known insecticidal compounds.
