Recently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the registration of a new agricultural pesticide active ingredient—fluazaindolizine. Used to control nematodes in vegetables such as carrots, squash, tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes and taro, and in certain fruits including oranges, peaches, almonds and grapes. EPA anticipates that fluazaindolizine will help further delay the development of nematicide resistance.
Product Name: Fluazaindolizine
CAS NO.: 1254304-22-7
Molecular Formula: C16H10Cl2F3N3O4S
Structural formula:
Fluazaindolizine has a wide control spectrum and is mainly used in fruits and vegetables, tomatoes, fruit vegetables, gourds, potatoes, lawns, grapes, citrus, stone fruits, tobacco and field crops. It has a good control effect on tobacco root-knot nematode, soybean cyst nematode, strawberry glide nematode, potato stem nematode, pine wood nematode, grain nematode and short-bodied (root rot) nematode.
Fluazaindolizine paralyzes (or paralyzes) nematodes, resulting in their death. At present, the mechanism of action of this product is not yet clear. Tests have shown that it is inactive at the target sites of existing nematicides, leading to speculation that it has a novel mechanism of action.
