Mode of action detail:
RASCENDO™ (Sulfoxaflor) is a systemic insecticide, acts as a neurotoxin to affected insects, and kills through contact or ingestion. Sulfoxaflor is classified for use against sap-feeding insects as a sulfoximine, which is a sub-group of insecticides that act as nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) competitive modulators. Sulfoxaflor binds to nAChRs in place of acetylcholine and causes uncontrolled nerve impulses resulting in muscle tremors followed by paralysis and death.
