Spirotetramat

Spirotetramat is an insecticide that demonstrates efficacy against C. pyrinymphs in vitro (LC50= 6.51-12.53 mg AI/L) and achieves a 99.2% mortality rate in C. pyrinymphs within European pear (P. communis) fields 15 days post-application at a dosage of 27 g/hectare. Additionally, it reduces embryonic viability and nymph survival in O. insidiosus. Spirotetramat exhibits aquatic toxicity by altering protein levels in organisms, specifically by increasing glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, decreasing malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and causing lethality in Chinese toad (B. gargarizans) tadpoles (LC50= 6.98 mg/L) . Its formulations are utilized in agricultural insect control. Spirotetramat is marketed exclusively for research and analytical applications, formulated for controlled laboratory settings without the availability of bulk sizes.
