SCIENCE

Mode of Action

Understanding the mechanism of FREESTA

Pest Control Mechanism

Flubendiamide selectively activates insect ryanodine receptors, triggering unregulated calcium release from the muscle cell sarcoplasmic reticulum. This results in tetanic muscle contraction and immediate feeding cessation in the target pests. The affected larvae subsequently die within 24–48 hours, providing effective control of lepidopteran pests.

Frequently Asked Questions
