Instructions for use of the insecticide Movento Energy, composition and analogues

Movento Energy is an effective insecticide that helps control a wide range of pests. Thanks to its two active ingredients, it helps kill sucking, burrowing, and chewing insects. To achieve the desired effect, Movento Energy's instructions must be strictly followed. Adherence to safety precautions is also crucial.

Active ingredient and dosage form

The drug is produced as a suspension concentrate. It contains two active ingredients.

1 liter of the product contains the following substances:

• 120 grams of imidacloprid;
• 120 grams of spirotetramate.

In terms of chemical class, the insecticide belongs to the neonicotinoid category. The active ingredients can enter the parasite's body in the following ways:

• contact – with direct impact on the body’s integuments;
• intestinal - with plant juices that are eaten by pests;
• systemic – active substances enter the plant vessels, after which they enter the parasite’s body.

Mechanism of operation

The effect of the product is due to the presence of two active components:

1. Spirotetramat is a tetronic acid, a new class of chemicals. It inhibits lipid production, which slows the development and death of parasites. It exhibits ovicidal and transovarial activity against adult parasites, rendering them unable to reproduce.
2. Imidacloprid belongs to the chloronicotinyl class of chemicals. This systemic insecticide has a contact and intestinal effect and inhibits nerve impulse transmission at the acetylcholine receptor level. This results in the death of parasites.

The main advantages of the product include the following:

• unique mechanism of action;
• effective against sucking and gnawing parasites;
• dual system distribution;
• penetration into hard-to-reach places of crops;
• long-lasting effect – lasts up to 1 month;
• control of persistent parasite populations;
• compliance with food safety requirements.
