Mode of Action: T Sefina Insecticide operates through a novel mode of action, classified under subgroup 9D by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC). Its active ingredient, Inscalis, targets the chordotonal organs of insects, which are biological stretch sensors. Inscalis acts selectively on these sensors, causing the insects to become disoriented and uncoordinated. As a result, the affected pests stop feeding and eventually die from dehydration and starvation.
