Description

What is GILDEN (Flonicamid 20% + Thiamethoxam 40% WG)?

GILDEN is a highly effective insecticide formulated with two powerful active ingredients: Flonicamid 20% and Thiamethoxam 40%. This combination provides excellent control against aphids, making it ideal for use in cucumber crops. The product works with a unique mode of action, ensuring effective pest control while maintaining crop safety.

Key Benefits

• Unique Mode of Action: GILDEN targets pests with a dual action from Flonicamid and Thiamethoxam, effectively disrupting pest feeding and nervous system functions.
• Effective Against Aphids: The combination of active ingredients ensures fast-acting and long-lasting control of aphids, a common pest in cucumber crops.
• Anti-feeding Effect: GILDEN works by preventing aphids from feeding on plants, which significantly reduces crop damage.

How It Works

GILDEN works by combining the actions of Flonicamid and Thiamethoxam, which target different parts of the pest’s nervous system. Flonicamid inhibits the feeding behavior of aphids, while Thiamethoxam interferes with the acetylcholine receptors in the pests, leading to paralysis and eventual death. This dual-action makes it particularly effective at controlling aphids quickly and efficiently.
