Sulfoxaflor acts on nicotinic receptors, but it is NOT a neonic. Look at the chemistry of it. The novel sulfoximine insecticide sulfoxaflor is as potent or more effective than the neonicotinoids for toxicity to green peach aphids (GPA, Myzus persicae). The action of sulfoxaflor was characterized at insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) using electrophysiological and radioligand binding techniques. The nature of the interaction of sulfoxaflor with nAChRs apparently differs from that of IMI and other neonicotinoids, and when coupled with other known characteristics (novel chemical structure, lack of cross-resistance, and metabolic stability), indicate that sulfoxaflor represents a significant new insecticide option for the control of sap-feeding insects. *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
