The Active Ingredient Fosthiazate

Nematodes are tiny, almost invisible organisms that silently attack and harm your plants. They penetrate the roots, suck nutrients and secrete toxic substances, damaging the root system. This makes it difficult for plants to absorb water and nutrients, leading to symptoms such as yellow leaves, swollen roots, stunted plants and reduced productivity. More dangerously, nematodes also create conditions for other fungal pathogens to invade and cause many complex diseases. To protect crops, farmers need to apply comprehensive control measures, such as crop rotation, using organic fertilizers and applying biological measures to control the development of nematodes. In which, using the nematode treatment active ingredient Fosthiazate is currently receiving a lot of attention.

1. What is the active ingredient Fosthiazate?

The active ingredient Fosthiazate has the chemical formula C9H18NO3PS2, which belongs to the organophosphate group, a group of pesticides derived from organic compounds containing phosphorus, developed by Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha and first registered in Japan in 1992. The active ingredient Fosthiazate is used to effectively control common harmful nematodes such as Meloidogyne incognita, H. glycines, pratylenchus penetrans.

2. Mechanism of action of Fosthiazate

The active ingredient Fosthiazate is an organophosphate pesticide, Fosthiazate often acts on the nervous system of insects and other harmful organisms by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AchE). This enzyme plays an important role in transmitting nerve signals. When the enzyme is inhibited, the nerve signal will be disrupted, leading to paralysis and death of the harmful organism.

Thanks to the above superior properties, Fosthiazate is widely used in agriculture to prevent many types of pests on many different crops. It is especially effective in controlling common harmful nematodes such as Meloidogyne incognita, H. glycines, pratylenchus penetrans causing rice leaf blight, plant root knots,... one of the difficult-to-treat pathogens in agricultural production. Fosthiazate Nematicide can control above-ground pests from Thysanoptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera and Diptera. Fosthiazate also has good effects on pests that are resistant to traditional pesticides.

3. Outstanding advantages of the active ingredient Fosthiazate

• Comprehensive effects: Fosthiazate not only has a direct contact effect on pests but also has the ability to be absorbed into crops and move to other parts, including roots. This helps to destroy even pests hidden inside plant tissue or soil.

• High efficiency, low dosage: With a powerful mechanism of action, Fosthiazate is highly effective even when used at low doses. This helps to minimize negative impacts on the environment and beneficial organisms.

• Strong, sustainable circulation: The slow-dissolving granular form helps Fosthiazate stay in the soil longer, ensuring long-term control effectiveness. The drug is less likely to be washed away by rainwater, increasing its effectiveness.

• Ability to destroy eggs and adult pests: Fosthiazate not only destroys adult pests but also affects eggs, preventing the development of new generations of pests.

• Drug resistance: One of the outstanding advantages of Fosthiazate is its ability to effectively control pests that are resistant to traditional drugs, opening up a new solution to the problem of drug resistance that is becoming increasingly complex in agriculture.
