Flubendiamide is the first insecticide of the diamide class.[1][2] It acts on the ryanodine receptor.[2]

Regulation

[edit]

A metabolite of flubendiamide is very persistent and toxic to aquatic invertebrates, causing flubendiamide to be banned by the EPA for all uses.[3]

The product is still available in other jurisdictions such as Europe[4] and India.[5]
