Clothianidin
Other Name:(E)-N-[(2-chloro-5-thiazolyl)methyl]-N'-methyl-N''-nitroguanidine 
;
CAS Number: [210880-92-5]
Molecular Formula: C6H8ClN5O2S
Clothianidin is an alternative to organophosphate, carbamate, and pyrethroid pesticides. It poses lower risks to mammals, including humans, when compared to organophosphates and carbamates. It has helped prevent insect pests build up resistance to organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides.
Clothianidin is a chloronicotinyl nitroguanidine in the neonicotinoid class (Group 4) of insecticides. These compounds are acetylcholine receptor agonists/antagonists. Their mode of action is through the binding to the acetylcholine receptor and thus interfering with nerve transmission. Insects are exposed by either contact or ingestion.
Some Clothianidin contained pesticide have the label indicating functions like
- For the control of aphids and mirids in cotton and for the control of rust thrips and weevil borer in bananas.
- For the control of woolly aphid in apples; mealybugs and codling moth in apples and pears and green peach aphid and oriental fruit moth in peaches and nectarines.
- For control of African black beetle larvae in turf.
