Benefits of Cimegra
- In the insect’s nervous system there are two types of signals transferred between cells — excitatory signals and inhibitory signals. Balance between these signals is crucial for normal insect behavior. Neurotransmitters, such as GABA, communicate these signals between cells.
- In a normally functioning nervous system, GABA released by one cell activates GABA receptors of another cell, resulting in inhibition. Broflanilide insecticide prevents GABA from transmitting inhibitory signals, which causes overexcitation of the nervous system and leads to incapacitation of the insect. It does this by binding to a novel insecticide site on the GABA receptor that locks it closed.
