MODE OF ACTION
JCB is absorbed quickly by plants and transported to all its parts, including pollen, where it acts to deter insect feeding
An insect can absorb it in its stomach after feeding, or through direct contact, including through its tracheal system.
The compound gets in the way of information transfer between nerve cells by interfering with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system, and eventually paralyzes the muscles of the insects.
