Uses:
Dinotefuran is a broad-spectrum insecticide, which is proposed for food uses in/on leafy vegetables (except Brassica) (group 4), and for use in professional turf management, professional ornamental production, and in the residential indoor, pet, lawn and garden markets. Dinotefuran is a neonicotinoid in the nitroguanidine sub-class, same as another insecticide clothianidin. Available product chemistry, toxicology, ecological effects and environmental fate data supporting the proposed uses have been reviewed. The data and estimated risks to human health and the environment from its proposed uses are summarized below.
