What is Thiacloprid?

The Uses of Thiacloprid

Insecticide.

Definition

ChEBI: Thiacloprid is a nitrile that is cyanamide in which the hydrogens are replaced by a 1,3-thiazolidin-2-ylidene group which in turn is substituted by a (6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl group at the ring nitrogen. It has a role as a xenobiotic, an environmental contaminant and a neonicotinoid insectide. It is a member of thiazolidines, a nitrile and a monochloropyridine. It is functionally related to a 2-chloropyridine and a cyanamide.

General Description

Thiacloprid is a chloronicotinyl insecticide, which can be commonly used in agriculture in order to control various sucking insects like aphids, whiteflies and some jassids. It can also be actively used against weevils, leaf miners and various species of beetles.
