Triflumezopyrim, a mesoionic insecticide, has high efficiency at a low dosage, and is mainly used to control hopper species. Triflumezopyrim mainly acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) inhibition, which is very highly efficient, rapidly effective, and nearly nontoxic to nontarget arthropods[1].
