The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has proposed to approve Dow AgroSciences’ Transform Insecticide based on sulfoxaflor (240g/L), for the control of aphids and a range of other insect pests in canola, cereals, cotton, soybeans and various fruit and vegetable crops. The APVMA has proposed to register the sulfoxaflor as a new active ingredient.

Sulfoxaflor is an insecticide, belonging to the chemical class of sulfoximines, and it acts through a unique interaction with the nicotine acetylcholine receptor in insects.

Sulfoxaflor has been registered in many countries such as Korean, US, China etc.
