    World Agrochemical Network Chinese website reported: Recently, the Portuguese Food and Veterinary Administration (DGAV) has urgently authorized Belchim's insecticide Teppeki (active ingredient: flonicamid) to control African citrus psyllids
    .
     
    According to government agencies, the purpose of this emergency authorization is to expand phytosanitary protection measures to prevent the introduction and spread of the bacteria that cause the most serious citrus disease Huanglongbing (HLB) in the Portuguese territory
    .
     
    African psyllids are carriers of Bacillus phloem
    .
    At present, this insect has appeared in important areas of the country, such as the northern coast and the Greater Lisbon area including the Setúbal Peninsula
    .

     
    Teppeki is a systemic insecticide that works after active aphids contact and ingest
    .
    It is a flonicamid-based product.
    Once ingested or absorbed, insects will immediately stop eating and die 3 to 5 days after use
    .

     
    Teppeki can quickly penetrate plants and transport upwards.
    It has cross-layer activity and contributes to its excellent efficacy and durability
    .
    Unlike most pesticides, there is no toxicological classification for its toxicity to humans and the environment
    .

     
    According to the International Organization for Biological Control (OILB), Teppeki is a specific aphid insecticide and is harmless or low-toxic to most insects
    .
     
      In addition, Teppeki's effect on pollinators is different from any insecticide, making it one of the insecticides that are non-toxic to bees and pollinators
    .
     
      According to Belchim, Teppeki's mode of action (IRAC Group 29) is different from other pesticides on the market, which makes the product a basic tool for rational decision-making to prevent the development of resistance
