Active ingredient and novel mode of action
- Contains Cyantraniliprole 10.26% w/w Oil Dispersion (OD), belonging to IRAC Group 28 (Ryanodine receptor modulators).
- Activates insect ryanodine receptors, depleting internal calcium reserves in muscle cells and producing rapid feeding cessation.
- Delivers cross-spectrum efficacy against both piercing-sucking pests and chewing lepidopteran caterpillar pests.
- Possesses systemic xylem mobility and translaminar penetration, protecting foliage undersides and new shoots.
Target pests and labeled vegetable crops
- Tomato: Controls whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), preventing tomato leaf curl virus (ToLCV) transmission, alongside fruit borer control.
- Chilli: Manages thrips, whiteflies, and fruit borers, supporting early crop establishment and bloom retention.
- Cabbage and cauliflower: Controls diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) and cabbage loopers.
- Gherkins and cucurbits: Suppresses leaf miners, whiteflies, and caterpillar complexes.
Application timing and best management practices
- Apply at early pest surge during vegetative and early flowering windows to secure clean plant canopies.
- Shake the oil dispersion container well before mixing, and ensure uniform coverage across leaves using clean water.
- Adhere strictly to CIBRC registered label dosages, observe pre-harvest intervals, and integrate with natural predator conservation.
