Active ingredient and mode of action
- Contains Chlorantraniliprole 0.4% GR (granules), belonging to the IRAC Group 28 diamide insecticide class.
- Modulates insect ryanodine receptors, triggering an unregulated release of calcium ions from intracellular stores within insect muscle cells.
- Results in rapid muscle paralysis, immediate feeding cessation, lethargy, and ultimate mortality of target caterpillars and larvae.
Target pests and registered crops
- Paddy (rice): Effectively controls yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) and rice leaf folder (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis).
- Sugarcane: Controls early shoot borer (Chilo infuscatellus) and top borer (Scirpophaga excerptalis).
- Systemic uptake through plant roots provides extended protective coverage to emerging shoots and tillers during early vegetative stages.
Application timing and field best practices
- Paddy application: Broadcast granules uniformly in the nursery or main field during the early tillering window (typically 15 to 25 days after transplanting).
- Water management: Maintain a shallow layer of standing water (2 to 3 inches) in the paddy field for 2 to 3 days following application to facilitate root absorption.
- Strictly adhere to CIBRC approved label dosages and use personal protective gear while broadcasting granules.
