Cyazypyr Active Molecule and Broad Pest Spectrum
Cyantraniliprole belongs to the anthranilic diamide chemical class. It binds to insect ryanodine receptors, triggering an unregulated release of internal calcium stores that paralyzes insect muscle function and halts feeding within minutes.
Its oil dispersion (OD) formulation maximizes leaf adherence and translaminar penetration into thick vegetable canopies.
- Sucking pests: Whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci), aphids, and thrips complex.
- Chewing pests: Diamondback moth in cabbage, fruit borers in tomato, and shoot and fruit borer in brinjal.
- Early crop protection: Applying during the vegetative flush protects tender seedlings and young leaves from virus-transmitting vectors.
- Cross-spectrum control: Manages multiple pest types in a single spray application, reducing operational spraying frequency.
Application Timing and Spray Stewardship
Early preventative spray upon initial pest detection ensures maximum seedling vigor and minimizes insect-vectored viral diseases.
Proper agitation of the oil dispersion formulation ensures uniform chemical distribution throughout the spray tank.
- Shake the product container thoroughly before measuring and pouring into the spray solution.
- Calibrate sprayers to provide complete coverage on both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
- Rotate with alternative chemistries having different modes of action to maintain long-term insect susceptibility.

What is the active ingredient in FMC Benevia?
Benevia contains Cyantraniliprole 10.26% OD, an anthranilic diamide insecticide targeting ryanodine receptors.
Why is Benevia described as a cross-spectrum insecticide?
It simultaneously controls both sucking pests (such as whiteflies and thrips) and chewing caterpillars (such as fruit borers and moths).
What crops are labeled for Benevia application?
It is widely registered for vegetables including tomato, brinjal, chilli, cabbage, and onion per CIBRC approved label clearances.
