Plinazolin technology and characteristics
- Formulated as Isocycloseram 9.2% w/w Dispersible Concentrate (DC), representing the novel isoxazoline chemistry class.
- Acts as an IRAC Group 30 GABA-gated chloride channel allosteric modulator, paralyzing insect nerves rapidly upon contact or ingestion.
- Offers outstanding sunlight and heat stability, ensuring sustained pest protection even under extreme field weather conditions.
Field applications in high-value vegetable crops
- Chilli: Controls invasive black thrips (Thrips parvispinus) and yellow mites, safeguarding vegetative flushes and flower retention.
- Brinjal: Suppresses fruit and shoot borer larvae (Leucinodes orbonalis) and jassids with extended residual efficacy.
- Tomato: Controls leaf miners, South American tomato pinworm (Tuta absoluta), and fruit borers.
- Demonstrates excellent rainfastness within one hour of spray application, reducing wash-off losses during the monsoon season.
Safe application and stewardship rules
- Initiate spraying at the early emergence of target pests, using calibrated sprayers and hollow-cone nozzles for complete leaf coverage.
- Adhere strictly to CIBRC approved label dosages and maintain recommended pre-harvest intervals before picking produce.
- Integrate into a broader IPM program and rotate with different chemical modes of action to manage resistance.
