Chlorantraniliprole belongs to IRAC Group 28.

Technical Name:

Chlorantraniliprole

Mode of Action:

Chlorantraniliprole is a Ryanodine Receptor Modulator (IRAC Group 28). It disrupts calcium release in insect muscle cells, resulting in rapid cessation of feeding, paralysis and death of target larvae.

• Effective control of major caterpillar and borer pests.
• Provides strong larval insect control.
• Rapidly stops feeding activity of susceptible larvae.
• Distinct IRAC Group 28 mode of action.
• Helps protect crops from further feeding damage.
• Suitable for integrated resistance-management programs when used according to the label.

For liquid SC formulations, dilute the recommended quantity in water and apply uniformly as a foliar spray using suitable spraying equipment. Avoid application during adverse weather conditions. Always follow the product label for crop-specific instructions.
