The Strength of Chlorantraniliprole

Chlorantraniliprole, developed over the past decade, is one of the most effective insecticides in modern agriculture. However, its prolonged single-use has led to diminished effectiveness due to resistance in pest populations. To tackle this issue, several classic formulations combining Chlorantraniliprole with other active ingredients have been developed. These formulations control over 400 different pest species, solving numerous pest management challenges. Among them, the combination of Chlorantraniliprole and Emamectin Benzoate stands out.

Emamectin Benzoate and Chlorantraniliprole Formulation

The Insecticide Combination formulation is a top choice for managing pests during summer and autumn. This combination merges the strengths of Emamectin Benzoate, which primarily works through contact and stomach poisoning, with Chlorantraniliprole, known for its systemic and penetrating capabilities. When used together, they compensate for each other’s weaknesses and provide exceptional control over various noctuid pests, including beet armyworm, fall armyworm, cotton bollworm, tobacco budworm, and the common cutworm.

Chlorantraniliprole, as a ryanodine receptor activator, disrupts the calcium balance within insect muscle cells, causing paralysis and death. Emamectin Benzoate, an avermectin derivative, enhances this effect by increasing chloride ion influx, leading to prolonged paralysis and mortality. Their combined action results in a potent synergy, effectively tackling even the most resilient pest populations.
