Chlorantraniliprole+lufenuron pesticide for plants

The combination of Chlorantraniliprole+lufenuron is primarily used as a broad-spectrum insecticide targeting a wide range of chewing pests, especially in agriculture. Each component has a different mode of action, making the combination highly effective for both immediate and long-term pest control.

Primary Uses:

1. Chlorantraniliprole:
   • Mode of Action: Chlorantraniliprole is a ryanodine receptor modulator, causing paralysis and death in pests by disrupting calcium release in muscle cells. It provides excellent control of chewing insects and is particularly effective against lepidopteran larvae (such as caterpillars).
   • Targets: Caterpillars, leaf miners, beetles, and other pests that damage crops by feeding on leaves, stems, and fruits.
2. Lufenuron:
   • Mode of Action: Lufenuron is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that inhibits chitin synthesis, preventing insects from molting properly. It disrupts the development of eggs, larvae, and nymphs, effectively stopping their life cycle.
   • Targets: Insect larvae and eggs, primarily those of lepidopteran pests and coleopteran pests (such as beetles).

Target Pests:

• Lepidopteran larvae: Caterpillars (e.g., armyworms, cutworms, fruitworms)
• Leaf miners
• Beetle larvae
• Thrips
• Whiteflies

Applicable Crops:

• Vegetables: Tomatoes, peppers, leafy greens, cucumbers
• Fruits: Apples, pears, citrus, stone fruits
• Field Crops: Soybeans, corn, cotton
• Ornamentals: Flowering plants and ornamental trees

Benefits of the Combination:

• Immediate pest knockdown: Chlorantraniliprole provides quick control of active feeding stages, particularly caterpillars and other leaf-chewing pests.
• Lifecycle disruption: Lufenuron prevents the development of future generations of pests by targeting eggs and larvae, offering long-term protection.
• Broad-spectrum control: The combination is highly effective across different pest life stages, from adults to larvae and eggs, providing comprehensive pest management.

Application:

The product is typically applied as a foliar spray and should be used during the early stages of pest infestation for best results. It is especially effective when pests are actively feeding and laying eggs.
