EBS Cargar Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% Sc

Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC – Detailed Description

Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC is a broad-spectrum, systemic, and contact insecticide belonging to the anthranilic diamide group. It is formulated as a suspension concentrate (SC) and is widely used in agriculture to protect crops from a variety of chewing and lepidopteran pests. Its unique mode of action provides long-lasting control with minimal impact on beneficial insects, making it an effective and environmentally friendly option for pest management.

✅ Mode of Action

Chlorantraniliprole works by activating the ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in the muscles of insects, causing uncontrolled calcium release. This leads to:

• Muscle paralysis

• Feeding inhibition

• Lethargy and eventual death

Its systemic and translaminar properties allow the insecticide to penetrate plant tissues, making it effective against both surface and hidden pests.

• Stem borers (Chilo suppressalis)

• Leaf folders

• Leaf miners

• Pod borers

• Rice stem borers and leaf folders

🌿 Crops Protected
