I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
- Toxicity group: III.
- First registered for use in Vietnam in 2008.
- Belonging to the Ryanoid insecticide group, chemical formula: C18H14BrCl2N5O2
II. MECHANISM - CHARACTERISTICS OF ACTION
- Acts by contact and ingestion.
- When in contact with plants, Chlorantraniliprole will bind to a receptor called Ryanodine - this receptor is directly related to the body's calcium operation process, the binding creates calcium leakage, leading to the insect's muscles stopping working, paralyzing and dying.
III. ADVANTAGES
- Wide spectrum of action: Chlorantraniliprole belongs to a new group of broad spectrum insecticides, effective on many types of insects belonging to the order Moths, Beetles, Flies, Termites and ticks, killing caterpillars and larvae.
- Strong permeability: For liquid products, the pesticide can penetrate deeply through the upper and lower surfaces of leaves, increasing the effectiveness of pest control.
- Long-lasting effect: Chlorantraniliprole can last long in crops, the effect can last up to 20 days. This helps reduce input costs significantly for farmers.
- Fast effect: According to practical studies from the field, pests stop biting and die after 2-3 days of exposure to the drug.
IV. TOXICITY LEVEL OF CHLORANTRANILIPROLE
- For humans: Chlorantraniliprole has low toxicity, does not cause skin irritation, but causes eye irritation when exposed, affecting health if exposed for a long time.
- For other organisms: Chlorantraniliprole has low toxicity to fish, is not toxic to birds, mammals and invertebrates in soil. However, it is especially toxic to invertebrates in water, such as shrimp.
