Key Properties of Cyantraniliprole
1. High activity against young larvae, largely ineffective against eggs. Best results are achieved when used in the early stages of pest infestation. Because eggs lack muscle tissue, this pesticide is ineffective against them, but it can reduce the survival rate of newly hatched larvae.
2. Broader insecticidal spectrum. Its stronger systemic activity gives bromnipotentiamide a broader insecticidal spectrum than chlorantraniliprole. It is effective not only against chewing Lepidoptera and Coleoptera pests, but also against piercing-sucking Hemiptera and Diptera pests. Furthermore, it is effective against rasping-sucking Thysanoptera pests.
3. Positive temperature effect; the higher the temperature, the better the control effect.
4. Low toxicity to mammals. This pesticide exhibits significant selectivity differences in its effect on the muscle receptors of mammals and pests, greatly improving its safety to mammals, vertebrates, and other natural enemies. It has low toxicity to birds, fish, algae, and earthworms, and is relatively safe to beneficial environmental organisms such as parasitic and predatory natural enemies, but it has higher toxicity to Daphnia, bees, and silkworms.
5. This pesticide is easily photolyzed and hydrolyzed; the solution should be prepared and used immediately. It has some water solubility and poor soil adsorption, making it easily leached. Soil treatment is not recommended, especially in fields with poor water retention.
6. It has strong compatibility. Depending on the pest control requirements, it can be mixed with various insecticides with different mechanisms of action. For example, to control lepidopteran larvae, emamectin benzoate, abamectin, lambda-cyhalothrin, bifenthrin, and chlorfenapyr can be selected, resulting in rapid death of pests after poisoning. To control piercing-sucking pests, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, dinotefuran, acetamiprid, pymetrozine, isoprocarb, and acetamiprid can be selected.
