• DEWAA • Chlorantraniliprole 0.4 % GR

Dewaa - Chlorantraniliprole 0.4% gr is a granular insecticide, meaning it is in a solid pellet form, containing 0.4% of the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole. This insecticide is used to control pests, particularly borers in crops like rice and sugarcane.

How it works Unique mode of action : It is a Ryanodine Receptor Activator, a type of insecticide with a novel mode of action that disrupts muscle function in target pests.

Mechanism : It causes the unregulated release of calcium (\(Ca^{2+}\)) from the muscle cells' internal stores, leading to impaired muscle function, paralysis, and feeding cessation.

Result : The pests stop feeding, become lethargic, and eventually die from starvation.

Benefits Pest control : It is highly effective against borers like the early shoot borer, top borer, and stem borer in sugarcane and rice.

Resistance management : It can be used to control insects that have become resistant to other common insecticides.

Non-target safety : It is selective and does not harm beneficial insects, such as predators and pollinators.

Easy application : The granular (GR) formulation allows for easy and consistent application in the field.
