NIGEN GR – Chlorantraniliprole 0.4% W/W GR

NIGEN GR – Chlorantraniliprole 0.4% W/W GR is a highly effective systemic insecticide formulated as a granular product (GR). It provides powerful control of a broad spectrum of chewing insect pests in important crops such as rice, vegetables, fruits, and cereals. NIGEN GR offers long-lasting protection by controlling pests at the soil and plant surface level, ensuring strong plant establishment, reduced pest damage, and improved crop yield and quality.

Mode of Action

• Ryanodine Receptor Modulator: Chlorantraniliprole activates ryanodine receptors in insect muscle cells → uncontrolled release of calcium ions → sustained muscle contraction → paralysis and death of insect pests.

• Systemic and Contact Activity: Absorbed by plant roots and translocated within the plant → protects both existing and new plant tissues.

• Long Residual Control: Provides extended protection against multiple pest generations.

Benefits

• Broad-spectrum control – Highly effective against stem borers, armyworms, leaf folders, cutworms, and other chewing insect pests.

• Systemic and contact protection – Moves within the plant to protect new growth and vulnerable tissues.

• Long residual action – Provides effective pest control for up to 20–30 days after application.

• Promotes strong crop establishment – Reduces early-stage pest damage, ensuring healthy growth and higher yields.

• Safe for crops – Suitable for a wide range of crops when used as recommended.

• Resistance management solution – Novel mode of action helps delay resistance development in pests.

Recommendations

• Crops: Rice, vegetables, fruits, cereals, and other commercial crops.

• Dosage: 10–15 kg per hectare applied uniformly in the soil before transplanting or sowing.
