Combination Insecticide
CYHALODIAMIDE 10% + METAFLUMIZONE 10% SC
An innovative combination of an anthranilic diamide and a semicarbazone. This dual-action insecticide provides superior control of lepidopteran pests, offering extended residual activity and excellent resistance management compatibility.
Active: Cyhalodiamide + Metaflumizone
Formulation: SC (Suspension Concentrate)
Action: Dual (Feeding Cessation & Paralysis)
Product Information
Mode of Action
Cyhalodiamide activates ryanodine receptors causing unregulated calcium release in muscle cells. Metaflumizone blocks sodium channels preventing nerve signal transmission. This synergistic combination causes rapid feeding cessation, paralysis, and mortality.
Target Pests
- Bollworms (Helicoverpa armigera, Pectinophora gossypiella)
- Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)
- Stem borers (Chilo suppressalis, Scirpophaga incertulas)
- Fruit borers (Helicoverpa armigera)
- Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella)
Key Benefits
Excellent tool for resistance management and IPM programs due to its novel combination of chemistries.

Application Instructions
1. Application Timing
Apply at the early larval stages for maximum efficacy. The rapid feeding cessation property ensures that crop damage stops almost immediately after application.
2. Resistance Management
This product combines two different modes of action (Group 28 and Group 22B), making it highly effective against pests resistant to conventional insecticides. Rotate with other chemistries to maintain this efficacy.
