Combination Insecticide
CYHALODIAMIDE 5% + FLUFIPROLE 15% SC
A powerful insecticidal combination with complementary modes of action designed for difficult-to-control pests. It provides rapid knockdown with sustained residual control, making it an excellent choice for resistance management programs.
Active: Cyhalodiamide + Flufiprole
Formulation: SC (Suspension Concentrate)
Action: Dual (Ca+ Regulation & GABA Block)
Product Information
Mode of Action
Cyhalodiamide targets ryanodine receptors, disrupting calcium regulation in insect muscles leading to paralysis. Flufiprole blocks GABA-gated chloride channels causing hyperexcitation of the nervous system. This combination attacks pests via two distinct biochemical pathways.
Target Pests
- Bollworms (Helicoverpa armigera)
- Stem borers (Chilo spp., Scirpophaga spp.)
- Leafhoppers (Nephotettix spp.)
- Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)
- Early shoot borer (Chilo infuscatellus)
Key Benefits
Broad-spectrum control covering both lepidopteran caterpillars and sucking pests like leafhoppers.
Recommended Application
| Crop | Target Pest | Dosage |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Bollworms | Refer to Leaflet |
| Rice | Stem Borers, Leafhoppers | Refer to Leaflet |
| Sugarcane | Early Shoot Borer | Refer to Leaflet |
| Vegetables (Maize/Sweet Corn) | Fall Armyworm | Refer to Leaflet |
Dosage Note: Specific dosage rates (ml/ha) were not provided. Please consult the product leaflet or local agricultural guidelines for specific application rates and harvest intervals.
Application Instructions
1. Timing
Apply when pests are at early developmental stages (early instars). The rapid knockdown effect of Flufiprole combined with the residual activity of Cyhalodiamide ensures immediate and lasting protection.
2. Resistance Management
This product combines IRAC Group 28 (Diamides) and Group 2B (Phenylpyrazoles). It is highly effective for rotating with other chemical classes to prevent resistance buildup.
Safety Precautions
Environment: Flufiprole is potent; use with care near water bodies.
Handling: Wear full protective gear including gloves and face mask during mixing and application. Avoid inhalation of spray mist.
