Virtako Insecticide Technical Details
-
Technical Content: Chlorantraniliprole 0.5% GR + Thiamethoxam 1%
-
Mode of Entry: Dual Action
-
Mode of Action: Chlorantraniliprole is an insecticide from the anthranilic diamide class that targets ryanodine receptors, triggering the release of calcium ions from muscle cells, which leads to paralysis and eventual death in susceptible insect species. On the other hand, Thiamethoxam is a systemic, broad-spectrum insecticide that plants readily absorb and distribute throughout their tissues, including pollen, effectively deterring insect feeding by its presence.
