CUT THROAT

Active Ingredient: Chlorantraniliprole + Methoxyfenozide

Pack Size:                50 ML

Key Features: CUT THROAT is a widely used insecticide in agriculture for controlling a variety of pests, particularly caterpillars, beetles, and grubs. It’s part of the anthranilic diamide class and works by disrupting muscle contraction in insects. It’s used on various crops, including fruits, vegetables, potatoes, rice, cotton, and turf grass, as well as in landscaping and seed treatments.

Methaxifenazide can be used on various crops including rice, soybean, cotton, cabbage, apple, and tomato.
Effective against pests like striped rice borer, beet armyworm, leaf roller, looper, and leafworm.

Mechanism of action: Chlorantraniliprole is an insecticide that works by activating insect ryanodine receptors, leading to muscle paralysis and death. This mechanism is selective for insect receptors, minimizing impact on non-target organisms. It’s effective against a wide range of pests, including lepidopterans, coleopterans, dipterans, and hemipterans.

Methoxyfenozide’s mode of action in agriculture involves mimicking the insect molting hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), to disrupt the molting process in Lepidoptera larvae. By binding to the ecdysone receptor and accelerating molting, it causes premature and ultimately unsuccessful molts, leading to larval death.

Application: The combination of chlorantraniliprole and methoxyfenozide is often applied via foliar sprays, with applications targeting the early larval stages of lepidopteran pests like cabbage and beet armyworms. Specific application methods include ensuring thorough coverage of both leaf surfaces, using appropriate dilution rates to ensure even distribution, and avoiding application during windy conditions or when rain is expected
