Cyantraniliprole

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Activation of ryanodine receptors

Common Product Names: Verimark

What is it?

Cyantraniliprole is a relatively new insecticide that has gained popularity due to its broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of insect pests. It is effective against chewing and sucking insects, including aphids, whiteflies, caterpillars, and beetles. This insecticide is known for its strong systemic properties, allowing it to be absorbed by plants and protect against pests that feed on treated plants. Cyantraniliprole can be used in a variety of settings, including agriculture, horticulture, and ornamental plant care. Its versatility and effectiveness have made it a preferred choice for managing pest populations in various crops, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. Results from cyantraniliprole applications can typically be seen within hours, as the affected insects become paralyzed and stop feeding. The full impact on the insect population can be observed within a few days. Cyantraniliprole has a residual effect, providing ongoing protection against pests for several weeks after application.

How does it work? 

Cyantraniliprole works by disrupting the normal functioning of insect muscle cells. It specifically targets the ryanodine receptors, which are critical for muscle contraction. When these receptors are activated by cyantraniliprole, they cause an uncontrolled release of calcium ions within the insect’s muscle cells. This leads to muscle paralysis and, eventually, the death of the insect.

Benefits
