Description:

AGRIVENTURE CARZONE SILVER is a systemic granular insecticide widely used to control lepidopteran pests (such as stem borers, leaf folders, and shoot borers) in crops like rice and sugarcane. It is highly valued for its long-lasting, root-uptake protection and safety for beneficial insects.

Technical content: Chlorantraniliprole 0.4% GR

Key Features & Benefits:

• Long-Lasting Protection: Once applied, the plant absorbs the active ingredient through its roots, providing systemic protection that shields the crop for several weeks.
• Quick Feeding Cessation: It targets the neuromuscular system of insects. Pests stop feeding almost immediately upon ingestion or contact, which prevents further damage to the crop.
• Easy Application: As a granular formulation, it is simply broadcast across fields, eliminating the need for spraying equipment or water mixing.
• Safe for Beneficial Insects: It selectively targets harmful pests, preserving pollinators, predators, and natural enemies.
• Promotes Crop Health: By preventing early-stage pest damage, the crop develops stronger roots and shoots, resulting in higher overall yields.

Crops suitability: Highly suitable for Paddy (Rice), Sugarcane, and Maize.

Commonly used for (Insect / Diseases): 

AGRIVENTURE CARZONE SILVER is a systemic insecticide specifically used to control destructive caterpillars and borer pests. It primarily targets stem borers and leaf folders in paddy (rice) and shoot/top borers in sugarcane.

Mode of entry: Systemic

Mode of action:

• Receptor Activation: The active ingredient targets and binds to the ryanodine receptors located in the insect's muscle cells.
• Calcium Release: This binding forces the muscle calcium channels to open, leading to an unregulated and continuous release of ions from internal stores into the cytoplasm.
• Paralysis: The sudden influx of calcium ions causes the insect's muscles to deplete their energy reserves, resulting in immediate cessation of feeding followed by rapid muscle paralysis.
• Death: Unable to move or feed, the pest eventually dies from starvation and lethal lethargy within 2 to 4 days.

Mode of application: Broadcasting
