About Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC

Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC (e.g., UPL Atabron) is a highly effective chitin synthesis inhibitor, primarily targeting Lepidopteran caterpillars like DBM and Heliothis. It offers long-lasting, translaminar action, arresting larval molting and breaking the life cycle. Key benefits include improved crop yield, a phytotonic effect, and high efficacy in integrated pest management.

Key Agricultural Benefits:

Targeted Pest Control: Specifically controls tough, foliage-eating caterpillars and larvae, such as Spodoptera, Plutella (Diamondback Moth), and Heliothis.
Long-Lasting Protection: The product provides extended, long-duration control, reducing the need for frequent, costly sprays.
Unique Mechanism: As an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) with IRAC Group 15, it acts through both contact and stomach, inhibiting chitin synthesis, which stops the pest from forming a new cuticle during molting.
Crop Health Enhancement: It offers a "phytotonic effect," helping to boost plant vigor and health.
High Yield Potential: Field studies indicate improved crop quality and significantly higher grain/crop yields, with recorded yields of up to 18.25 q/ha in chickpeas.
Application Flexibility: It is suitable for use on various crops, including cotton, cabbage, cauliflower, and soybeans.
Favorable Profile: It has a relatively short pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 7 days, allowing for application closer to harvest.
Translaminar Action: The pesticide penetrates leaf tissue, providing control of insects on both sides of the leaf.

Usage Recommendations:

Dosage: Generally recommended at 20 ml per 10 liters of water (or approx 200-300 ml/acre depending on crop and infestation level).
Action: Best results are achieved when targeting early instar larvae.

Effective Control of Caterpillar Pests

Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC is designed to specifically target and control lepidopteran larvae, commonly known as caterpillars, in a wide range of crops. Its unique mode of action disrupts chitin formation, preventing larval development and reducing pest-related crop damage. This results in healthier plants and improved yields for farmers.

Safe and Convenient Application

With its emulsifiable concentrate formulation, Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC easily mixes with water, ensuring a uniform foliar spray. The product comes in HDPE drums of various sizes to suit operational needs. Simple storage conditions-cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas-combined with a shelf life of two years, promote both safety and efficacy for agricultural users.

FAQ's of Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC:

Q: How does Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC work to control caterpillar infestations?

A: Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC inhibits chitin synthesis in lepidopteran larvae, stopping them from molting and developing properly. This prevents the larvae from maturing, effectively reducing caterpillar populations and crop damage.

Q: What is the recommended process for applying Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC?

A: The product should be applied as a foliar spray, emulsified in water, at a dosage of 100-200 ml per hectare. Use higher rates in cases of severe pest infestations, always ensuring thorough and uniform crop coverage.

Q: When is the best time to use Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC on crops?

A: Apply Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC at the early stages of larval infestation for maximum effectiveness. Regular crop monitoring helps determine the optimal application time to manage pest populations proactively.

Q: Where should Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC be stored to maintain its quality?

A: This product should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or moisture. Following these storage guidelines preserves its effectiveness over the two-year shelf life.

Q: What are the benefits of using Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC in agriculture?

A: Key benefits include targeted caterpillar control, reduced crop damage, enhanced yields, and minimal risk when handled as directed due to its Hazard Class III classification. Its low odor and user-friendly formulation further improve its suitability for agricultural applications.

Q: Is Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC easy to handle and store for farmers and suppliers?

A: Yes, the emulsifiable concentrate formulation allows for easy mixing and spraying, while the HDPE drum packaging enhances safe storage and transport. The faint characteristic odor and manageable pH level (4.0-7.0) add to its user-friendly profile.
