? What is Adama Cosayr?

Adama Cosayr is a broad-spectrum insecticide that provides excellent control of lepidopteran pests such as stem borers, leaf folders, and fruit borers. It contains Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% w/w SC, a Group 28 insecticide known for its novel mode of action and long residual activity.

Cosayr acts on the ryanodine receptors in insect muscles, causing uncontrolled calcium release, leading to paralysis and death of the pest. It is safe on beneficial insects and ideal for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.

? Mode of Action

Chlorantraniliprole works by activating ryanodine receptors in insect muscles, which disrupts calcium ion balance. This results in muscular paralysis, feeding cessation, and ultimately death of the insect.
