Product Overview

NATERRA is a broad-spectrum insecticide that effectively controls a wide range of lepidopteran pests, including caterpillars, borers, and leafminers. It contains the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole, a novel anthranilic diamide insecticide that disrupts the ryanodine receptor (RyR) in insect muscles. This disruption leads to uncontrolled muscle contractions, paralysis, and eventually death of the insect. Chlorantraniliprole is highly effective against a broad spectrum of lepidopteran pests and has a long residual effect, providing lasting pest control.

Key Features

• Broad-spectrum insecticide
• Effective against a wide range of lepidopteran pests
• Long residual effect
• Safe for use on a variety of crops
• Compatible with other pesticides

Mode of Action

NATERRA acts as a stomach and contact insecticide. Chlorantraniliprole is ingested by or comes into contact with the insect's body and disrupts the ryanodine receptor (RyR) in insect muscles. The RyR is a protein channel that regulates the release of calcium ions, which are essential for muscle contraction. Disruption of the RyR leads to uncontrolled muscle contractions, paralysis, and eventually death of the insect.

Application Rates

The recommended application rate of NATERRA varies depending on the specific target pest, crop, and environmental conditions. It is essential to consult the product label for precise application rates tailored to each scenario.

Application Methods

NATERRA can be applied using various methods, including foliar spray, chemigation, and direct injection. The choice of application method depends on the target pest, crop, and grower's preference. Refer to the product label for specific application instructions for each method.

Restrictions

As with any insecticide, there are certain restrictions to consider when using NATERRA:

• Avoid applying NATERRA to crops under stress from drought, heat, or other environmental conditions.
• Maintain a minimum interval of 7-10 days between NATERRA application and other pesticide applications.
• Do not apply NATERRA to crops that are flowering or intended for human or animal consumption within the specified pre-harvest interval (PHI).
• Avoid using NATERRA in areas with sandy soils or high groundwater levels, as it may leach into water sources.

Storage and Disposal

Proper storage and disposal of NATERRA are crucial to ensure its effectiveness and safety:

• Store NATERRA in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
• Dispose of unused NATERRA and empty containers according to local regulations, avoiding contamination of water sources or the environment.

Safety Precautions

When handling and applying NATERRA, it is essential to prioritize safety:

• Wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a respirator, to minimize exposure to the product.
• Avoid direct contact of NATERRA with skin, eyes, or clothing.
• Handle NATERRA away from food and drink.
• Keep NATERRA out of reach of children and pets.
• Do not apply NATERRA in windy conditions to prevent drift onto non-target areas.
