General Information

Shenzi is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by UPL Limited in India. It is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation containing the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole 18.5%. Shenzi is effective against a wide range of pests, including lepidopteran pests such as bollworms, fruit borers, and leaf caterpillars.

Mode of Action

Chlorantraniliprole is an anthranilic diamide insecticide that works by disrupting the insect's ryanodine receptors. Ryanodine receptors are responsible for the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which is a muscle storage organelle. Disruption of ryanodine receptors leads to paralysis and death of the insect.

Application

Shenzi can be applied to crops using a variety of application methods, including foliar spraying, soil application, and seed treatment. The recommended dose varies depending on the target pest and the crop being treated.

Precautions

Shenzi is a moderately toxic insecticide. It is important to follow all safety precautions when handling and applying this product. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, long sleeves, pants, and a respirator. Do not apply Shenzi to crops in bloom, as this can harm bees and other beneficial insects.

Disclaimer

Please always read and follow the instructions on the product label before using any pesticide.
