Unstoppable Power Against Rice Leaf Folder – 95% Mortality in Just 36 Hours
Jun 12,2026
1. Triple modes of action – fast knockdown + lasting control
Emamectin benzoate (IRAC Group 6) – activates glutamate-gated chloride channels, causing rapid paralysis and feeding cessation.
Chlorantraniliprole (IRAC Group 28) – activates ryanodine receptors, leading to muscle paralysis and death.
Chlorfenapyr (IRAC Group 13) – acts as a mitochondrial uncoupler, disrupting energy production.
Together, they deliver 95% mortality within just 36 hours, stopping leaf folder larvae before they cause serious damage.
2. Superior efficacy proven in field trials
Field studies have demonstrated excellent control of rice leaf folder using emamectin benzoate and chlorfenapyr combinations. Research also shows that 12% emamectin benzoate + chlorfenapyr SC provides outstanding control efficacy under field conditions.
3. The resistance management advantage
Resistance is a growing concern. Monitoring reports show that rice leaf folder populations have developed moderate to high levels of resistance to chlorantraniliprole alone (RR = 60.4–253.4-fold in many regions). Field trials also indicate that chlorantraniliprole alone has declining control effects.
By combining three different modes of action, this tank-mix stops resistance in its tracks.
4. Rapid feeding cessation – less crop damage
Emamectin benzoate and chlorantraniliprole cause larvae to stop feeding within hours of exposure. This rapid feeding arrest minimizes leaf damage and preserves photosynthetic capacity during the critical growth stages.
📌 Application Tips for Best Results
Timing – Apply during early larval stages (1st–2nd instar) or at egg hatch for optimal control. Rice leaf folder larvae are most susceptible when young.
Rate – Follow label recommendations for both products; adjust based on infestation pressure.
Rotation – Rotate with other mode-of-action groups (e.g., indoxacarb, spinetoram) to further delay resistance development.
Environmental caution – Avoid spraying during bloom. Keep away from water bodies and aquaculture areas.
