Product details
Coragen Insecticide | Chlorantraniliprole 18.5%
SC
FMC Coragen controls susceptible caterpillars and other
crop-specific pests. Pack volume is not a field-dose instruction.
Active ingredients
Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% w/w SC (20% w/v). suspension concentrate.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🐛 Caterpillar control: Particularly active
against susceptible caterpillar larvae.
-
🌿 Feeding protection: Affected larvae stop
feeding as normal muscle control is disrupted.
-
🌱 Sugarcane pest control: Separate drench
uses target termites, early shoot borer and top borer.

|---|---|
| Brand and pack |
Coragen — FMC India; Rynaxypyr active. |
| Active ingredient and formulation |
Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% w/w SC (20% w/v); suspension concentrate. |
| Chemical and resistance group |
Anthranilic diamide; IRAC 28 — ryanodine receptor modulators. |
How It Works: Mode of Action
Coragen acts primarily through feeding. Chlorantraniliprole disrupts the channels that regulate
calcium in insect muscles. Affected larvae stop feeding, become paralysed and die. Scout afterwards rather than repeating
automatically.
Target Crops & Pests
Coragen targets specified caterpillars and borers in cereals, pulses, vegetables, cotton and
groundnut. Sugarcane also has a separate termite drench use. Match each crop with its targets and route below.
For maize, the numerical programme covers spotted and pink stem borers, not fall armyworm.
Sugarcane requires drenching rather than a foliar spray.
Dosage & Application Guide
For crops other than sugarcane, start foliar treatment when the pest population reaches the
economic threshold, preferably during vegetative growth or at the onset of flowering. Sugarcane timing and rice drone conditions are
explained below. Acre figures are approximate conversions of the original hectare rates.

How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Sugarcane timing: Drench setts or soil at planting for termites and the named borers. For borer control, soil drenching may also be
directed at the seedling base before the first or second irrigation. Later top-borer broods (third to fifth) have a separate June
soil-drench timing.
-
Conventional equipment: Use a manual or battery knapsack sprayer or foot sprayer with a hollow-cone nozzle. Match water to the crop
and maintain coverage.
-
Mixing: Mix the measured product with a small quantity of water, then add the remainder while stirring thoroughly.
-
Rice drone treatment: Use a suitable UAV with a rotary or flat-fan nozzle producing 70–250 μm droplets. Maintain a 4 m buffer
around the field perimeter. Select nozzle, speed and height for uniform coverage; avoid wind and adverse weather and clean equipment
before and after treatment.
-
Resistance management: Do not expose successive pest generations to Group 28. Use a treatment window no longer than one pest
generation, then change to an effective different group. Total Group 28 treatment windows must not exceed 50% of the crop cycle; include
non-chemical measures and monitor control.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the pack size determine treated acreage?
No. Area covered depends on the crop, target and application rate, not the retail pack size.
2. Are sugarcane directions a foliar spray?
No. Sugarcane uses sett or soil drenching at the target-specific timing and rate.
3. Can conventional rice water be used for a drone, or vice versa?
No. Conventional rice uses 500 L/ha; the rice drone programme uses 20 L/ha. Keep each programme with its own
equipment and drift precautions.
4. How many applications are permitted?
At most one application per crop cycle for rice and sugarcane, and two for the other crops shown. These
limits do not replace harvest intervals or Group 28 rotation rules.
5. When can workers return?
Keep people out for at least 24 hours and until the spray has dried. The crop-specific harvest interval is
separate.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Follow the supplied label and leaflet for the exact crop, pest and route. Observe
the harvest intervals, application limits and worker-entry precautions.
Wear a long-sleeved shirt, long trousers, chemical-resistant gloves, mask, goggles and covered shoes.
Avoid inhaling spray or contact with skin and eyes. Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew while handling. Never blow a blocked
nozzle with your mouth. Wash after work and launder contaminated clothing separately.
Toxic to silkworms. Prevent drift onto mulberry plantations or silkworm-culture facilities. Do not
rotate to mulberry after crops where chlorantraniliprole was commonly used as a foliar or soil treatment. Keep product, spills
and washings out of water and protect aquaculture and other non-target organisms.
Store closed in the original container, locked away from children, livestock, food and animal feed in a
dry, ventilated place. Never reuse empty containers. Dispose of leftovers, rinsings and packaging through current authorised
arrangements without contaminating the environment.
For suspected poisoning, seek medical help with the pack or label. Move an affected person to fresh
air. Wash exposed skin with soap and plenty of water. Rinse eyes gently with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; obtain
medical advice for continuing symptoms. Do not induce vomiting unless a clinician directs it or give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
