Product details
Cover Liq Insecticide | Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% w/w SC
A liquid insecticide for the listed borers and caterpillars. Match the crop and pest first, then check the supplied label for the correct method, dose and harvest interval.
What it controls: The crop-specific borers, caterpillars and other insects listed below; not every pest on every crop.
When to use it: When crop monitoring and the current label indicate treatment is needed. No fixed repeat schedule is given here.
What to include: The exact Cover Liq label directions, the right equipment and a crop-specific harvest interval before application.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🎯Crop-specific insect control: The manufacturer identifies a range of chewing insects. Use the target table to separate these uses instead of treating “broad spectrum” as permission for any insect problem.
- 🍃Acts mainly when insects feed: Susceptible insects take up the treatment while feeding. Contact activity also contributes; neither feature removes the need to follow the labelled application method.
- ⚙️A different muscle target: Chlorantraniliprole affects the controls that make insect muscles work. This is a different mode of action from many nerve-targeting insecticides.
- 🧴Clearly identified liquid formulation: Cover Liq contains 18.5% chlorantraniliprole in SC form. It is not interchangeable, measure for measure, with the similarly named Cover GR.
- 🔎A named resistance group: IRAC Group 28 helps identify which other products share this mode of action. Use that information when planning label-approved alternatives.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Cover Liq is an insecticide, not a treatment for crop diseases or a fertiliser. Its active ingredient works on susceptible insect muscles.
- The insect is exposed: Exposure occurs mainly by feeding, with some contact activity. This describes how the ingredient enters the insect, not whether a crop requires foliar, soil or another placement.
- Muscle control is disrupted: The ingredient acts on ryanodine receptors, the switches that regulate calcium within muscle cells.
- Normal movement and feeding break down: Affected muscles contract abnormally and the insect becomes paralysed. This explanation is not a guarantee of control within a set number of hours or days.
A different brand can contain the same active ingredient and mode-of-action group. Plan any further treatment using the current label and qualified local advice, not the brand name alone.

|
| Cabbage |
|
| Sugarcane |
|
| Chilli |

|
| Bengal gram |
|
| Black gram |
|
| Bitter gourd |
|
| Okra |
|
| Maize |

| Tomato |
|
Use only on crops and targets allowed by the current Indian pack label. A website summary does not add uses to that label.
Tomato fruit borer is named in Dhanuka’s tomato-pest guidance. The product-page tomato row itself has an empty target entry. Sugarcane lists different pests and rates without a clear placement-to-rate mapping, so these are not merged into one treatment programme.
Dosage & Application Guide
A complete numerical programme is withheld because the reviewed primary sources do not establish the application method and water volume for each crop. The liquid formulation and retailer spray instructions are not sufficient to fill that gap.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All listed crops | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
*Dose, water, per-litre dose and pre-harvest interval: confirm these together with the exact crop–pest application method on the supplied Cover Liq label. Manufacturer website rates alone are not presented as a complete treatment instruction.
Do not borrow a dose, soil treatment or harvest interval from Cover GR or another chlorantraniliprole brand. No universal pump dose, repeat interval, worker re-entry time or rainfast period is established here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the problem: Check that the insect and crop match an allowed use. Damage alone may not identify the pest; seek qualified crop advice if unsure.
- Resolve the method before measuring: Read the crop-specific pack directions for placement, product quantity, water and timing. Do not assume that every use of an SC liquid is a leaf spray.
- Use calibrated equipment: Once the label programme is confirmed, measure the treated area and calibrate the equipment to that method. Do not treat pack size or tank capacity as an area measurement.
- Avoid unsupported mixtures: Use an adjuvant or tank mixture only when the relevant labels and qualified advice support it. A jar test cannot establish crop safety, legal use or biological compatibility.
- Record the treatment: Record the crop, pest, method, date and amount. Use the crop-specific harvest interval and other restrictions from the supplied label before harvest or further treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Cover Liq the same as Cover GR?No. This listing is chlorantraniliprole 18.5% w/w SC. Cover GR is a different formulation with a different concentration and use instructions. Never transfer its dose or placement to this liquid.
2. Why are the numerical dose cells not filled?The manufacturer page gives area rates but does not supply a complete crop-by-crop method and water programme. Sugarcane also has an unclear rate-to-pest mapping. Publishing those numbers as ready-to-use instructions would hide important missing information.
3. Can I use it for all pests on the listed crops?No. Match the precise crop and insect to the current label. The target list does not establish control of sap-feeding pests, mites or diseases that are not named.
4. How soon can I harvest?Check the supplied label for the exact crop and treatment. No verified exact-brand harvest interval is supplied here. The pre-harvest interval is not the same as a repeat-treatment or worker re-entry interval.
5. Can I keep using a different Group 28 brand?Changing the brand does not necessarily change the mode of action. Count all Group 28 treatments in the crop programme, combine monitoring with other suitable pest-management measures and follow qualified local resistance-management advice.
