How It Works: Mode of Action
Chlorantraniliprole is in IRAC Group 28. It acts on ryanodine receptors, which are involved in insect muscle function. This nerve-and-muscle action is separate from its movement within the plant.
- Action on receptors: The active ingredient changes how insect ryanodine receptors work.
- Muscle disruption: This disrupts normal muscle function, causing contraction and paralysis in susceptible insects.
- Pest control: Paralysis disrupts normal activity and helps control the specified borers and leaf folder.
Group 28 identifies the resistance-management mode. Changing from another chlorantraniliprole brand or concentration is not a change of mode of action.

Dosage & Application Guide
Keep each crop’s broadcast quantity, pest-specific timing and harvest interval together.
Crop-Specific Granular Amounts & Timing
| Crop / target | Product quantity | Method / timing | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy: yellow stem borer; leaf folder | 4 kg/acre | Broadcast 15–35 days after transplanting | 53 days |
| Sugarcane: early shoot borer; top borer | 7.5 kg/acre | Early shoot borer: sowing to first irrigation; top borer: when eggs are first visible | 147 days |
PHI is the minimum interval between the last application and harvest.
Do not dissolve these granules into a foliar-spray recipe or substitute the directions for other chlorantraniliprole concentrations or formulations.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Choose the crop and pest: Use the paddy and sugarcane rates only for their matching pests.
- Match the timing: Use the stated transplanting window in paddy and the pest-specific timing in sugarcane, subject to the supplied label.
- Broadcast as directed: Distribute the granules using the label’s equipment, protective measures and field-water instructions.
- Respect the harvest interval: Keep the crop-specific PHI and current label treatment limits in the application record.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kashima a spray insecticide?No. Kashima is chlorantraniliprole 0.4% GR for broadcast application, not an SC spray formulation.
How do the paddy and sugarcane rates differ?Paddy uses 4 kg/acre with a 53-day harvest interval. Sugarcane uses 7.5 kg/acre with a 147-day harvest interval. Keep each rate with its crop and target.
When is it used in paddy?Broadcast 15–35 days after transplanting for yellow stem borer and leaf folder.
When is it used against sugarcane borers?For early shoot borer, apply from sowing to first irrigation. For top borer, apply when eggs are first visible.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Use only on crops and targets authorised by the supplied label and leaflet, and follow applicable local restrictions. The information here does not replace the current pack directions. Follow every application limit, harvest interval and re-entry requirement; an unstated interval is not zero days.
Chlorantraniliprole is toxic to silkworms. Prevent exposure of silkworms and mulberry foliage. Observe the label’s sericulture precautions and do not rotate to mulberry after crops routinely treated with chlorantraniliprole formulations.
Wear the protective clothing and equipment specified on the label. Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing dust, spray or mist. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling. Keep children, animals, food and feed away; wash thoroughly after use.
Store in the original labelled container as directed. Prevent drift, spills and washings from contaminating water, and follow the label’s wildlife and pollinator precautions. Follow its first-aid instructions if exposure occurs and seek medical advice. Dispose of residues and empty packs safely; never reuse containers.
