The "Brahmastra" against resistant caterpillars and borers for Cotton, Rice, Maize, and Sugarcane.
Coragen® Insecticide is a revolutionary crop protection solution introduced by FMC. Powered by the active ingredient Rynaxypyr® (Chlorantraniliprole), it offers a unique mode of action that controls pests resistant to older chemicals. It is the industry standard for long-duration control of Stem Borers, Leaf Folders, and the Bollworm complex, ensuring your crop stays healthy and green.
Best For: Farmers seeking long-term protection (up to 21 days) and safety for their crops and the environment.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Action: Pests stop feeding within minutes of ingestion. This prevents crop damage almost immediately, even if the insect dies later.
- 🛡️Long-Lasting Protection: Provides residual control for 18–21 days, reducing the number of sprays required per season and saving labor costs.
- ⏳Ovi-Larvicidal Power: It kills the larvae as they hatch from the egg (neonates), preventing them from ever establishing on the plant.
- 🌧️Excellent Rainfastness: Becomes rainfast within 2 hours of application. It binds effectively to the leaf surface, making it ideal for the monsoon (Kharif) season.
- 🌿Green Label Safety: Classified with a "Green Triangle," it is safe for the applicator and beneficial insects, making it perfect for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

How It Works: Mode of Action
Coragen works by targeting the insect's muscle system. It binds to the Ryanodine Receptors in muscle cells, causing an uncontrolled release of stored calcium.
- Activation: Upon ingestion or contact, the chemical causes calcium reserves in the insect's muscles to empty rapidly.
- Paralysis: Without calcium, the muscles lose the ability to contract. The insect suffers immediate paralysis.
- Starvation: The pest stops feeding within minutes. Unable to move or eat, the larva dies within 1–3 days.
Note: Because it targets insect-specific receptors, it has virtually no effect on humans or livestock.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Dilution rates vary based on crop height and water volume.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 60 ml | 200 L | 0.3 ml | 47 Days |
| Cotton | 60 ml | 200 L | 0.3 ml | 9 Days |
| Maize | 80 ml | 200 L | 0.4 ml | - |
| Sugarcane | 100-120 ml | 400 L | 0.3 ml | - |
| Tomato/Chilli | 60 ml | 200 L | 0.3 ml | 3 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the early stage of pest infestation (ETL levels) or as a preventative spray during flowering/fruiting. For Maize, apply into the whorl.
- Mixing: Shake the bottle vigorously before use to re-suspend the particles. Do not mix with highly alkaline chemicals (like Bordeaux mixture).
- Coverage: Use a "Hollow Cone" nozzle for foliar sprays to ensure a fine mist covers both sides of the leaves.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Coragen effective against Pink Bollworm?
Yes, it is highly effective against Pink Bollworm neonate larvae. However, due to rising resistance, it is best used in rotation with other insecticides (like Emamectin Benzoate) and limited to 2 sprays per season.
2. Can I use Coragen on Maize for Fall Armyworm?
Absolutely. It is a recommended treatment for Fall Armyworm. Ensure the spray is directed into the leaf whorl where the larvae hide. The dosage is slightly higher (80ml/acre) for maize.
3. Is it safe for honey bees?
Coragen has a "Green Label" and is relatively safe for bees once the spray has dried. To be safe, avoid spraying when bees are actively foraging (spray in the late evening).
4. Can I mix Coragen with fungicides?
Yes, it is physically compatible with many common fungicides like Propiconazole (Tilt) or Hexaconazole. Do not add extra stickers/spreaders if the mix partner already has them.
5. How does the Sugarcane drench work?
For sugarcane, mix 100-120ml in 400L water and apply over the setts in the furrow before covering with soil. The plant absorbs it via roots, protecting the shoot from borers and termites for up to 60 days.
