Minecto Xtra Technical Details

• Technical Name: Cyantraniliprole 16.9% + Lufenuron 16.9% SC

• Mode of Entry: Systemic

• Mode of Action:Minecto Xtra Syngenta combines the intrinsic activity of both active ingredients, CYNT and LUFE, and widens the activity spectrum or increases activity level, especially for Lepidopteran species. Cyantraniliprole is a ryanodine receptor (RyR) modulator which kills insects through unregulated activation of RyR. Insects exposed to cyantraniliprole become lethargic, paralyzed, and eventually die. Lufenuron works by regulating growth by inhibiting chitin synthesis in insects.
