Product Overview
New Amicor® insecticide, powered by the advanced Rynaxypyr® active ingredient, is a breakthrough insecticide that provides excellent protection against target pests in maize, sweetcorn, soybeans and sorghum.
AMICOR® has a novel mode of action and acts by binding to and activating insect ryanodine receptors. This activation stimulates release and depletion of calcium from the internal stores of muscles, resulting in impaired muscle regulation, paralysis and ultimately insect death. Death of the pest occurs within 2-3 days, but inhibition of insect movement and feeding occurs rapidly.
AMICOR® is active as a larvicide through ingestion (stomach action) and through cuticular absorption (contact action).
AMICOR® controls mainly Lepidopteran insect pests, but also some insect pests in other Orders e.g. Coleoptera, Diptera etc.

The withholding period or pre-harvest interval (PHI), i.e. number of days between last application and harvest, meets local maximum residue limits (MRL’s), but may not necessarily meet all those for export crops. Although this remedy has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, the registration holder does not warrant that it will be efficacious under all conditions because the action and effect thereof may be affected by factors such as abnormal climatic and storage conditions; quality of dilution water, compatibility with other substances not indicated on the label and the occurrence of resistance of the pest against the remedy concerned as well as by the method, time and accuracy of application. The registration holder furthermore does not accept responsibility for damage to crops, vegetation, the environment or harm to man or animal or for lack of performance of the remedy concerned due to failure of the user to follow the label instructions or to the occurrence of conditions which could not have been foreseen in terms of the registration. Consult the supplier immediately in the event of any uncertainty.
