Product Overview
CIRCADEN® Insecticide has a novel mode of action and acts by binding to and activating insect ryanodine receptors. This activation stimulates the release and depletion of calcium from the internal muscle stores, 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.
CIRCADEN® Insecticide is active as a larvicide through ingestion (stomach action) and through cuticular absorption (contact action).
CIRCADEN® Insecticide controls mainly Lepidopteran insect pests, but also some insect pests in other Orders e.g. Coleoptera, Diptera etc. Applications of CIRCADEN® Insecticide have been shown to leave substantial populations of many beneficial insects (predators, parasitoids and pollinators) as well as predatory mites and can therefore be used effectively in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes.
