Nexchem Corium Insecticide - Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC

Nexchem Corium Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC Insecticide – 150 ml

Nexchem Corium is a modern agricultural insecticide containing Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% w/w SC. It belongs to the anthranilic diamide group of insecticides and is classified under IRAC Group 28.

Corium is designed primarily for the management of damaging caterpillar and borer pests. Chlorantraniliprole acts on the insect's muscular system through ryanodine receptors, resulting in rapid feeding cessation, muscular paralysis and eventual death of susceptible insects.

The product is suitable for use only on crops, pests, doses and application timings approved on the current Nexchem Corium product label and leaflet.

Product Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

• Advanced Group 28 Chemistry: Chlorantraniliprole belongs to the anthranilic diamide class of insecticides.
• Effective Against Caterpillar Pests: Particularly useful against several economically important lepidopteran larvae and borers.
• Rapid Feeding Cessation: Susceptible insects stop feeding soon after exposure, helping reduce further crop damage.
• Unique Mode of Action: Acts on insect ryanodine receptors and disrupts normal calcium release in muscle cells.
• Larvicidal Activity: Particularly effective against damaging larval stages of insect pests.
• Longer Crop Protection: Chlorantraniliprole formulations are known for useful residual activity when applied correctly.
• Multiple Crop Applications: Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC is registered in India on a wide range of field, vegetable and pulse crops, subject to the individual product label.
• IPM Compatibility: Group 28 insecticides can be incorporated into properly planned Integrated Pest Management and resistance-management programmes.

How Corium Works

Chlorantraniliprole activates insect muscle ryanodine receptors. This causes uncontrolled release of calcium stored inside muscle cells.

The resulting disruption of calcium balance leads to:

• Rapid cessation of feeding
• Loss of normal muscular function
• Paralysis of the insect
• Death of susceptible pests

By causing feeding to stop rapidly, Chlorantraniliprole helps reduce additional crop damage even before the insect dies.

Major Target Pest Groups

• Stem Borers
• Shoot Borers
• Fruit Borers
• Pod Borers
• Leaf Folders
• Diamondback Moth
• Spodoptera / Armyworms
• Helicoverpa Caterpillars
• Semiloopers
• Other labelled Lepidopteran larvae

Crop & Pest Uses of Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC

Indian Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC registrations include a broad range of crops. Exact Corium use must always follow the current Nexchem label.

Important Dosage Information

Do not treat the 150 ml pack size as a per-acre dose. The correct quantity of Nexchem Corium depends on the crop, target pest, pest pressure, water volume and approved label recommendation.

Always refer to the original Corium bottle label and leaflet for the exact crop-wise dose, water quantity, spray interval and waiting period.

Method of Application

Corium is generally used as a foliar insecticide where permitted on its registered label.

1. Identify the target pest correctly before spraying.
2. Check that the crop and pest are approved on the current Corium label.
3. Measure only the recommended quantity of product.
4. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water.
5. Add the measured insecticide according to label directions.
6. Add the remaining required water and mix thoroughly.
7. Apply uniformly over the crop canopy using suitable spray equipment.
8. Ensure good coverage of areas where larvae are feeding.

Best Time for Application

Chlorantraniliprole performs particularly well when used against young, actively feeding larval stages. Regular crop scouting is therefore important for correct application timing.

• Monitor the crop frequently for pest activity.
• Apply at the crop and pest stage specified on the label.
• Avoid waiting until severe crop damage has already occurred.
• Use the correct spray-water volume for adequate coverage.
• Avoid spraying during strong winds.

Resistance Management

Chlorantraniliprole belongs to IRAC Group 28. Repeated use of insecticides with the same mode of action can increase selection pressure for resistant insect populations.

• Do not repeatedly rely only on Group 28 insecticides.
• Rotate with insecticides from different effective IRAC groups where approved.
• Use only recommended doses.
• Do not make unnecessary applications.
• Integrate biological and cultural pest-management practices.
• Monitor fields after application for surviving pest populations.

Integrated Pest Management

Corium can be incorporated into an Integrated Pest Management programme together with appropriate non-chemical practices.

• Regular pest scouting
• Removal of heavily infested crop parts where suitable
• Pheromone-trap monitoring
• Conservation of natural enemies
• Crop rotation where appropriate
• Use of tolerant or resistant crop varieties where available
• Rotation of insecticide modes of action

Safety Precautions

• For agricultural use only.
• Read the complete label and leaflet before use.
• Wear suitable protective clothing while mixing and spraying.
• Use chemical-resistant gloves and appropriate eye/face protection as specified on the label.
• Avoid inhaling spray mist.
• Avoid unnecessary skin and eye contact.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke during application.
• Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling.
• Keep children and animals away from the product.
• Do not contaminate food, feed or drinking-water sources.

Re-Entry Precaution

Do not enter a treated crop area until the spray has dried and the re-entry period specified on the current product label has been completed.

Environmental Precautions

• Use only according to the approved agricultural label.
• Avoid unnecessary spray drift.
• Do not contaminate ponds, canals or drinking-water sources.
• Avoid direct exposure of non-target areas.
• Follow all pollinator and beneficial-insect precautions on the label.
• Dispose of empty containers according to pesticide regulations.

Storage Instructions

• Store in the original labelled container.
• Keep tightly closed when not in use.
• Store in a cool and dry place.
• Protect from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• Keep away from food, feed and drinking water.
• Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nexchem Corium?

Nexchem Corium is an agricultural insecticide containing Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% w/w SC.

Which IRAC group does Corium belong to?

Corium belongs to IRAC Group 28, the ryanodine receptor modulator group.

What type of insecticide is Chlorantraniliprole?

Chlorantraniliprole is an anthranilic diamide insecticide particularly active against caterpillar and borer pests.

How does Corium kill insects?

It activates insect ryanodine receptors, causing abnormal calcium release from muscle cells. The affected insect stops feeding, becomes paralyzed and eventually dies.

Is Corium mainly used for caterpillars?

Yes. Chlorantraniliprole is particularly effective against many Lepidopteran larvae including various borers, leaf folders, armyworms and pod or fruit-feeding caterpillars where approved on the label.

Can Corium be used in paddy?

Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC is registered in India for rice against important pests such as stem borer and leaf folder. Use Corium in rice only if the current Corium label includes that application.

Can Corium be used in sugarcane?

Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC registrations include important sugarcane borer pests. Always follow the crop-specific Nexchem Corium label before use.

Can Corium be used in vegetables?

Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC labels include vegetables such as cabbage, chilli, tomato, brinjal, bitter gourd and okra. Product-specific label directions must be followed.

What is the dosage of Nexchem Corium per acre?

The dose varies by crop and target pest. 150 ml is the bottle pack size and should not automatically be considered the dose per acre. Use only the dose printed on the current Nexchem Corium label or leaflet.

What does SC mean?

SC means Suspension Concentrate, a liquid pesticide formulation designed to be diluted with water according to label directions before spraying.

Does Chlorantraniliprole stop insects from feeding quickly?

Yes. Susceptible insects generally stop feeding rapidly after exposure because Chlorantraniliprole disrupts normal muscular function.

Is Corium systemic or contact insecticide?

Chlorantraniliprole acts primarily through ingestion and also has contact activity. Its exact movement and use pattern should be understood according to the registered product label and application method.

What is the Corium pack size shown here?

The product shown is a 150 ml pack.

Who manufactures Nexchem Corium?

The bottle shown identifies Nexchem Industries Ltd. as the manufacturer and marketer.
