Cyantraniliprole is widely used in agriculture as an effective insecticide to control a broad spectrum of pests. It is particularly effective against sucking insects such as aphids, whiteflies, and thrips, as well as chewing pests like caterpillars and beetles. The chemical works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death. It is commonly applied to crops such as fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants to protect them from damage and improve yield. Its systemic nature allows it to be absorbed by plants, providing long-lasting protection. Additionally, it is often used in integrated pest management programs due to its selectivity and lower impact on beneficial insects compared to some other insecticides.
