Chlorantraniliprole (Ref: DPX E2Y45)	Last updated: 14/01/2023
(Also known as: rynaxypyr; IN-E2Y45)

SUMMARY

Chlorantraniprole is a broad spectrum insecticide. It has a low aqueous solubility and a low volatility. It tends to be highly persistent in the environment. It is highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates, moderately toxic to birds and aquatic plants, and has a low toxicity to vbees and earthworms. Chlorantraniliprole has a low oral mammalian toxicity.
