Rynaxypyr active - Chlorantraniliprole Insect Control
In an ideal world, farmers would be able to till the soil, plant seeds and nurture the growth of healthy, abundant crops, year after year, without the need for pest control solutions. Every grower knows the reality of farming – from the moment seeds are planted, they are under attack. Our natural ecosystem is teeming with challenges impacting a growing plant’s ability to survive and thrive, with few effective options to combat them. These challenges include choking weeds, debilitating fungal diseases, and highly destructive insects that chew or bore into plants.
Rynaxypyr® active ingredient is a scientific breakthrough that has become an important tool for growers around the world to protect their crops from specific harmful insects. The essence of this breakthrough – what scientists call a “novel mode of action” – is Rynaxypyr® active ingredient’s highly selective targeting of these insects. Rynaxypyr® active ingredient works on a novel target in the insect, the ryanodine receptor. Leading brands powered by Rynaxypyr® active ingredient include Coragen®, Altacor®, Prevathon®, Premio®, and Ferterra.®
Extensive data, collected over years of responsible product usage, illustrate that early and extended insect control with Rynaxypyr® active ingredient directly leads to vigorous growth, improved yields, and excellent food quality for many high-value crops. In addition, the product’s low toxicity to mammals, fish, birds, and most arthropods and crustaceans provides a large margin of safety for people and the environment including many beneficial insect species. These attractive features of Rynaxypyr® active ingredient make it an excellent fit for any grower’s integrated pest management program, enabling them to efficiently and effectively practice sustainable crop protection methods and environmental responsibility.

A Focus on Testing and Analysis
Manufacturers must follow stringent product development protocols to find the most effective one to move forward for commercialization. The molecules with potential negative effects are screened out early in the research process. Crop protection products are some of the most tested and regulated products in the world. In fact, more tests are required for these products than for pharmaceuticals.
Testing is heavily focused on the product’s safety for people, wildlife and the environment. Tests evaluate a range of potential adverse effects, with an emphasis on potential exposures to the most vulnerable, sensitive people and ecosystems in our world with a high margin of safety built into each assessment.
Like so many other scientific and technological advances, crop protection has evolved dramatically since the early 1900s as a vital tool to help farmers in growing healthy crops. Today, much lower product dosages and targeted modes of action have significantly reduced potential impacts on non-target organisms.
New crop protection products are more environmentally friendly than their predecessors. Efforts are constantly made to improve the environmental profile of each new discovery.
Critical Areas of Protection that we investigate when developing a new product
TOXICOLOGY
Studies the adverse effects of the substance in mammals to assess potential effects in humans. While animal testing is required under many global regulations to ensure sound knowledge of the substance and its safety to humans, we follow a strict Animal Welfare Policy to minimize animal testing whenever possible and ensure the welfare of the animals according to strict global guidelines.
DIETARY SAFETY
Evaluate the exposure to the human population, including sensitive populations (e.g., infants, children) from potential residues of substances (including metabolites and impurities) in food and drinking water to ensure the levels, if any, are safe to consumers. Residue data can include food crops, processed commodities, rotational crops, animal feed, pollen, nectar and honey.
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Studies the fate and behavior, metabolism and distribution of substances in the environment and looks at its effect on soil/sediment, water, groundwater and air. We also evaluate the substance’s movement in the environment such as runoff, leaching and drift.
ECOTOXICOLOGY
Looks at the effects the substance may have (either directly or indirectly) on organisms in the environment. Organisms include: birds, fish, mammals, non-target plants, pollinators, non-target arthropods, earthworms, Collembola, soil microbes, Daphnia, shrimp, oysters, etc.
OCCUPATIONAL + BYSTANDER EXPOSURE
Evaluates the potential to workers and bystanders resulting from the manufacture and use of substances and determines the necessary protective equipment needed to ensure safety.
PRODUCT CHEMISTRY
Determines the physical-chemical properties of the substance (e.g., solubility, partitioning, volatility, etc.) that aid in understanding the nature of the substance as well as ensuring safe storage, transport, use, and disposal of the substance.
BIOLOGY AND USE DIRECTIONS
Determines how a product should be used in the field to ensure efficacy and crop safety. Includes assessment of the potential for resistance and proposed mitigations to reduce the potential.
