Peptide technology crop protection products like SPEAR® RC harness naturally occurring peptides with insecticidal properties to fight row crop pests. How it works:
- Pests ingest plant treated with SPEAR® RC and a low dose of Btk (LEPROTEC®)
- Btk crystal proteins damage the gut and allow access to the nervous system
- SPEAR® RC binds neurotransmitters and opens ion channels
- The open channel disrupts the nerve cell
- Affected cells cannot send signals
- The result is paralysis and death
