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
