As stable weather becomes an advantage for agricultural development, pest reproduction also increases, especially difficult leafminers, which often give farmers a headache. They hide inside the leaves and feed on the leaf tissue, not only affecting crop appearance, but also weakening photosynthesis and yield. Cyantraniliprole 10.26% w/w provides an effective control ability and is friendly to natural enemies, offering a reliable solution for integrated pest management.

Malaysia has summer-like weather all year round, with a stable climate that is suitable for agriculture. Farmers do not need to worry much about seasonal changes affecting their crops. However, favourable weather conditions also create an ideal environment for insect reproduction and development, which has become one of the major concerns for farmers. Today, let us talk about leafminers.

Habits and Damage of Leafminers

Leafminers, also known as leaf mining flies, belong to the family Agromyzidae, with the scientific name Liriomyza sp. They originate from tropical regions. Their larvae are commonly found in various agricultural and horticultural crops. They are milky white, legless, and feed by tunnelling inside the leaves.

When white, winding lines that look like “new road lines” appear on the leaf surface, it means that leafminer larvae have already invaded. Since they feed on the leaf tissue, serious infestation can cause leaves to dry and drop, weaken photosynthesis, and eventually affect crop yield.

To solve this difficult pest problem, ADVANSIA has launched Cyantraniliprole 10.26% w/w, commonly known as “Powder Red Cap”, to provide a practical solution. Its active ingredient is Cyantraniliprole 10 OD, a Group 28 insecticide. With its unique oil dispersion suspension formulation, it enhances penetration and internal absorption within the leaves.

Eliminates Pests Without Harming Beneficial Insects

Cyantraniliprole 10.26% w/w is a stomach and contact insecticide. It can quickly suppress the feeding behaviour of pests by disrupting normal calcium flow stored inside the insect body, causing muscle paralysis and eventually death.

Cyantraniliprole 10.26% w/w has excellent control effects against various piercing-sucking and chewing pests. Leafminers are one of its main control targets. It can also effectively suppress thrips, whiteflies, aphids, and diamondback moths. Although it targets multiple pests, it has high selectivity towards target insects and does not affect natural enemies, making it highly suitable for integrated pest management programmes.

Advansia recommends applying Cyantraniliprole 10.26% w/w by mixing 20ml of product with 20 litres of water and spraying evenly on the leaf surface for the best control effect.
