This registration also approves the expansion of the Coragen® label to include root and tuber vegetables, as well as forage, fodder, and hay. The expansion of the application scope aligns with the changing crop protection needs of growers.
The active ingredient in Coragen® is DuPont Rynaxypyr® (chlorantraniliprole, Group 28), which features a novel mode of action. The product provides broad-spectrum control of various major pests from the hatching stage to the adult stage, while remaining harmless to applicators, bees, and other beneficial insects. This label expansion includes both ground and aerial application.
Ray Janssen, Product Manager for DuPont Coragen®, stated, “We are pleased to bring Coragen® to Canadian growers to help them protect a total of 36 million hectares of cereal crops. When climate and temperature conditions are favorable, the product can provide up to 14 days of control, offering growers long-lasting and flexible protection. Growers can use it as the first spray of the growing season, leveraging its long-lasting properties to control lepidopteran pests and grasshoppers. We are confident that with its flexibility, low application rate, long-lasting protective effect, and lack of cross-resistance with other chemical components, Coragen® will be a reliable choice for growers to ensure cereal crop yields.”
