BACF Corset Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide belonging to the anthranilic diamide chemical class and IRAC Group 28. It is designed to control various agricultural insect pests, particularly caterpillars, borers, and other susceptible insects. Its systemic and translaminar properties help distribute the active ingredient within plant tissues, providing protection beyond directly sprayed surfaces. Corset acts on insect muscle function, causing feeding cessation, paralysis, and eventual death. It is used on crops such as rice, cotton, sugarcane, tomato, chilli, cabbage, pigeon pea, and soybean, according to the source document's recommendations.
