Tropical TAG Exocent is a water-dispersible granule insecticide combining lufenuron, chlorantraniliprole and pyriproxyfen. Its multi-mode formulation is designed for the management of fruit borers, pod borers, leaf-eating caterpillars and diamondback moth in accordance with the current official product label.

Technical Details

Mode of Action

Tropical TAG Exocent combines three insecticide modes of action. Lufenuron belongs to IRAC Group 15 and interferes with chitin biosynthesis, affecting insect growth and moulting. Chlorantraniliprole belongs to Group 28 and acts on insect ryanodine receptors, disrupting muscle function. Pyriproxyfen belongs to Group 7C and acts as a juvenile hormone mimic that interferes with insect development.

This combination provides multi-stage activity against susceptible insect populations and combines growth-regulating action with a diamide mode of action. Use the product as part of a resistance-management programme and follow the current official label.
