IFFCO- MC IRUKA: A One Stop Crop-Friendly Dual Action Insecticide

Insects pose a serious problem hindering the plant’s growth. Insects devouring leaves and boring holes in stems, fruit, and/or roots cause direct damage to plant while indirect damage can be through bacteria, viruses, or fungi. To minimize or eliminate pest infestations, farmers use insecticides, which are chemicals that eliminate or reduce insect populations. IFFCO and Mitsubishi Corporation formed a joint venture to produce IRUKA, which has a dual site of action.

Insects pose a serious hazard to crops by eating its leaves, roots, and stems, making them unfit for human consumption. To effectively protect crops against these pests, some of which only feed on particular crops, pesticides must be used. Before the widespread adoption of pesticides, insects used to destroy a substantial amount of crops cultivated by the farmers, resulting in huge losses. Even while the environment had certain biological controls, such as predators or parasites that destroy insects that eat crops, there was little to no control over these elements. Insecticides' ability to protect crops has been very beneficial to agriculture, particularly in terms of raising output.

Insecticides that are allowed for use with organic crops are now necessary for farmers to safeguard their crops from pest damage as consumer demand for organic food has increased.

Therefore, farmers must give pest management priority. To minimize output loss, scientists and industry professionals advise utilizing pesticides in the early stages of the affected crop.

As a result, IFFCO and Mitsubishi Corporation formed a joint venture to produce IRUKA (Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC), which has a dual site of action. It acts as a stomach and contact insecticide. IRUKA causes a permanent blocking of postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which causes neurons to become hyperexcited. Convulsions and hyperexcitation are followed by the insects' eventual paralysis which eventually results in the death of the insects.

IRUKA is an insecticide from the neonicotinoid and pyrethroid group. Provided Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC displays favorable crop outlook, greater greening, and the beginning of flowers on more branches.

Benefits and USP of using IRUKA:

  • Broad-spectrum activity is ensured by an excellent combination of systemic and contact insecticides.

  • Treats a variety of crops for Lepidoptera and sucking pests

  • Helps in producing crops that are treated with increased greenness & branching.

  • Quickly absorbed by the leaves and roots and is translocated acropetally in the Xylem.

  • Offers an immediate knockout and sustained control.

  • By suppressing insects that serve as vectors for a viral illness, IRUKA shields the crop against infection.

  • Offers exceptional rain resistance.

  • Good crop vigor is the outcome of a good phytotoxic effect.
