Does chlorantriniliprole have any effect on weevils (Elaeidobius Kamerunicus)?

09 September 2015 1 2K Report

Chlorantriniliprole is a diamide chemical that stimulates receptors in insect muscles to excessively release calcium leading to paralysis of the insect. It is good for dealing with Lepidopteran pests but does it have any effect on Coleoptera group, example pollinating weevils (Elaeidobius Kamerunicus)? Is there any publication on this?

Please advise, thank you.

No doubt It is a good chemical for lepidopteran pests particularly those with cryptic habit. As far as coleopteran pests are concerned it is not effective to that extent. Read the publication: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22927256#
