About Item
VIRTAKO is a broad-spectrum insecticide from Syngenta containing Chlorantraniliprole 0.6% GR + Thiamethoxam 0.3% GR.
Delivery
Overview
VIRTAKO is a granular insecticide developed by Syngenta for controlling important insect pests in crops. Its combination of Chlorantraniliprole and Thiamethoxam provides complementary activity against target pests.
Chlorantraniliprole acts on ryanodine receptors, disrupting calcium regulation in insect muscles, while Thiamethoxam acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system. The combination provides effective pest suppression through two different modes of action.

About the Product
VIRTAKO combines two modern insecticide chemistries to provide reliable control of economically important insect pests.
Chlorantraniliprole
Acts on the ryanodine receptor of susceptible insects, causing uncontrolled calcium release in muscle cells. This results in rapid feeding cessation, paralysis, and eventual insect death.
Thiamethoxam
Acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, disrupting normal nerve transmission in insects and providing systemic insecticidal activity.
The combination helps provide broad and effective pest management while reducing dependence on a single mode of action.
Key Features
Dual Active Ingredients
Combines Chlorantraniliprole and Thiamethoxam for complementary insect-control activity.
Effective Against Stem Borers
Provides protection against damaging stem borer infestations in rice.
Controls Leaf Folder
Helps manage leaf folder populations and reduce damage to crop foliage.
Contact & Ingestion Action
Target insects are affected through contact with the treated area and ingestion of treated plant material.
Granular Formulation
The GR formulation allows convenient field application, particularly in paddy.
Long-Lasting Protection
Provides residual protection when applied at the recommended crop and pest stage.
Recommended Crop
Paddy / Rice
VIRTAKO is primarily used for insect pest management in paddy, particularly against:
- Stem borer
- Leaf folder
- Other approved target insect pests
Always follow the current product label for the registered crop, pest, dose, and application timing.
Target Pests
Stem Borer
Stem borers can damage rice tillers and cause symptoms such as dead hearts during vegetative growth and white ears during reproductive stages.
Leaf Folder
Leaf folders fold and damage rice leaves, reducing photosynthetic area and potentially affecting crop development and yield.
Application Guidelines
Granular Application
Apply VIRTAKO uniformly in the crop field according to the manufacturer's recommended application method.
For paddy, ensure adequate field conditions and follow the current label instructions for water level and application timing.
Best Application Stage
Apply when target pests are first observed or when pest populations reach the recommended economic threshold.
Dosage
The exact dose should be taken from the current VIRTAKO product label for the crop and pest being treated.
Foliar Spray
Not the primary application method for the granular formulation. Use the product according to its registered granular-application instructions.
Fertigation
Not recommended unless specifically permitted on the product label.
