ALTACOR® by Du Pont is a specific insecticide to combat a wide range of lepidoptera that infest horticultural crops. It belongs to the anthranilamide family of chemicals and is characterized by a nonneurotoxic mechanism of action. The product mobilizes the calcium reserves in the muscular system of larvae, thereby compromising the ability to function. ALTACOR® acts primarily by ingestion, causing the paralysis and subsequent death of the insect.
