Description Runner 240 SC is a suspension concentrate selective contact and stomach insecticide (moult accelerating compound) for the control of Diamond-Back Moth, Cabbage sawfly, and Spodoptera spp. on cabbages and roses. Being an antagonist of the insect molting hormone 20 hydroxyecdysone, it is absorbed into the insect’s circulatory system and binds with the ecdysone receptor. Feeding stops within hours of exposure and disruption of the normal molt cycle prevents the larva from shedding its old cuticle resulting in starvation, dehydration, and death within a few days. Larva exposed to a sublethal dose often die during the pupal stage or emerge as sterile adults. Its high specificity to lepidopterous insects makes it safe for beneficial insects of the orders Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Heteroptera, Neuroptera, and mites. Application Application timing of Runner 240 SC is active through ingestion; therefore applications should be made when the target pests are actively feeding.
