CAPTURE is a broad-spectrum insecticide with a unique formulation. It's most commonly known as CAPTURE LFR manufactured by FMC. This stands for "Liquid Flowable Ready," indicating its ready-to-use liquid form. It contains Bifenthrin as its active ingredient, a pyrethroid insecticide.
Here's a breakdown of CAPTURE LFR:
Key Features and Benefits:
Broad-spectrum control: CAPTURE LFR effectively controls a wide range of soil-dwelling and early-season pests in corn, soybeans, and certain vegetables. This includes:
Corn rootworm larvae
Cutworms
Grubs
Seedcorn maggots
Wireworms
White grubs
Common stalk borer
Liquid formulation: The LFR formulation offers several advantages:
Easy to use: No mixing or measuring is required, making it convenient for growers.
Improved handling: Reduces dust and potential exposure to the active ingredient.
Better compatibility: Easily mixes with liquid fertilizers for at-plant application.
At-plant application: CAPTURE LFR is applied at the time of planting, providing immediate protection to the developing seedlings.
Long residual control: It offers extended protection against target pests, minimizing the need for additional insecticide applications.
Improved root development: By controlling early-season pests, CAPTURE LFR promotes healthy root development, leading to stronger plants and higher yields.
Compatible with Bt corn: It can be used in conjunction with Bt corn traits for enhanced rootworm management and resistance management.
Mode of Action:
Bifenthrin is a pyrethroid insecticide that disrupts the nervous system of insects by interfering with sodium channels. This leads to paralysis and ultimately death of the pest.
Recommended Crops:
Corn
Soybeans
Certain vegetables (refer to the product label for specific crops)
Application:
CAPTURE LFR is typically applied in-furrow at the time of planting. It can be applied using standard insecticide application equipment. Always refer to the product label for specific application rates and instructions.
