More Details

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.

Safety Precautions:

  • Always wear protective clothing, including gloves and a mask, when handling CAPTURE LFR.

  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

  • Keep out of reach of children and animals.
