Ampligo is a broad-spectrum insecticide from Syngenta, designed for effective control of lepidopteran pests (caterpillars) and other chewing and sucking insects.1 It combines two active ingredients: Chlorantraniliprole 10% (a diamide insecticide) and Lambda-cyhalothrin 5% (a pyrethroid insecticide), formulated as a Zeon Capsule (ZC) suspension concentrate.2
Key Features and Benefits:
Dual action: Offers both quick knockdown and long-lasting residual control.3
Chlorantraniliprole: A novel insecticide that works by activating ryanodine receptors, causing calcium depletion in insect muscles, leading to paralysis and death.4

Broad-spectrum activity: Effective against a wide range of lepidopteran pests, including bollworms, fruit borers, leaf folders, and armyworms, as well as some sucking pests like aphids and jassids.6
Ovicidal action: Effectively controls eggs, preventing future infestations.7
Long-lasting residual control: Provides extended protection against pests due to the Zeon Capsule formulation, which enhances the stability and longevity of the active ingredients.8
