Solubility: Practically insoluble in water. Soluble in acetone, diethyl ether, dimethyl sulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, and alcohols.

APPLICATIONS
Mode of action: Insecticide and acaricide with mainly stomach and some contact action. Exhibits good translaminar but limited systemic activity in plants.
Uses: Control of many species of insects and mites, including those resistant to carbamate, organophosphate and pyrethroid insecticides and also chitin-synthesis inhibitors, in cotton, vegetables, citrus, top fruit, vines and soya beans. Among pests resistant to conventional products which are controlled by chlorfenapyr are Brevipalpus phoenicis (leprosis mite), Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Colorado potato beetle), Helicoverpa spp., Heliothis spp., Plutella xylostella (diamond-back moth) and Tetranychus spp. Its use in resistance management programmes for control of various cotton pests is under evaluation.  

Phytotoxicity: No phytotoxicity observed at field use rates.
