ABSTRACT
Karate® CS is a novel microencapsulated formulation of lambda-cyhalothrin. Karate® CS is a water-based formulation and as a result provides significant improvements over Karate® 1 EC in environmental and handler's toxicity. Other unique properties of the microcapsule provide an improvement in rainfastness and the addition of a UV protectant inside the microcapsule gives an improvement in foliar persistence. These improvements were achieved while maintaining the superior broadspectrum insect control synonymous with Karate®.
