It controls moth and butterfly caterpillars or larvae, as well as some beetles and "true" bugs like aphids and spittlebugs. Products with chlorantraniliprole may be labeled for use on a variety of fruits, vegetables, potatoes, and rice. They are also used on cotton, turf grass, ornamental plants, public landscaped areas, and as seed treatments.
