A broad-spectrum novel Insect Growth Regulator (IGR), highly effective for the control of leaf-feeding lepidopterous and coleopterous larvae on a wide range of crops. It has contact and stomach action. Larvae are unable to moult and cease feeding. It also acts transovarially, reducing fecundity and egg hatching. Lufenuron inhibits the production of chitin in insects. Without chitin, Lepidopterans larvae will never develop a hard outer shell (exoskeleton). With its inner organs exposed to air, the insect dies from dehydration soon after hatching or moulting
Contains: Lufenuron 100 g/l
Target: Lepidoptera species, Leaf miner, Fruit flies, Rust mites, Coleoptera larvae
Rate: 0.3 l/ha
BENEFITS:
- Broad-spectrum activities and can be used on various crops, vegetables
- An economic solution, used at very low rates for the control of
- Its mode of action, spectrum of control, and selectivity profile make it suitable for use in IPM (integrated pest management).
- It controls insects that are resistant to frequently used insecticides like organophosphates, carbamates, and synthetic pyrethroids, making it useful in IRM (integrated resistance management).
