Lufenuron 5% EC

“Broad Spectrum Novel IGR, Highly Effective for the Control of Army Worm”

Product Category: Insecticide

Active Ingredient: Lufenuron

Formulation: Available in EC Formulation (Emulsifiable Concentrate) with 5% w/v concentration.

Target Crops: Cotton, Tomato, Potato, Onion, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Apple, Citrus Fruit

Target Pests: American Bollworm, Army Bollworm, Diamondback Moth, Butterfly, Codling Moth, Leaf Miner

Mode of Action:

Contact & stomach action.

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 molting (shedding its old, smaller shell).

Key Properties / USPs:

Broad-spectrum activities and can be used on various crops, vegetables etc.

An economic solution, used at very low rates for the control of Lepidoptera.

Its mode of action, spectrum of control and selectivity profile make it suitable for use in IPM (integrated pest management).

Lufenuron controls insects that are resistant to frequently used insecticides like organophosphates, carbamates and synthetic pyrethroids and so is useful in IRM (integrated resistance management).

Environmentally friendly technology.
