Lufenuron

Short Description:

Mode of Action of Lufenuron:

  • Inhibits chitin synthesis (IRAC Group 15) – acts by blocking the formation and deposition of chitin in the insect exoskeleton 
  • Lufenuron works by interfering with chitin polymerization during molting, preventing the larvae from forming a new cuticle 
  • Ingested by larvae, resulting in death during ecdysis; exposed adults may show reduced fecundity and ovicidal effects through transovarial activity 

Key Properties / USPs:

  • Primarily active by ingestion on immature stages – slow-acting, death occurs by starvation as mandibular muscles lack anchoring points on the weakened head capsule 
  • Excellent alternative to organophosphates for fruit fly and bollworm control 
  • Relatively safe to beneficial insects, natural enemies, and mammals – low toxicity to non-target organisms 
  • Perfect fit for IPM & IRM programs – offers a distinct mode of action for resistance management with no cross-resistance to other insecticide groups 
  • High lipophilicity (log P ~5.12) provides long-lasting residual activity 
  • Broad-spectrum activities – Lepidoptera (bollworms, armyworms, leafminers), Thrips, Mites (rust mites), Coleoptera, Fleas, and Cockroaches

 Application:

1.Cabbage: Apply at peak or early larval stage of beet armyworm. Use 30-50 ml/mu. The safety interval is 10-14 days, and no more than 2 uses per growing season.

2.Green Bean: Apply at peak larval stage of pod borer. Use 40-50 ml/mu. The safety interval is 7 days, and no more than 3 uses per growing season.

3.Cotton: Apply at egg hatching peak to early larval stage of bollworm. Use 30-50 ml/mu. The safety interval is 28 days, and no more than 1 use per growing season.

4.Citrus Tree: Apply at egg hatching peak to early nymph stage of rust mite. Dilute 1500-2500 times. The safety interval is 28 days, and no more than 2 uses per growing season.

5.Brassica Vegetables: Apply at egg hatching peak to early larval stage of beet armyworm. Apply once every 7-10 days, twice consecutively. The safety interval is 14 days, and no more than 2 uses per growing season.

Cautions:

Each crop can be used no more than 2 times per growing season. The safety interval varies by crop: 7 days for green bean, 7-14 days for cabbage, 14 days for brassica vegetables, 28 days for citrus and cotton.

This insecticide is toxic to fish, silkworms, and birds. Keep away from sericulture areas, mulberry gardens, and aquaculture areas. Do not clean application equipment in ponds or rivers.

Low toxicity to bees and aquatic organisms, low risk to Trichogramma wasps, but moderately toxic to birds.

Rotate with insecticides having different modes of action to delay resistance development. Effective against pests already resistant to pyrethroids and organophosphates.
