Description

Lufenuron CAS NO 103055-07-8 is a benzoylurea insect growth regulator (IGR) that acts as a potent chitin synthesis inhibitor. This mode of action makes it a highly effective and selective agent for controlling immature insect populations by disrupting their molting process. It is a critical active ingredient for professional pest management in agriculture, animal health, and public health sectors, valued for its specificity and favorable environmental profile.

Application

• Agricultural Insecticide: A key component in integrated pest management (IPM) programs for controlling lepidopteran pests (e.g., cotton bollworm, codling moth) and other insects in crops like cotton, soybeans, fruits, and vegetables.
• Animal Health (Veterinary Use): Widely used in flea control products for companion animals (dogs and cats), administered orally to break the flea life cycle by preventing egg and larval development.
• Public Health Pest Control: Employed in formulations targeting mosquito larvae and other public health nuisance insects, contributing to vector-borne disease management programs.
• Termite and Wood Borer Control: Used in bait systems and treatments for the protection of structures against termites and other wood-destroying insects.
• Professional Pest Management (PM): Formulated for use by licensed professionals against a range of pests in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
• Technical-Grade Active Ingredient (TGAI): Supplied as a high-purity intermediate for manufacturers formulating end-use insecticidal products (suspension concentrates, baits, etc.).
