Description

Methoxyfenozide CAS NO 161050-58-4 is a modern, highly selective insect growth regulator belonging to the diacylhydrazine class. It matters as a powerful and environmentally favorable tool for integrated pest management, specifically targeting lepidopteran pests by mimicking the action of the molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone. This mode of action makes it an essential component for agricultural professionals and formulators seeking effective, target-specific crop protection solutions with a favorable safety profile for beneficial insects.

Application

• Agricultural Crop Protection: Primary use for controlling a broad spectrum of lepidopteran pests (e.g., codling moth, armyworms, bollworms) in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and row crops.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Programs: A cornerstone product in IPM strategies due to its selectivity, preserving populations of beneficial predators and parasitoids.
• Professional Turf and Ornamental Management: Protection of high-value landscape plants, trees, and turf from caterpillar damage.
• Formulation of Insecticidal Products: Serves as the active technical ingredient for manufacturing various end-use formulations such as suspensions (SC), wettable powders (WP), and granules.
• Forestry Pest Management: Used in programs to manage defoliating caterpillars in forest ecosystems.
• Resistance Management: A valuable rotational partner with insecticides possessing different modes of action to delay the development of pest resistance.
