NOVALURON /PESTICIDE /116714-46-6 /C17H9ClF8N2O4
Agriculture Protects crops such as cotton, vegetables, and fruits from damaging pests.
*Public Health**: Controls mosquito larvae in water bodies, reducing the risk of vector-borne diseases.
*Urban Pest Management**: Effective in managing pests in residential and commercial settings.
Novaluron is a widely used benzoylurea insect growth regulator (IGR) that disrupts the development of insect larvae, making it a key tool in integrated pest management (IPM) programs. It is particularly effective against a range of agricultural and urban pests, including whiteflies, beetles, and lepidopteran larvae. Novaluron works by inhibiting chitin synthesis, which is essential for the formation of the insect exoskeleton, ultimately preventing larvae from maturing into adults.
