Novaluron

Type: Insecticide / Insect Growth Regulator

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the synthesis of chitin

Common Product Names: D-Fense

What is it?

Novaluron is a benzoylphenyl urea derivative and is used primarily in agriculture to control a wide range of insect pests. It is a white crystalline solid that is practically insoluble in water. Due to its specific action on insect growth and development, Novaluron is considered an environmentally friendly option with a reduced risk of harming non-target organisms, including beneficial insects.

How does it work?

Novaluron acts by interfering with the insect's ability to produce chitin, which is crucial for forming their exoskeleton. When insects ingest or come into contact with Novaluron, it disrupts their molting process, leading to unsuccessful molts and eventual death. This mode of action ensures that Novaluron targets juvenile stages, thereby preventing the maturation and reproduction of pests.

Benefits

  • Residual Effect: Novaluron provides long-term control due to its residual activity, reducing the need for frequent applications.
  • Target-Specific: It specifically targets the molting process in insects, minimizing harm to non-target species, including beneficial insects.
