Used primarily as an insect growth regulator in agriculture, this chemical effectively controls a wide range of insect pests, especially lepidopteran larvae such as caterpillars, by inhibiting chitin synthesis. It disrupts the formation of the exoskeleton during molting, leading to the death of the insect during development. Commonly applied in crop protection for cotton, vegetables, fruits, and tea plantations, it offers long residual activity and targets pests in their early developmental stages. Due to its selective mode of action, it has minimal impact on beneficial insects like pollinators and natural predators, making it suitable for integrated pest management programs. The solution formulation allows for easy mixing and efficient foliar application through standard spraying equipment.
