Product Introduction

Lufenuron is a highly effective benzoylurea insect growth regulator (IGR) widely used for the control of lepidopteran pests and other chewing insects.It works by inhibiting chitin synthesis, preventing larvae from forming a normal exoskeleton and stopping the molting process.

Thanks to its long residual activity, low toxicity to mammals, and strong selectivity, Lufenuron has become a preferred solution in modern integrated pest management (IPM) programs worldwide.This product is especially popular among professional growers looking for a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and resistance-management tool.

Mode of Action

Lufenuron belongs to the class of insect growth regulators.

After ingestion by target pests:

• It blocks chitin formation in the insect cuticle

• Larvae cannot molt properly and die during development

• Eggs laid by treated adults show reduced hatchability

• Population growth is effectively suppressed over time

Unlike contact insecticides, Lufenuron acts mainly through stomach action, providing excellent control of immature stages.
