Features of Fenoxycarb
1. Unique insecticidal mechanism: Fenoxycarb has multiple regulatory functions on the endocrine hormones of insects: A. It makes insects unable to molt and undergo metamorphosis, leading to gradual death; B. It inhibits the metamorphosis during the larval stage, resulting in the death of late-stage larvae or pupae; C. It has a strong ovicidal effect, thereby reducing the insect population density; D. It significantly inhibits embryonic development and reproduction of insects, contributing to its ovicidal action.
2. Broad insecticidal spectrum: Due to its unique insecticidal mechanism, which combines both stomach poison and contact kill effects, along with a strong destructive effect on insect endocrine hormones, its insecticidal spectrum is quite broad. Foreign practices have proven that fenoxycarb is effective against more than fifty types of pests as well as some mites and nematodes.
3. Highly effective against pests, low toxicity to mammals: Similar to other insect growth regulators, fenoxycarb features high efficiency and low toxicity, especially showing very low toxicity to mammals.
4. Long-lasting effects with no environmental pollution: When used to control diamondback moths, it retains over 90% efficacy even after 15 days. In the case of controlling storage pests, its effectiveness can last up to 18 months against various grain pests such as the wheat borer.
5. Fenoxycarb can effectively control hygiene pests and grain pests, and it is particularly effective against multiple resistant pests. When mixed with millet and brown rice, it can prevent the hatching of eggs from various Coleoptera and Lepidoptera pests, while also having lethal effects on adults. Moreover, it has a long-lasting effect with very low residues, ensuring no environmental pollution.

Application
Agricultural Applications: Fenoxycarb can effectively control various important grain pests, such as the wheat moth, grain weevil, rice weevil, red flour beetle, and sawtooth grain beetle. In grain storage, applying a dosage of 5-10 mg/kg mixed into brown rice can prevent a variety of pests, with a residual effect lasting up to 18 months. It is also effective against warehouse pests that have developed resistance to malathion while not affecting the germination of rice seeds.
Forestry Applications: Fenoxycarb is used in cotton fields, orchards, vegetable gardens, and ornamental plants to combat pests such as leafhoppers, scales, and leaf-rolling moths. In forestry, Fenoxycarb is used to control pests such as pine caterpillars, the invasive fall webworm, inchworms, clearwing moths, and apple codling moths, also effectively targeting pests that have developed resistance to commonly used agricultural chemicals.
Storage and Sanitation Pest Control: Fenoxycarb can be used to manage sanitary pests, storage pests, and agricultural field pests. The typical application concentration is generally between 0.0125% and 0.025%, and sometimes as low as 0.006%. For example, 5 mg/kg can effectively control granary weevils, while 10 mg/kg can effectively control rice weevils, lesser grain borers, and Indian meal moths. Furthermore, using Fenoxycarb at concentrations of 10-100 g/L against German cockroaches resulted in a mortality rate of 76%, with a residual effect lasting 1-9 weeks. To control fire ants, applying 6.2-22.6 mg per colony can reduce the insect population by 67% within 12-13 weeks.
Insecticidal Mechanism: Fenoxycarb disrupts normal molting and metamorphosis in insects, leading to their inability to develop and reproduce properly, thus reducing pest populations. It significantly affects various aspects of insect biology, including embryonic development, reproduction, the production of sex pheromones, migratory behavior, and the social hierarchy of gregarious insects, leading to abnormal changes.
