Features of Lufenuron
Lufenuron is insecticide with both stomach toxicity and contact killer effects. It is primarily used to control a variety of agricultural pests, including but not limited to lepidopteran larvae and piercing-sucking insects. Their characteristics include:
Good egg-killing effect and long-lasting effectiveness
When Lufenuron is sprayed on crop leaves or eggs, they can directly kill the eggs. More than 95% of the eggs laid within 48 hours after treatment do not hatch, with an effectiveness lasting up to about 10 days.
High insecticidal efficiency
Insects that come into contact with the insecticide or feed on treated leaves are anesthetized within 2 hours, stopping feeding and preventing further damage to crops. A peak in mortality occurs within 3-5 days, with an effectiveness lasting around 10 days.
Low toxicity and low residue
Lufenuron is of low toxicity to fish and mammals and selectively target most beneficial insects. They are safe for humans, animals, crops, and the environment, making them suitable for integrated pest management with no pollution.
Wide application range
It is suitable for various crops such as cotton, corn, vegetables, and fruit trees, particularly effective against noctuid pests such as beet armyworms and fall armyworms.
Good compatibility for mixing
Lufenuron can mix with various insecticides, showing significant synergistic effects while delaying pest resistance.
Usage methods include both standalone application and formulation mixtures. For instance, when controlling cotton bollworms and beet armyworms, a 1000-fold dilution of a 5% Lufenuron suspension is sprayed, achieving an egg mortality rate of 87.30% for 1-day-old eggs and demonstrating high stomach toxicity against 2nd to 5th instar larvae. To improve efficacy, they can be mixed with other insecticides such as emamectin benzoate, chlorfenapyr, and lambda-cyhalothrin.

Application
Lufenuron is mainly used to control pests such as the cabbage looper, beet armyworm, tomato fruitworm, striped armyworm, diamondback moth, citrus leaf miner, apple codling moth, leafroller, pod borer, melon webworm, cotton bollworm, tobacco budworm, cabbage worm, leaf miner, eggplant borer, potato tuber moth, thrips, red spider mites, rust mites, whiteflies, and planthoppers.
Control Methods:
To control the citrus leaf miner and rust mite, dilute 5% Lufenuron emulsion oil to 1500-2500 times and spray. Apply twice a season, with an interval of 28 days. For controlling apple leafrollers, dilute 5% Lufenuron emulsion oil to 1000-2000 times and spray during flowering and after flowering. Apply three times a season, with a 14-day interval.
For controlling small cabbage worms and beet armyworms, the dosage is 30-40 milliliters of 5% Lufenuron emulsion oil per acre, applied 1-2 times during the early larval stage, with a 14-day interval. For controlling pod borer, the dosage is 40-50 milliliters of 5% Lufenuron emulsion oil per acre. For controlling potato tuber moth, the dosage is 40-60 milliliters of 5% Lufenuron emulsion oil per acre, with three applications in a season, under a 14-day interval.
For controlling cotton bollworm, apply 50-60 milliliters per acre, with two applications during the crop season, at a 28-day interval.
Lufenuron is effective against various caterpillars, thrips, rust mites, and whiteflies and is suitable for controlling pests that have developed resistance to pyrethroids, organophosphate pesticides, and carbamate pesticides.
