Efficient Lepidopteran Pest Control

Flufenoxuron offers targeted and sustained protection against lepidopteran larvae by disturbing their chitin synthesis, preventing pests from maturing and multiplying. Its solid-state, high purity, and environmental longevity make it an ideal solution for agricultural fields requiring robust pest management.

Storage and Stability

To maintain its efficacy, Flufenoxuron should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location away from heat and direct sunlight. The product exhibits a stable crystalline form and retains its active properties for up to two years when stored under recommended conditions.

Application Versatility and Integrated Management

Flufenoxuron fits seamlessly into integrated pest management strategies thanks to its selective mode of action and low toxicity for mammals. This allows for flexible application alongside other crop protection methods to minimize pest resistance and environmental impact.

FAQs of Flufenoxuron:

Q: How is Flufenoxuron typically applied in agriculture?

A: Flufenoxuron is commonly applied as a spray directly onto crops infested with lepidopteran larvae. It is used as part of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies for more sustainable crop protection.

Q: What are the benefits of using Flufenoxuron for pest control?

A: Flufenoxuron provides long-lasting control of harmful larval pests by disrupting their molting process, ensuring effective population management while posing low risk to mammals. Its environmental persistence further supports prolonged field activity.

Q: When should Flufenoxuron be applied for optimal results?

A: It is best to apply Flufenoxuron at the early stages of pest infestation, especially when young larvae are present. Early intervention maximizes its effect on the pest population and supports comprehensive crop protection.

Q: Where should Flufenoxuron be stored to preserve its quality?

A: Store Flufenoxuron in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, keeping it away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Proper storage conditions ensure the products stability and extend its shelf life to up to two years.

Q: What solvents can be used to dissolve Flufenoxuron for application?

A: Flufenoxuron is insoluble in water but dissolves readily in organic solvents such as acetone, methanol, and dichloromethane, facilitating its preparation for field applications.

Q: Is Flufenoxuron safe for non-target species and the environment?

A: Flufenoxuron has low toxicity to mammals; however, it is environmentally persistent. Its selective mode of action helps reduce harm to beneficial insects when used as recommended within integrated pest management programs.
