Tebufenozide is a commonly used insecticide in agriculture. It has a wide spectrum of insecticidal activity and a relatively fast knockdown speed, and is highly praised by users. What exactly is Tebufenozide? What are the characteristics of Tebufenozide’s action? What kind of insects can Tebufenozide treat? What are the precautions for its use? Let’s take a look together!
The characteristics of the action of Tebufenozide
Tebufenozide has the characteristics of broad-spectrum, high efficacy and low toxicity. It has a stimulating effect on the receptor of insect molting hormone. The mechanism of action is that the larvae (especially lepidopteran larvae) molt when they should not molt after feeding. Due to incomplete molting, the larvae become dehydrated and starve to death. At the same time, it can control the basic functions of the insect reproductive process and has a strong chemical sterilization effect.
What kind of insects can Tebufenozide treat
Insecticide Tebufenozide is mainly used to control pests such as aphidae, leafhophydaceae, Lepidoptera, Spodoptera, Acaricidae, Lentiptera, root-warthodes, and lepidoptera larvae like pear bovil, grape roller moth, and beet armyworm on citrus, cotton, ornamental crops, potatoes, soybeans, tobacco, fruit trees and vegetables. This product is mainly used for a lasting effect of 2 to 3 weeks. It has a very good control effect on lepidoptera pests. The dosage per mu is 0.7 to 6 grams (active ingredient). It is used for fruit trees, vegetables, berries, nuts, rice and forest protection.
Due to its unique mechanism of action and no cross-resistance with other insecticides, this agent has been widely used in rice, cotton, fruit trees, vegetables and other crops as well as forest protection to control various lepidoptera, Coleoptera, diptera and other pests. At the same time, it is highly beneficial to beneficial insects, mammals, the environment and crops, and is one of the ideal integrated pest control agents.
Tebufenozide can be used to control pear borer, apple leaf roller moth, grape leaf roller moth, pine caterpillar, American white moth, etc.

② To control resistant pests of vegetables, cotton, tobacco, grains and other crops such as cotton bollworm, diamondback moth, cabbage worm, beet armyworm and other lepidoptera pests, spray with 20% suspension at a ratio of 1000 to 2500 times.
Precautions for the use of Tebufenozide
