HALOFENOZIDE

Description:

Halofenozide, identified by its CAS number 112226-61-6, is a chemical compound primarily used as an insect growth regulator. It belongs to the class of compounds known as benzoylureas, which function by disrupting the normal growth and development of insects, particularly during their molting process. This compound is characterized by its selective action, targeting specific pests while minimizing impact on beneficial insects and non-target organisms. Halofenozide is typically applied in agricultural settings to manage pest populations effectively, contributing to integrated pest management strategies. Its mode of action involves interfering with the synthesis of chitin, a critical component of the insect exoskeleton, thereby preventing successful molting and leading to the eventual death of the insect. Additionally, halofenozide is noted for its relatively low toxicity to mammals and birds, making it a preferred choice in sustainable agriculture practices. As with any chemical, proper handling and application according to safety guidelines are essential to mitigate any potential environmental impact.
