CAS 64628-44-0: Triflumuron
Description:Triflumuron is a synthetic insect growth regulator belonging to the class of benzoylureas. It is primarily used in agricultural settings to control pest populations, particularly in crops, by disrupting the normal development of insects. Triflumuron functions by inhibiting chitin synthesis, which is essential for the formation of the exoskeleton in insects, thereby preventing them from maturing and reproducing. This compound is characterized by its relatively low toxicity to mammals and birds, making it a preferred choice in integrated pest management strategies. It is typically applied as a foliar spray or incorporated into soil treatments. Triflumuron is stable under a range of environmental conditions, but its effectiveness can be influenced by factors such as temperature and humidity. Additionally, it has a moderate persistence in the environment, which necessitates careful management to minimize potential impacts on non-target organisms. Overall, Triflumuron represents a valuable tool in sustainable agriculture, contributing to pest control while aiming to reduce the reliance on more harmful chemical pesticides.
