Melting point 191°C; solubility in water (20°C), little solubility in other solvents, stable for 7 days at 94°C, stable under light at 25°C, PH=7 aqueous solution. The vapor pressure is 3×10-8mmHg (25°C). KOWlogP=4.25 (PH=7). Tebufenozide is an ecdysone insecticide, which can cause pests to molt and die by interfering with the normal development of insects. It has low toxicity and the acute oral LD50 of rats is greater than 5000mg/kg. It is safe and harmless to humans, mammals, fish and earthworms , very safe to the environment, is an ideal and safe insecticide in comprehensive control. Its pure product is white solid.

Features of tebufenozide

The insecticide tebufenozide has the same insecticidal characteristics and main uses as hydrazine, but its activity is higher than that of hydrazine. The insecticidal mechanism is to promote the molting of Lepidoptera larvae. When the larvae eat the medicine, they will produce a molting reaction when they should not be molting, and start molting. The inability to molt completely results in dehydration, starvation and death of the larvae. It is effective for both young and old larvae. When the larvae feed on the leaves of the crops sprayed with the pesticide, they stop eating in about 6-8 hours, no longer harm the crops, and begin to die after 3-4 days. Products include 20%, 24% suspending agent and so on.

Features of tebufenozide

The insecticide tebufenozide has broad-spectrum, high-efficiency, low toxicity and other characteristics, and has stimulating activity on insect ecdysone receptors. The mechanism of action is that larvae (especially Lepidopteran larvae) molt when they should not molt after feeding. Due to incomplete molting, the larvae are dehydrated and starved to death. At the same time, they can control the basic functions of insects during reproduction, and have a strong chemical sterilization effect.

The insecticide tebufenozide is a new non-steroidal insect growth regulator and the latest researched insect hormone insecticide. Tebufenozide has high insecticidal activity and strong selectivity. It is effective against all Lepidoptera larvae, and has special effects on resistant pests such as cotton bollworm, cabbage caterpillar, diamondback moth, and beet armyworm. Safer for non-target organisms. Tebufenozide is non-irritating to eyes and skin, has no teratogenic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic effects on higher animals, and is very safe to mammals, birds, and natural enemies.

1. It is a new type of non-steroidal insect growth regulator and a newly developed insect hormone insecticide. It has an agonizing effect on the pest molting hormone receptor, can accelerate the abnormal molting of the pest, and inhibit feeding, causing the pest to suffer from physiological disorders and starvation to death.

2. It is mainly effective through stomach poisoning, but also has certain contact and strong ovicidal activity.

3. After the pests feed, they can interfere with and destroy the original hormone balance in the insects, and cause food refusal. Generally, after 5 hours of feeding, the pests stop harming, and the molt reaction occurs in 1-2 days, and incomplete molts and food refusal occur in 2-3 days. , the whole body loses water, and eventually dies, reaching the peak of dead insects in about 3 days.

4. It has a good ability to kill eggs, and the pests will form chemical sterilization after eating, so the effective period is longer, generally about 15-30 days.

5. It is highly safe, has no phytotoxic reaction, and can cause chemical sterilization of some lepidopteran pests after use. At the same time, there will be a second dead insect period after 10 days, and it has no toxic side effects on bees and predatory mites, so it is highly Safety.

Comparison of indoxacarb, chlorfenapyr, lufenuron, and tebufenozide

Mechanism comparison and analysis of four types of insecticides

Chlorfenapyr: Stomach toxicity and contact killing effect, strong permeability on plant leaves, certain systemic effect, no ovicidal function;

Indoxacarb: Stomach toxicity and contact action, no systemic action, no ovicidal function;

Tebufenozide: Stomach toxicity and limited contact action, no osmosis and phloem systemic activity, high ovicidal activity;

Lufenuron: Stomach toxicity and contact action, no systemic action, strong ovum killing.

These four types of compounds are mainly gastric poisoning. If they are applied with penetrants/extenders (mostly silicone-based), the insecticidal effect will be greatly improved.

Comparative analysis of insecticidal spectrum of four kinds of insecticides

Chryprofen: It has good control effect on borers, piercing and chewing mouthparts and chewing pests, as well as some mites, especially against diamondback moth, beet armyworm, litura, leaf roller, pod borer, thistle Horses, some red spiders, etc. have excellent killing effect;

Indoxacarb: mainly used to control Lepidopteran pests such as beet armyworm, diamondback moth, corn borer, Spodoptera litura, cotton bollworm, tobacco budworm, leaf roller moth, and two-spotted armyworm;

Tebufenozide: It is mainly effective against most Lepidoptera pests, and has special effects on cotton bollworm, cabbage caterpillar, diamondback moth, beet armyworm, etc.;

Lufenuron: It is mainly used to control pests such as leaf roller, diamondback moth, cabbage caterpillar, beet armyworm, spodoptera litura, whitefly, thrips, rust tick and other pests, and has outstanding control effect on rice leaf roller.

Insecticidal broad-spectrum: Chlorfenapyr > Lufenuron > Indoxacarb > Tefenozide

Comparison and analysis of four types of insecticides in killing speed

Chlorfenapyr: 1 hour after normal spraying, the activity of the pests began to weaken, the color of the insects changed, the activities gradually stopped, and behavioral characteristics such as coma and paralysis appeared, which eventually led to death, and reached the peak of dead insects within 24 hours;

Indoxacarb: After spraying, the insects will stop feeding within 4 hours, the insects will be paralyzed and comatose, and their mobility will be significantly reduced (usually nymphs will fall from the crops), and generally die within 1 to 3 days after spraying;

Tebufenozide: After the pesticide is fed by the pest, it can interfere and destroy the original hormone balance in the insect body, and cause food refusal. Generally, the pest stops harming after 5 hours of feeding, and the peeling reaction occurs in 12 days, and it leads to incompleteness in 2 to 3 days. Peeling, refusal to eat, dehydration of the whole body, and eventually death, reaching the peak of dead insects in about 3 days;

Lufenuron: The nerves of the pests are paralyzed within 2 hours after they come into contact with the pesticide and eat the leaves with the pesticide, and gradually stop feeding, and reach the peak of dead insects in 3 to 5 days.

The rate of death: chlorfenapyr > indoxacarb > tefenozide > lufenuron.

Comparison and Analysis of Four Types of Insecticides' Persistence Period

Chlorfenapyr: does not kill eggs, has outstanding control effect on older insects, and the duration of effect is about 7 to 10 days;

Indoxacarb: does not kill eggs, but kills lepidopteran pests regardless of size, and the duration of effect is about 12 to 15 days;

Tebufenozide: good egg killing ability, chemical sterilization will be formed after the pests feed on it, and the duration of effect is long, about 15-30 days;

Lufenuron: It has a strong ovicidal effect, and the insect control time is relatively long, up to 25 days.

Persistence period: lufenuron > tebufenozide > indoxacarb > chlorfenapyr

Safety comparison and analysis of four types of pesticides

Lufenuron: Market feedback shows no harm;

Chlorfenapyr: According to current market feedback, it is only relatively sensitive to cruciferous vegetables and melon crops, and there will be certain safety risks when used at high temperatures or high doses;

Indoxacarb: Highly safe, no harmful reactions;

Tebufenozide: High safety factor, no phytotoxicity reaction, and can cause chemical sterilization of some lepidopteran pests after use, and there will be a second dead insect period after 10 days.

Safety: tebufenozide>indoxacarb>lufenuron>chlorfenapyr

However, chlorfenapyr is very safe for crops (soybean, corn, peanut) in the current northern summer crop area.

Of course, the combination of different schemes is to achieve different purposes. In my opinion, the scheme that can achieve the perfect combination of quick-acting effect (acting after 1 hour) + long-lasting effect (strong egg killing) should be chlorfenapyr + lice Fenuron can truly achieve the ultimate goal of saving labor, time and money for farmers.

Since most insecticides are frequently used or used in high doses, resistance will quickly develop. When we use medicines, we must still abide by the principle of "prevention first, comprehensive prevention and control", not only do a good job of chemical rotation, but also delay the emergence of resistance , it is even more important to choose medication when the age of the insects is relatively small, which can make the killing effect more prominent.
