Usage

Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 101463-69-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Flufenoxuron is an known insecticide and acts as an insect growth regulator by inhibiting chitin synthesis.
2. Flufenoxuron is used for the control of many phytophagous mites (Aculus, Brevipalpus, Pananychus, Phyllocoptuuta, Tetuanychus, spp) and insect pests on pome fruit, vines, citrus, tea, cotton, maize, vegetables and ornamentals. It is also used as a public hygiene insecticide.

Definition

ChEBI: Flufenoxuron is a benzoylurea insecticide, a member of monochlorobenzenes, a member of (trifluoromethyl)benzenes, a member of monofluorobenzenes and a difluorobenzene. It has a role as a mite growth regulator. It derives from a diphenyl ether.

Metabolic pathway

Information on the metabolism of flufenoxuron is avilable in a Pesticides Safety Directorate review of its use as a public hygiene insecticide (PSD).

Degradation

The DT50 of flufenoxuron (25 °C) was 267 days at pH 7,206 days at pH 5 and 36.7 days at pH 9 (PM). Flufenoxuron underwent photodegradation to form 2,6-difluorobenzamide (2), the urea derivative 3 and the 4-aminodiphenyl ether 4 in aqueous solution under natural sunlight in the UK (PSD, 1995).

Mode of action

Flufenoxuron acts in a similar manner to diflubenzuron, reducing chitin incorporation in the cuticJe (Clarke and Jewess 1990). It has cuticular and stomach action. It has ovo-Iarvicidal activity. Treated adults lay non-viable eggs (Tomlin 1995).

Method for exterminating termites

A method for exterminating termites comprising using an entomopathogenic nematode together with an inset-growth regulator or a slow-acting insecticide, wherein insecticidal effects are reinforced compared with the cases using singly the entomopathogenic nematode and the insect-growth regulator or the slow-acting insecticide, respectively, and a bait station for exterminating termites that contains an entomopathogenic nematode with an insect-growth regulator or a slow-acting insecticide. According to the invention, emission of harmful chemicals to environment can be suppressed. The invention is nonpoisonous for human being and livestock, and is useful for indoor or outdoor extermination of termites.
