Pyriproxyfen 10% EC is a juvenile hormone analog insect growth regulator effective against whiteflies, scales, and sanitary pests. Learn about application rates, mode of action, safety guidelines, and environmental precautions.
A 500-ml formulation of a juvenile hormone analog insecticide designed to regulate insect growth. It contains a mixture of two isomers that disrupt normal development, preventing larvae from successfully transitioning to pupae and ultimately stopping the emergence of adult insects.
Mode of Action
Pyriproxyfen is a juvenile hormone analog that interferes with insect growth and development. By disrupting larval–pupal molting, it prevents larvae from becoming pupae and mature adults. This leads to gradual population decline of target pests.
Uses
In various countries, pyriproxyfen is used in public health programs for controlling flies, mosquitoes, and other sanitary pests in livestock areas, wetlands, and urban environments. In agriculture, it is effective against whiteflies and thrips on many crops, as well as fungus gnat control in mushroom farms.
Its use should be avoided near mulberry trees and regions involved in silkworm rearing, as it may negatively affect silkworm growth.
