Buprofezin Insecticide: Effective Growth Regulator for Sustainable Pest Management

What is Buprofezin?

Buprofezin is a selective insecticide and growth regulator primarily used to control sap-sucking pests like whiteflies, planthoppers, and mealybugs in various crops. It is known for its long residual activity and low toxicity to beneficial insects, making it an essential tool for integrated pest management (IPM).

Key Features of Buprofezin

1. Target-Specific Action:

   • Disrupts the molting process of nymphal stages, effectively controlling pest populations.

   
   

2. Environmentally Friendly:

   • Minimal impact on beneficial insects, pollinators, and the surrounding ecosystem.

   
   

3. Long Residual Effect:

   • Provides extended protection, reducing application frequency.

   
   

4. Resistance Management:

   • Ideal for rotation programs to prevent resistance development.

   
   

5. Broad Crop Application:

   • Versatile use in fruits, vegetables, and rice.

   
   

Applications of Buprofezin

1. Rice:

   • Controls brown planthoppers and white-backed planthoppers.

   
   

2. Fruits:

   • Protects citrus, mangoes, and grapes from mealybugs and scales.

   
   

3. Vegetables:

   • Effective against whiteflies in tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers.

   
   

4. Ornamentals:

   • Safeguards ornamental plants from scales and whiteflies.

   
   

Benefits of Using Buprofezin

1. Selective Pest Control:

   • Targets harmful pests without affecting natural predators.

   
   

2. Improved Crop Health:

   • Reduces pest pressure, enhancing yield and quality.

   
   

3. Eco-Friendly:

   • Low toxicity to non-target organisms and aquatic environments.

   
   

4. Economic Efficiency:

   • Long-lasting action reduces the need for repeated applications.

   
   

5. Resistance Management:

   • Compatible with other modes of action for effective pest control strategies.

   
   

How Does Buprofezin Work?

Buprofezin acts as an insect growth regulator (IGR) by inhibiting the synthesis of chitin, a vital component of the insect exoskeleton. This disruption prevents nymphs from molting, leading to their eventual death. Its mode of action makes it particularly effective against immature pest stages while sparing adult beneficial insects.
