Flufenoxuron is an insecticide that belongs to the benzoylurea chitin synthesis inhibitor group, which also includes diflubenzuron, triflumuron, and lufenuron.[1][2]
Application
[edit | edit source]
Flufenoxuron is used as an insecticide primarily on citrus plants, cotton, grape, tea and soybean.[3]
Due to the development of resistance in some cases, the effects of chlorfluazuron and flufenoxuron on selected developmental and reproductive parameters of the agrotis ipsilon were examined in a study. It was found that chlorfluazuron and flufenoxuron can accelerate vitellogenesis (yolk formation during oocyte development) in the ypsilon owl.[4]
Synthesis
[edit | edit source]The multi-step synthesis of flufenoxuron is described in the following reaction sequence:[3]
Trade name
[edit | edit source]A plant protection product containing the active ingredient flufenoxuron is marketed under the trade name Cascade[3].
Authorization
[edit | edit source]No plant protection products containing this active ingredient are authorized in Germany or in the EU.[2]
Properties
[edit | edit source]Flufenoxuron is a white crystalline powder. It has low solubility in water, is not flammable, and is not an oxidizer.[1]
Toxicology and safety
[edit | edit source]Flufenoxuron toxicity to humans and other mammals is low,[1] but it has a potentially high bioaccumulation in fish despite its low water solubility.[5]
