Applications

Methoxyfenozide, a diacylhydrazine insecticide, selectively binds to lepidopteran ecdysone receptors (EcRs) over dipteran EcRs with Kd values of 0.5 and 124 nM, respectively. Methoxyfenozide is lethal to neonatal larvae of S. exigua, S. frugiperda, T. ni, O. nubilalis, L. pomonella, H. zea, and H. virescens (LC50s=0.35, 0.2, 0.11, 0.18, 0.21, 0.79, and 3.12 mg/L, respectively).
 

Lufenuron is a lipophilic benzoylurea insecticide and a chitin synthesis inhibitor that can used for flea and fish lice control. Lufenuron inhibits moulting of arthropods.
 

The combination of Methoxyfenozide (an insect growth regulator) and Lufenuron (a chitin synthesis inhibitor) provides enhanced control of lepidopteran pests through dual growth disruption mechanisms. This mixture is particularly effective in cotton, vegetables, and row crops where caterpillar resistance is a concern.

 

1. Target Pests

Primary Targets (Lepidoptera)

• Helicoverpa armigera (Cotton bollworm)

• Spodoptera spp. (Armyworms, Fall armyworm)

• Plutella xylostella (Diamondback moth)

• Pectinophora gossypiella (Pink bollworm)

• Chilo suppressalis (Rice stem borer)

Secondary Targets

• Some beetles and coleopteran larvae (via Lufenuron's chitin inhibition)

 

2. Mode of Action

Active Ingredient	Target System	Effect on Insects
Methoxyfenozide	Ecdysone receptor agonist	Premature molting → lethal deformity
Lufenuron	Chitin synthesis inhibitor	Blocks exoskeleton formation → death during molting

Synergistic Effect:

• Attacks two different growth pathways (cuticle formation + molting hormone mimicry)

• Overcomes resistance in pests resistant to single-mode insecticides

 

3. Application Crops

• Cotton (bollworm complex, pink bollworm)

• Soybeans & Corn (armyworms, earworms)

• Vegetables (tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower against fruit borers/DBM)

• Fruits (mango, citrus for stem borers)

• Stored Grains (limited use against moth larvae)

 

4. Advantages of the Mixture

   Resistance-breaking - Dual modes reduce pest adaptation risk
   Ovicidal/Larvicidal - Lufenuron affects eggs; Methoxyfenozide kills larvae
   Long residual activity - Lufenuron persists on leaf surfaces
   IPM-compatible - Lower mammalian toxicity than neurotoxins

 

5. Recommended Usage

Formulation Example:

• 10% Methoxyfenozide + 5% Lufenuron SC

Application Rate:

• Foliar Spray: 0.4-0.6 mL/L water (200-300 L/ha)

• Timing: Early egg hatch or young larval stages

• Reapplication: 10-14 day intervals if pressure persists

Critical Notes:

• Rainfastness: Lufenuron binds well to foliage; re-spray if rain occurs <6hr after application

• Tank-Mix Compatibility: Avoid alkaline mixtures (pH >8 degrades Lufenuron)

 

6. Limitations & Risks

 Non-target Effects:

• Toxic to aquatic arthropods (use buffer zones near water)

• Moderate bee risk (apply during non-foraging hours)

 Resistance Management:

• Rotate with diamides (chlorantraniliprole) or spinosyns (spinetoram)

 

7. Comparison to Alternatives

Mixture	Pros	Cons
Methoxyfenozide + Bt	Organic-compatible, safer for bees	UV-sensitive, shorter residual
Methoxyfenozide + Emamectin	Broad-spectrum, fast knockdown	High toxicity to aquatic life
Methoxyfenozide + Lufenuron	Long residual, resistance management	Slower kill than neurotoxins

 

8. Conclusion

This mixture excels in crops with persistent lepidopteran pressure where resistance to single-mode insecticides (e.g., pyrethroids) is suspected. Its growth disruption focus makes it a strategic choice in IPM programs, though it requires proper timing (early infestations) for maximum efficacy.

For best results:

• Use with sticker/spreader adjuvants to enhance Lufenuron's rainfastness

• Combine with monitoring (pheromone traps) to time applications accurately
