Lufenuron is a high-efficiency insect development inhibitor belonging to the benzoylphenyl urea class, specifically engineered to disrupt the growth cycles of targeted pests. By inhibiting chitin synthesis, it prevents larvae from molting and prevents flea eggs from hatching, making it an indispensable solution for both agricultural crop protection and veterinary parasite control.
Designed for versatility, Lufenuron is highly effective against Lepidoptera and Coleoptera larvae in essential crops like cotton and maize, while also serving as a critical veterinary agent for flea control in pets. Its unique lipophilic properties allow for slow release into the bloodstream, ensuring sustained protection and long-term efficacy across multiple applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lufenuron acts as an insect development inhibitor that prevents the synthesis of chitin, which is essential for the formation of the insect exoskeleton, effectively stopping larvae from molting and eggs from hatching.
It is highly effective for controlling Lepidoptera and Coleoptera larvae on cotton, maize, and vegetables, as well as citrus whitefly and rust mites on citrus fruits.
Yes, Lufenuron is approved for use in dogs and cats that are 6 weeks of age or older specifically for the control of flea populations.
Its lipophilic nature allows the compound to be deposited in animal adipose tissues, where it is slowly released into the bloodstream, maintaining effective concentrations over a longer dosing interval.
We provide a wide range of formulations including Technical Grade (TC 96%-98%), SC (Suspension Concentrate), EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate), WDG (Water Dispersible Granules), and ME (Micro Emulsion).
To ensure chemical stability and potency, Lufenuron should be stored at temperatures between 0-6°C in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.
