Uses of diflubenzuron
·Diflubenzuron is an insect growth regulator, disrupting the formation of the cuticle of the insect through inhibition of chitin synthesis, so the application time is at the shedding of insects or hatching of eggs.
·Diflubenzuron is used against a wide variety of pests, including mosquitoes, grasshoppers, and migratory crickets. Because of its selectivity and rapid degradation in soil and water, diflubenzuron has little to no effect on the natural enemies of a variety of insect pests. The properties make it suitable for inclusion in integrated control programs. It can also be used widely as an animal health care medicament in Australia and New Zealand.
·Diflubenzuron has the ability to control a wide range of herbivorous insects in forestry, woody ornamental plants, and fruit. Controls certain major pests in cotton, soya beans, citrus, tea, vegetables, and mushrooms. It also controls larvae of flies, mosquitoes, grasshoppers, and migratory locusts.
·Diflubenzuron is also used as an ectoparasiticide in sheep to control lice, fleas, and firefly larvae. Because of its selectivity and rapid degradation in soil and water, it does not or only slightly affect the natural enemies of various insect pests. These properties make it appropriate for inclusion in built-in check programs.
Production Process
Starting from 2,6-dichlorophenitrile and prepared by fluorinated and nucleophilic addition reaction. It can also react 2,6-difluorobenzamide with 4-chlorophenyl isocyanate.
2,6-difluorobenzamide and 4-chlorophenyl isocyanate were placed in xylene for heating and reflux, the reaction was cooled, and the resulting crystals were washed and dried with xylene and obtained.
