Novaluron is a benzoylurea insecticide that acts as an insect growth regulator (IGR) by inhibiting chitin synthesis, essential for insect exoskeleton development. It is effective against various insect pests, including those affecting apples, potatoes, brassicas, ornamentals, and cotton. Due to its specific mode of action, it has a low impact on non-target organisms and is widely used in integrated pest management (IPM) programs.

Novaluron is an insect growth regulator used to control a variety of insect pests in agriculture and horticulture.
Novaluron inhibits chitin synthesis in insects, disrupting their exoskeleton formation during molting, leading to death.
When used according to label instructions, Novaluron has low toxicity to humans, mammals, birds, and beneficial insects.
Novaluron is a synthetic chemical and is not approved for organic farming.
While Novaluron is effective against target pests, it is important to follow integrated pest management practices to minimize the risk of resistance and protect non-target organisms.
