Tebufenozide 虫酰肼
Introduction: Tebufenozide is an ecdysone insecticide, which causes the premature molting of insects by interfering with the normal development of insects. It has high insecticidal activity and high selectivity, being effective in treatment of all lepidopteran larvae, caterpillar, diamondback moth and beet armyworm. It has a strong ovicidal activity, being safe to non-target organisms. Tebfenozide has no irritating effect on the eyes and skin without any teratogenic, carcinogenic and mutagenic effects on higher animals, being of high safety to mammals, birds and natural enemies. It is an ideal insecticide during integrated control.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Animals In the rat, 16 whole-molecule metabolites are formed as a result of oxidation of the alkyl substituents of the aromatic rings, primarily at the benzylic positions. Plants In apples, grapes, rice and sugar beet, the major component is unchanged tebufenozide. Metabolites which are detected in small amounts result from oxidation of the alkyl substituents of the aromatic ring, primarily at the benzylic positions. Soil/Environment Metabolic DT50 in soil 7-66 d (7 soil types); for aerobic, aquatic soil 100 d (25℃, 3 soil types); for anaerobic, aquatic metabolism 179 d (25℃, silt loam). DT50 for field dissipation 4-53 d (12 sites). Koc 351-894. Field dissipation studies indicate no mobility below 30 cm.
Usage: Tebufenozide was developed in USA by Rohm & Haas Co. (now Dow AgroSciences). It is an insecticide used to control Lepidopterous larvae in a wide variety of cropping situations.
Application: Biochemistry Ecdysone agonist which acts by binding to the receptor site of the insect moulting hormone, ecdysone. Mode of action Lethally accelerates moulting process. Uses Control of lepidopteran larvae on rice, fruit, row crops, nut crops, vegetables, vines, and forestry, generally at 0.06-0.3 lb/a.
