Diafenthiuron CAS 80060-09-9

What is Diafenthiuron CAS 80060-09-9?

Diafenthiuron CAS 80060-09-9 is a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide that functions as a pro-insecticide. It is activated by light or enzymatic processes into a carbodiimide form that inhibits mitochondrial ATP synthesis in pests, ultimately leading to energy depletion and death. It is widely used in modern agriculture due to its effectiveness against resistant pest populations and compatibility with integrated pest management (IPM) systems.

Specification

Feature

• Broad-Spectrum Insecticidal and Acaricidal Activity: Diafenthiuron effectively controls mites, whiteflies, aphids, and other sucking pests across multiple crops.
• Pro-Insecticide Mechanism: It requires activation into a carbodiimide form that inhibits mitochondrial ATP synthesis, offering a unique mode of action compared to conventional insecticides.
• Effective Against Resistant Pests: Demonstrates strong performance against pest populations resistant to pyrethroids, carbamates, and other common insecticides.
• Low Impact on Beneficial Insects: Exhibits relatively low toxicity to beneficial insects and predatory mites, making it suitable for integrated pest management programs.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: Widely used in crops such as cotton, vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals to control whiteflies, aphids, mites, and leafhoppers.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Applied in IPM systems due to its selective toxicity and compatibility with beneficial insects.
• Resistance Management Programs: Utilized to manage pest resistance due to its unique mechanism of action and effectiveness against resistant strains.
• Agrochemical and Biochemical Research: Used in studies related to insect energy metabolism, mitochondrial inhibition, and pesticide mode of action.
