Diflubenzuron is an insect growth regulator used in the agrochemical and fertilizer market. It is a member of the benzoylurea family of compounds and is used to control a wide range of insect pests in crops, including caterpillars, aphids, and mites. It works by disrupting the insect's molting process, preventing it from reaching adulthood and reproducing. It is also used to control the spread of disease-carrying insects, such as mosquitoes. Diflubenzuron is applied as a foliar spray or soil drench, and is available in both liquid and granular formulations. The market for diflubenzuron is growing due to its effectiveness in controlling insect pests and its low toxicity to humans and other mammals. It is also increasingly being used in integrated pest management programs, which combine chemical and biological control methods to reduce the use of chemical pesticides. Some companies in the diflubenzuron market include BASF, Syngenta, Bayer, FMC Corporation, and Nufarm. Show Less Read more
