Diflubenzuron is a benzoylurea-type insecticide of the benzamide class. It is used in forest management and on field crops[2] to selectively control insect pests, particularly forest tent caterpillar moths, boll weevils, gypsy moths, and other types of moths.[1] The mechanism of action of diflubenzuron involves inhibiting the production of chitin which is used by an insect to build its exoskeleton.[1]
Environmental toxicity
One of the metabolites of diflubenzuron, 4-chloroaniline, has been classified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a probable human carcinogen.[3]
