Activity

Insecticide.Novaluron is a chitin synthase inhibitor active against larvae of the orders Coleoptera, Homoptera, Diptera and Lepidoptera. Chitin is only actively synthesised by the immature stages of insects resulting in good selectivity to adults of beneficial species. Novaluron is strictly a contact insecticide; it has no systemic activity. It is mainly a stomach poison and has some ovicidal activity.

A further mode of action for novaluron was reported in 2002 (BCPC) - it was found to be an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase in B-biotype Bemisia tabaci, similar to buprofezin, another chitin synthesis inhibitor. This could indicate that there is cross-resistance between novaluron and buprofezin. No cross-resistance has been noted between novaluron and other benzoyl urea IGR’s used against Bemisia tabaci, Spodoptera spp and Leptinotarsa.

In field trials on cotton and vegetables, novaluron has shown residual activity lasting at least 15 days.

Novaluron is reported to damage the leaves of poinsettias (chlorotic streaking or blotching); Crompton does not recommend its use on this ornamental species.

In Ontario (Canada), novaluron is under evaluation by Crompton and the University of Guelph for control of Colorado beetle on potato; this pest is rapidly developing resistance to the currently used insecticides. Initial results (2002) were promising with novaluron maintaining the populations of 3^rd and 4^th instar larvae at the level of the industry reference (imidacloprid).

In field and laboratory trials, the product was found to be safe to major beneficial insects and can be used as a part of the IPM programme. In order to preserve its effectiveness, use of the product should be restricted to two applications per season in alternation with other products.
