ActivityInsecticide/acaricide/Miticide
Lufenuron is only active against immature larval and nymphal stages of arthropods. The product is primarily active following ingestion. It has no knockdown activity. After ingestion, feeding ceases and death follows within a few days. It is a potent ovicide on Cydia and Lobesia spp and some trans-ovarian activity has also been observed. Optimum control of fruit pests is obtained when lufenuron is applied at egg hatching. The product is not plant-systemic but has some translaminar activity against Spodoptera littoralis on cotton leaves. Leaf-feeding caterpillars are controlled in all instars. On vines, the product's residual activity means that in many cases only one application per season is required.
The formulated product, Match, is safe to all plant varieties tested. In field trials, lufenuron gave equal or better results than standard insecticides. The company has demonstrated that the fermentation or the quality of wines made from lufenuron-treated grapes is not affected by the product. It is safe to adults of beneficial insects and the company recommends its use in IPM programmes.
Lufenuron has been shown (BCPC 2000) to exert little effect on the egg hatching of the American bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) but provided good control of the first instar stage. -

Environmental fate:
Animals:Major route of elimination was via faeces, with very little degradation.Soil:Lufenuron was rapidly degraded in biologically active soils under aerobic conditions. DT50 13-20 d. Lufenuron showed a very strong adsorption onto soil particles: Koc (mean value) 38 mg Plant:No metabolites occurred in significant amounts in the investigated target crops (cotton, tomatoes).
Fate in soil:
Lufenuron is broken down by soil microbes, it has a soil half-life of two weeks under normal conditions. It is strongly adsorbed by soil particles. The potential for contamination of groundwater is low.Fate in aquatic systems:
Lufenuron is degraded by photolysis and hydrolysis. The photolytic half-life is 85 days. The rate of hydrolysis is dependent on temperature and pH, being fastest at high temperatures and pH.Transport InformationHazard Class:III(Slightly hazardous)
