Cyromazine Introduction

Cyromazine is an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) primarily used to control the growth and reproduction of pests. It works by interfering with the molting process of insects, preventing larvae from developing into adults, thereby effectively controlling pest populations. Cyromazine is widely applied in agriculture, livestock farming, and public health sectors, particularly effective in controlling Diptera pests such as flies and mosquitoes.

Cyromazine Application

It is mainly used to control leaf miner flies and has a good control effect on leaf miners.

• Agriculture: Used to control pests on crops such as vegetables and fruits, for example, leaf miner flies.

• Livestock Farming: Utilized to manage fly larvae in animal breeding facilities, reducing the disturbance caused by flies to animals and the environment.

• Public Health: Employed to control disease-spreading insects like mosquitoes.

Mechanism of Action of Cyromazine

Cyromazine interferes with the synthesis of chitin in insects, affecting their molting process. Chitin is a crucial component of the insect exoskeleton. Cyromazine prevents larvae from molting normally, causing them to be unable to develop into adults, thereby effectively controlling pest populations.
