Halofenozide (Cat No.: R056145) is a non-steroidal ecdysone agonist insecticide that mimics the action of the molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone in insects. By binding to ecdysone receptors, it disrupts molting and pupation, leading to premature death of targeted pests. Halofenozide is particularly effective against lepidopteran larvae and certain turf-damaging insects, making it valuable in agriculture, turf, and horticulture pest management. Due to its selective action on insect endocrine systems, halofenozide has minimal effects on mammals and is a useful tool in entomological research.
