CAS 376645-78-2: Tebufloquin

Tebufloquin is an insecticide, which is a synthetic compound designed to target specific pests. It is derived from chemical synthesis with a mode of action that interferes with critical biological pathways in insects, rendering them unable to survive or reproduce. Tebufloquin works primarily by targeting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and eventual death. The applications of Tebufloquin are particularly valuable in agricultural settings, as it provides effective control over a broad spectrum of insect pests that threaten crop yields. Its unique mode of action helps in managing resistance issues that might arise from the use of other pesticide classes. Moreover, Tebufloquin can be used in integrated pest management programs due to its ability to target pests selectively while minimizing impact on beneficial insects. The specificity and efficacy of Tebufloquin make it a vital tool in sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring both productivity and ecological balance.
