Insecticide that mimics the juvenile hormone of insects.

It affects the morphogenesis, reproduction, and embryogenesis of insects, depending on their developmental stage (egg, larva, pupa, adult), inhibiting their normal progression and maturation.

Specifically, it has an impact on:

• Eggs aged 1-3 days where hatching is limited or delayed, and post-embryonic changes are observed.
• Inhibits the metamorphosis of larvae.
• Causes obstruction of pupal molting and adult emergence, and
• Has sterilizing properties in females, resulting in reduced oviposition and decreased egg viability.

The effectiveness of the formulation on target insects appears more slowly and gradually compared to insecticides that act on the insect nervous system. The movement of the active substance pyriproxyfen in plants is translaminar.
