Methoxyfenozide is a diacylhydrazine class insect growth regulator (IGR) that mimics the action of the natural molting hormone ecdysone in lepidopteran pests. It causes premature and incomplete molting, leading to death of larvae. This selective mode of action targets caterpillars while being safe for beneficial insects, pollinators, and natural predators. Methoxyfenozide is used in the protection of vegetables, fruits, cotton, and ornamentals, particularly against Helicoverpa, Spodoptera, and armyworms.
