Propylene ether is an insect growth regulator that can interfere with the normal growth and development process of insects. It is mainly aimed at pests that have molting development stages, including but not limited to Coleoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, and other pests. Therefore, the types of pests that can be controlled by propylene ether are quite wide, including but not limited to whiteflies, aphids, scale insects, mosquitoes and flies and other pests.
The mechanism of action of pyripropyl ether is to disrupt the normal growth and development process of insects by inhibiting the synthesis of juvenile hormones in insects, resulting in the death of insects. This mechanism of action is not only lethal to insects, but also harmless to humans and other animals, so pyridyl ether is widely used in agricultural production and household pest control fields.
When using pyripropyl ether, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of appropriate concentrations and application methods according to the specific pest species and occurrence to achieve the best control effect. At the same time, pyripropyl ether also has a certain toxicity to some beneficial insects, so it is necessary to pay attention to protecting the ecological balance when using it.
In short, propylene ether is an important insect growth regulator, which has a wide range of control objects and good control effects, and is of great significance for pest control in agricultural production.
