Diflubenzuron 480 g/L SC
Diflubenzuron 480 g/L SC is an insect growth regulator used for larval-stage control, molting disruption, and life-cycle interruption. It belongs to IRAC Group 15, the benzoylurea class, and works by inhibiting chitin biosynthesis affecting CHS1.
This formulation is better suited to early-stage intervention than to fast adult knockdown. It is used when the main goal is to suppress eggs, newly hatched larvae, and other immature stages before pest pressure becomes harder to manage.

Main Functions
Diflubenzuron 480 g/L SC is mainly used to:
- Disrupt insect molting
- Reduce larval development
- Interrupt the pest life cycle
- Lower the next generation of pest pressure
- Support early-stage pest management
Its main value is development control, not instant adult kill.
Mode of Action
Diflubenzuron interferes with the formation of chitin, which insects need to build a normal exoskeleton during growth. When immature insects cannot complete a normal molt, development is interrupted and the pest population is reduced at a critical stage.
Because of this mode of action, Diflubenzuron 480 g/L SC fits programs that focus on timing, stage control, and structured pest management. It is more effective when used before the pest population reaches a more damaging stage.
Target Pests
Diflubenzuron 480 g/L SC is mainly suited to immature insects. It is used where egg control, early larval suppression, and molting disruption are important parts of the control program.
This formulation is not designed as a typical fast adult knockdown insecticide. Its strength is the ability to affect pest development and reduce future feeding pressure through earlier intervention.
Suitable Crops and Application Areas
Diflubenzuron 480 g/L SC is used in crop protection programs where the control strategy depends on early-stage pest management. It is suitable for registered agricultural uses where growers need a product focused on larval control and life-cycle interruption.
The final crop scope, target pests, and use pattern should always follow the approved local label in the destination market.
Application Guidance
Diflubenzuron 480 g/L SC should be used according to the approved local label. Correct timing is especially important because the product works through growth regulation rather than fast adult knockdown.
In general, this formulation fits best when:
- the target pest is at the egg stage or early larval stage
- the goal is to interrupt development
- the program is built around life-cycle management
- a different mode of action is needed in rotation
Formulation Features
SC means suspension concentrate. This is a liquid formulation type designed for dilution with water before spraying. CIPAC lists SC as Suspension concentrate (= flowable concentrate).
The SC formulation gives Diflubenzuron 480 g/L SC a clear liquid identity. It is suitable for users who prefer a liquid insect growth regulator rather than a powder formulation.
Product Advantages
Diflubenzuron 480 g/L SC stands out for these reasons:
- Clear insect growth regulator function
- Strong fit for larval-stage control
- Useful for molting disruption
- Suitable for early intervention programs
- Liquid SC formulation for water dilution
- Different mode of action for rotation use
Its strongest advantage is the ability to control pest development at the stage where future infestation pressure is built.
Safety and Use Precautions
Diflubenzuron 480 g/L SC should be handled carefully during mixing, spraying, storage, and transport. It should be used according to the approved local label and standard agricultural safety practice.
Important points include:
- keep away from food, feed, and drinking water
- avoid contamination of ponds, rivers, and other water bodies
- wear proper protective clothing, gloves, and face protection
- follow local requirements for use timing and application conditions
- rotate with products that have a different mode of action
Storage and Transport
Store Diflubenzuron 480 g/L SC in the original sealed package in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat sources, food, feed, and unauthorized access.
During transport, containers should be protected from freezing, leakage, rough handling, and direct moisture exposure so that formulation quality remains stable. This storage direction is consistent with suspension concentrate handling needs.
