氟酰脲

Novaluron, or (±)-1-[3-chloro-4-(1,1,2-trifluoro-2-trifluoro- methoxyethoxy)phenyl]-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)urea, is a chemical with pesticide properties, belonging to the class of insecticides called insect growth regulators. It is a benzoylphenyl urea developed by Makhteshim-Agan Industries Ltd.. In the United States, the compound has been used on food crops, including apples, potatoes, brassicas, ornamentals and cotton. Patents and registrations have been approved or are ongoing in several other countries throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, as well as Australia. The US Environmental Protection Agency and the Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency consider novaluron to pose low risk to the environment and non-target organisms, and value it an important option for integrated pest management that should decrease reliance on organophosphorus, carbamate and pyrethroid insecticides.
