2. Chitin inhibitors interfere with process of synthesis of chitin due to which normal moulting and development is disrupted. Ex Novaluron , Diflubenzuran , Lufenuron , Buprofezin Chitin inhibitors

3. Chitin synthesis inhibitors disrupt molting by blocking the formation of chitin, the building block of insect exoskeleton. Without the ability to synthesize chitin, molting is incomplete, resulting in malformed insects that soon die. It suppresses egg-laying and causes egg sterility in treated adults through secondary hormonal activity. Chitin S ynthesis Inhibitors

4. Diflubenzuron Tradename :- Dimilin Formulation:- 25 WP Mode of action:- Stomach and contact poison that acts by inhibiting chitin synthesis so it interferes with formation of cuticle. Affects on:- Apple moth, Redheaded Pine Sawfly, Plain leech wheat, blue wheat leech, Jewel Beetle.

5. Flufenoxuron Tradename :- Cascade Formulation:- 100 DC Mode of action:- Broad spectrum Insect and mite growth regulator with contact and stomach action. Affects on:- Sucking Insect Pest Of Cotton Jassid , Thrips & Whitefly.

6. Chlorfluazuron Tradename :- Atabron Formulation:- 5 SC Mode of action:- Chlorfluazuron is used in subterranean termite baiting stations. Affects on:- Spodoptera litura (taro caterpillars)

7. Triflumuron Tradename :- Alsystin , Baycidal Formulation:- 25 WP Mode of action:- Broad spectrum Insect growth regulator Affects on:- Alsystin - Miners and psyllids Baycidal - Rhodnius prolixus (Bug)

8. Teflubenzuron Tradename :- Nomolt , Dart Formulation:- 150 SC Mode of action:- It is effective against Lepidoptera, Coleoptera , Diptera , Hymenoptera Aleyrodidae , and Psyllidae Affects on:- Lepidoptera, Coleoptera , Diptera

9. Novaluron Tradename :- Rimon Formulation:- 10 EC Mode of action:- It acts mainly by ingestion, but has shown some contact activity. It does not have ovicidal activity, but a high percentage of mortality of first instars hatching from eggs laid on sprayed foliage occurs. Affects on:- Spodoptera and Heliothis (Caterpillars)

10. Buprofezin Tradename :- Applaud Formulation:- 25 SC, 70 WP Mode of action:- Contact and stomach, persistent chitin synthesis inhibitor with miticidal action. Effective against specifically on Homopteran pests. Affects on:- Mealy bug, Leaf hopper, Whiefly

11. Flufenoxuron Tradename :- Cascade,Casette , Tenope Formulation:- 10%EC, 5%EC Mode of action:- Contact and stomach, inhibits chitin synthesis in nymphal mites and lepidopteran larvae. Compatible with α- Cypermethrin . Affects on:- M ites and Lepidopteran larvae
