 Novaluron in particular has been shown to have insecticidal activity against several important pests.Bioactivity of novaluron is usually much greater than that of insecticides "diflubenzuron" and "teflubenzuron" and the compound is at least as active as other insecticides from its developmental generation, for example "chlorofluazuron" and "lufenuron".In comparison to other benzoylphenyl ureas, novaluron demonstrates improved contact toxicity, while the probable mechanism of action remains the same.
