Flufenoxuron is an insecticide that belongs to the benzoylurea chitin synthesis inhibitor group, which also includes diflubenzuron, triflumuron, and lufenuron.[1]
Flufenoxuron is a white crystalline powder.[1] It has low solubility in water, is not flammable, and is not an oxidizer.[1]
Toxicology and safety
[edit]Flufenoxuron toxicity to humans and other mammals is low,[1] but it has a potentially high bioaccumulation in fish despite its low water solubility.[2]
