AbstractUC-62644, a moult-inhibiting insect growth regulator (IGR) belonging to the benzoylphenylureas, had an EC50 of 0.1 to 0.2 ppm in a meridic diet for the 3rd to 6th larval instars of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana Clemens. The effects of the IGR were apparent in less than 48 h after ingestion and there was evidence for some contact toxicity. The larvae were unable to discriminate between IGR-treated and untreated diet. Experimental aerial application of the IGR revealed that at <70 g in 4.7 1/ha (1 oz in 0.5 U.S. gal/acre) it effectively controlled spruce budworm populations and afforded foliage protection. These results were comparable with those obtained with Matacil® applied at the recommended rate.
