Lufex
Lufex is an insect growth regulator (IGR) belonging to the benzoylurea group.
- It inhibits chitin synthesis in insects — chitin is essential for forming the insect exoskeleton.
- Highly effective against lepidopteran larvae such as bollworms, fruit borers, pod borers, leaf folders, and armyworms.
- Long residual activity — protects crops for an extended period.
- Apply at early larval stages or at egg-hatching period for best results.

1. Corrects Micronutrient Deficiency
Zinc (Zn): Essential for enzyme activation, auxin (growth hormone) production, and seed development.
Iron (Fe): Vital for chlorophyll formation and energy transfer in plants.
2. Improves Photosynthesis
Iron boosts chlorophyll synthesis, giving leaves a healthy green color and increasing energy production.
3. Enhances Growth & Yield
Zinc promotes strong stem elongation, leaf expansion, and root growth.
Improves grain filling, fruit setting, and seed quality.
4. Stress Resistance
Helps plants withstand drought and temperature extremes.
Strengthens plants against disease and pest attack through improved metabolism.
5. Quality Improvement
Enhances taste, size, and nutritional value of produce.
Reduces physiological disorders like chlorosis (yellowing leaves) and stunted growth.
6. Broad Crop Use
Suitable for cereals, vegetables, fruits, oilseeds, and cash crops.
Can be applied via foliar spray or fertigation.
Lufex is an insect growth regulator (IGR) belonging to the benzoylurea group.
It inhibits chitin synthesis in insects — chitin is essential for forming the insect exoskeleton.
Prevents larvae from molting properly, leading to death before they reach the next stage.
Works mainly through ingestion (stomach poison), with some contact effect.
2. Agricultural Role
Highly effective against lepidopteran larvae such as bollworms, fruit borers, pod borers, leaf folders, and armyworms.
Used in cotton, vegetables (tomato, chilli, okra), pulses, rice, and fruit crops.
Best for preventive or early-stage control of caterpillar pests.
3. Benefits
Long residual activity — protects crops for an extended period.
Selective action — safe for many beneficial insects.
Breaks the pest life cycle, reducing future infestations.
Ideal for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and resistance management programs.
4. Application Notes
Apply at early larval stages or at egg-hatching period for best results.
Common dose: 50–100 ml per acre (as per label recommendations).
Thorough coverage of the crop canopy is essential for effectiveness.
