Abstract: Chromafenozide is a novel dibenzoylhydrazine insecticide that was developed in the collaborative research project between Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd., and Sankyo Co., Ltd., and is categorized to be an insect hormone-ecdysone agonist. Two formulations of chromafenozide and one combination formulation with silafluofen are available in Japan under the trade names of MATRIC® FL, MATRIC® DL and MATRICJOKER® DL, respectively. Chromafenozide is found to be significantly potent against various lepidopterous insects, but at the same time almost non-toxic to non-lepidopterous species, including pollinators, predators and parasitoids. As chromafenozide has a low toxicity profile in mammals and non-target organisms described above, and has minimum impact on the environment, it would be an ideal agent for integrated pest management (IPM). © Pesticide Science Society of Japan
