Mode of Action:

Lufenuron: is a benzoylurea insecticide, a dichlorobenzene, a N-acylurea, an aromatic ether and anorganofluorine compound. Lufenuron is sold as an agricultural pesticide for use against lepidopterans, eriophyid mites,and western flower thrips. It is an effective antifungal in plants Lufenuron is also used to fight fungal infections, sincefungus cell walls are about one third chitin Lufenuron is used in veterinary for the control of flea. Lufenuron is aninsecticide from the group of insect development inhibitors, more specifically chitin inhibitors. It is used against fleasin dogs and cats.

Abamectin: Insecticides & Acaricides IRAC GROUP 6 Main Group and Primary Site of Action :Glutamate-gated chloride channel (GluCl) allosteric modulators Nerve and muscle action Strong evidence that actionat one or more of this class of protein is responsible for insecticidal effects} . Abamectin is a widely used insecticideand anthelmintic. Abamectin, is a member of the Avermectin family and is a natural fermentation product of soildwelling actinomycete Streptomyces avermitilis. Avermectins are 16-membered macrocyclic lactones produced byStreptomyces avermitilis, and abamectin is a blend of avermectin B1a and avermectin B1b. The anthelminthic,insecticidal, and acaricidal activities of avermectins are well known and their mode of action is via blocking . -aminobutyric acid-stimulated chloride channels and open non- neurotransmitter-gated chloride channels. This causes an ionimbalance in the nervous system, resulting in paralysis.
