“…Insect growth regulators are generally classified as JH analogues (JHAs), ecdysone agonists, or molt inhibitors (Mondal and Perween 2001). These synthetic mimics affect the normal development of immature insects (Mohandass et al 2006). In the present investigation, pyriproxyfen, a juvenile hormone analogue, showed the potential for extending life stages which corresponds to the results of Edwards et al (1995), Kellouche and Soltani (2006) and Sashindran et al (2007).…”

“…Progeny survival was significantly reduced with methoprene in Onthophagus taurus Schreber (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) (Nino et al 2009). Another JHA, hydroprene, is considered to be an alternative to conventional insecticides because of its specific activity against immature insect stages, low persistence in the environment, and nontoxic effect on mammals (Mohandass et al 2006).…”

Insect growth regulators generally have a selective effect on the target insects and have practically no apparent side effect on non-target organisms especially vertebrates. Hence, insect growth regulators could be a suitable choice to control pests in stored products. Ten-day-old larvae of Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) were expressed to the juvenile hormone analogue pyriproxyfen in order to have an effect on growth, metamorphosis, reproduction, lipid and protein contents of ovaries. The larvae were treated by 0.02, 0.04, 0.08, 0.16, and 0.3 ppm of JHA in an artificial diet where controls received acetone alone. The results indicated significant differences in duration of growth, mean longevity of hatched adults, percentage of emerged normal adults, abnormal pupae, hatched larvae and mean oviposition ratein addition to the lipid and protein of ovaries compared to the controls. An inhibition concentration of fifty (IF 50 ) for prevention of emerging adults was recorded 0.134 ppm. Pyriproxyfen caused significant defects in the legs and wings of some adults and sever morphological changes in the ovaries of emerged adults. The results showed that pyriproxyfen may be applied as an insecticide to decrease the damage caused by Indian meal moth on stored products. Pyriproxyfen can be used with low side effects to humans.

“…Further more, the combination of the JHAs methoprene at 10 ppm and fenoxycarb at 5 ppm with the ecdysteroid agonists tebufenozide and methoxyfenozide at 5 or 10 ppm in the cereal rearing diet of the last instar larvae of P. interpunctella increased their mortality compared with the cases when tebufenozide or methoxyfenozide was applied alone (43). IGRs act mainly against the immature developmental stages and exhibit little or no lethal effect against adults (9,12,30,39,42), but our results seem to contradict the above statement since all of the tested species exhibited some mortality levels after contact with the IGR-treated com modities, while mortality for all species was dose dependent. However, this is not the first study in which toxic effects of IGRs against adults have been reported.…”

Insect growth regulators (IGRs) (two juvenile hormone analogues [fenoxycarb and pyriproxifen], four chitin synthesis inhibitors [diflubenzuron, flufenoxuron, lufenuron, and triflumuron], one ecdysteroid agonist [methoxyfenozide], and one combination of chitin synthesis inhibitors and juvenile hormone analogues [lufenuron plus fenoxycarb]) were tested in the laboratory against adults of Prostephanus truncatus in maize and against adults of Rhyzopertha dominica in wheat. The tested IGRs were applied in maize at three doses (1, 5, and 10 ppm) and assessed at three temperature levels (20, 25, and 30°C) in the case of P. truncatus, while in the case of R. dominica the above doses were assessed only at 25°C in wheat. In addition to progeny production, mortality of the treated adults after 14 days of exposure in the IGR-treated commodities was assessed. All IGRs were very effective (>88.5% suppression of progeny) against the tested species at doses of $ 5 ppm, while diflubenzuron at 25°C in the case of P. truncatus or lufenuron and pyriproxyfen in the case of R. dominica completely suppressed (100%) progeny production when they were applied at 1 ppm. At all tested doses, the highest values of R. dominica parental mortality were observed in wheat treated with lufenuron plus fenoxycarb. Temperature at the levels examined in the present study did not appear to affect the overall performance in a great extent of the tested IGRs in terms of adult mortality or suppression of progeny production against P. truncatus in treated maize. The tested IGRs may be considered viable grain protectants and therefore as potential components in stored-product integrated pest management.

“…Thus, hydroprene can be considered as an alternative to conventional insecticides because of its specific activity against immature insect stages, low persistence in the environment, and virtually non-toxic effects on mammals (Mohandass et al, 2006). However, behavioral adaptations of target insects can play an important role in developing resistance to treated contact insecticides including hydroprene.…”
