Methoxyfenozide is the active ingredient in Intrepid 240F insecticide which is used to control lepidopteron larvae in apples. Methoxyfenozide belongs to the diacylhydrazine class of insecticides. This compound mimics the activity of the insect moulting hormone(ecdysone) of lepdipteron larvae.... The larva stops feeding after ingestion of methoxyfenozide, and eventually dies. 3, record 2, English, - methoxyfenozide

Le méthoxyfénozide est la matière active (m.a.) contenue dans l'insecticide Intrepid 240 F, lequel est utilisé pour lutter contre les larves de lépidoptères des pommes. Le méthoxyfénozide fait partie de la famille des bisacylhydrazines. Ce composé imite l'action de l'hormone de mue (ecdysone) chez les larves des lépidoptères. [...] Les larves cessent de s'alimenter après l'ingestion de méthoxyfénozide et finissent par mourir. 1, record 2, French, - m%C3%A9thoxyf%C3%A9nozide

Certaines [plantes génétiquement modifiées] ont été modifiées pour être résistantes à un herbicide à large spectre [...] Dès lors que la plante cultivée est résistante, l'application de l'insecticide à large spectre élimine toutes les adventices. Un des intérêts notables pour l'agriculteur de cette technique est qu'il peut procéder au désherbage chimique après la levée, ce qui lui laisse moins d'effort à fournir, avec une plus large latitude quant au moment de l'épandage. 3, record 3, French, - insecticide%20%C3%A0%20large%20spectre
