Field-scale evaluation on the efficacy of a novel benzoylphenylurea TXH09 against chewing insect pests harming vegetables and rice

Structure optimization of benzoylphenylurea inhibitors (BPUs) reduces the risk of resistance and facilitates rational use with good efficiency. TXH09 [N-((2,6-dimethyl-4-(heptafluoropropyl-2-yl)phenyl)carbamoyl)-2,6- difluorobenzamide], a new BPU compound, was developed by derivation from a heptafluoroisopropyl group and possesses better polarizability, lipophilicity and permeability. In this paper, field-scale evaluation on the efficacy of...
