Abstract
Diflubenzuron (N-[[(4-chlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl]-2,6-difluorobenzamide), an insect growth regulator, was highly effective in reducing the reproductive potential of 4 spp. of weevils, Pachnaeus litus (Germar), P. opalus (Olivier), Artipus floridanus Horn and Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.), that attack citrus in Florida. Egg hatch was significantly reduced when adult weevils were exposed to citrus foliage treated at rates of 0.15 and 0.30 g AI[active ingredient]/l of water.Keywords
