Lunox Insecticide (Lufenuron 5.4% EC) - The Expert Solution for Resistant Pests

Stop Diamondback Moth and Fruit Borers before they damage your crop.

Lunox Insecticide by Crystal Crop Protection is a powerful Insect Growth Regulator (IGR). Unlike standard sprays that only target adult insects, Lunox works by breaking the life cycle of the pest. It contains Lufenuron 5.4% EC, a specialized compound that stops larvae from molting and prevents eggs from hatching.

Best for: Farmers struggling with pests that have developed resistance to normal chemical sprays in Cabbage, Cauliflower, Chilli, and Pulses.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Lunox works differently than standard poisons. It targets the insect's ability to grow. [Image of insect molting process diagram]

  1. Ingestion: The larva eats the leaf treated with Lunox.
  2. Chitin Inhibition: The chemical stops the production of "Chitin," which insects need to form their new skin.
  3. Failed Molting: When the larva tries to shed its old skin (molt), the new skin is too weak. The larva cannot survive the process and dies.

Note: This process takes a few days. You will see a stop in feeding almost immediately, followed by the death of the larvae.
