How It Works: Mode of Action
Lufenuron is an insect growth regulator in IRAC Group 15. It interferes with the new outer covering larvae need as they grow.
- Ingestion: Caterpillars eat treated leaves.
- Growth interference: Lufenuron interrupts production of the material used in their outer covering.
- Failed moulting: Susceptible larvae cannot complete normal moulting and development.
Use suitable products from different mode-of-action groups in rotation. Changing only the brand name does not change the mode of action.

Dosage & Application Guide
Crystal publishes 240 ml/acre for each listed crop and specifies uniform leaf coverage. Water and PHI marked † are general CIBRC formulation guidance, not a complete Lunox label programme.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cabbage | 240 | Approx. 202.3† 500 L/ha |
See note* | 14† |
| Chilli | 240 | Approx. 202.3† 500 L/ha |
See note* | 5† |
| Black gram | 240 | Approx. 202.3† 500 L/ha |
See note* | 10† |
The product quantity is the same for these three crops, but the harvest intervals are different.
*No separate per-litre or tank rate is supplied. Confirm timing, repeat limits, re-entry and all crop directions on the current Lunox pack before use.
†CIBRC reference for lufenuron 5.4% EC pairs 600 ml/ha, 500 L/ha water and PHIs of 14 days for cabbage, 5 for chilli and 10 for black gram. It is formulation guidance, not brand-label approval.
Acre water figures are approximate conversions; the original hectare quantity remains shown. PHI means the minimum time from last treatment to harvest.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Leaf application: Crystal calls for uniform spraying with complete foliar coverage so caterpillars can ingest the treatment.
- Pest timing: Follow the supplied label for the appropriate pest stage and crop timing; no fixed day or repeat interval is assumed.
- Measure the area: Measure the product and the area accurately; do not turn the area dose into an unverified tank concentration.
- Harvest planning: Confirm the crop-specific interval on the current label rather than applying one waiting period to all crops.
- Mixing and access: Confirm tank compatibility and re-entry directions on the pack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which pests does Lunox target?Diamondback moth in cabbage, fruit borer in chilli and pod borer in black gram.
Does it act like a fast adult-insect knockdown spray?Its main role is to disrupt larval growth and moulting after ingestion. Do not assume it controls every adult pest.
Why is even leaf coverage important?Caterpillars need to ingest treated plant material. Crystal specifically calls for uniform spray and complete foliar coverage.
Is the harvest interval the same for all three crops?No. General formulation guidance lists cabbage 14 days, chilli 5 days and black gram 10 days. Confirm the current Lunox label for your crop.
Can I use it on cotton or cauliflower?Those crops are not in the current Lunox manufacturer recommendation shown here. Do not add uses from another lufenuron brand.
