What are the biological effects of bifenox and chlomethoxyfen on insects?

Label:chem

Topic
A study evaluated the insecticidal activity of bifenox and chlomethoxyfen on Locusta migratoria and Ostrinia furnacalis.
Answer
Oral administration of bifenox and chlomethoxyfen to locusts resulted in significant mortality rates (66% for chlomethoxyfen) and severe locomotion disorders. These effects were attributed to the inhibition of trehalose hydrolysis, leading to reduced hemolymph glucose levels and impaired energy supply.
