Bioactivity of lufenuron against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

Red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum is a serious pest of stored grain commodities. A laboratory study was conducted for evaluating the sub-lethal effects of a chitin synthesis inhibitor, lufenuron at concentrations of 0.02, 0.04 and 0.08 ppm against two strains of T. castaneum. Lufenuron caused si...
