 Insect growth regulators are the compounds which
interfere with the growth and development,
 Insect cannot reach adulthood, and can’t reproduce.
The insect or the whole insect population may die
eventually.
They act on insects, compared with most conventional
insecticides.
IGR is a short form of “birth control” for pests.
 Growth regulation is a natural and normal process of
insects which controlled by certain natural hormone
viz., Brain hormone, Molting hormone, Juvenile
hormone.
1. Brain hormone:
 Also called activation hormone(AH).
 It is secreted by neuro secretory cells (NSC).
It’s activate the corpora allata to produce juvenile
hormone(JH).
 Also called neotinin.
 It is secreted by corpora allata .
keep the larva in juvenile condition &
development of genitalia in adults.
3. Ecdysone :
 Also called Moulting hormone (MH).
 It is secreted by Prothoracic Glands (PTG).
 Its main function is moulting in insects.

Insect growth regulator is a chemical (natural or
synthetic) which affect the growth and
development of insects.
IGRs typically work by mimicking or inhibiting
the juvenile hormone (JH).
These can also act on eggs, causing sterility, disrupting
behavior or diapause, the process that causes an insect
to become dormant before winter.
IGRs that inhibit JH production can cause insects to
prematurely molt into a nonfunctional adult.
IGRs that inhibit ecdysone can cause pupal mortality
by interrupting the transformation of larval tissues into
adult tissues during the pupal stage. (Krysan et al.,2010.)
 1956 - The first account of the potential use of IGRs in
insect control. (Hasan and Nedim, 2004.)
 1968 - Discovery of methoprene, hydroprene and
kinoprene.
 1970 - Develop and produce new IGR products for flea
control (Precor ).
 1975 - Methoprene was first registered by EPAas a
conventional, chemical pesticide.
 1979 - The first ever application of an IGR (Diacon)as a
crop protectant, against cigarette beetles in stored
tobacco. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books.)
 1980 - IGRs first appeared on the market.
(Robert and Frederick 2010.)
Brief History And Development Of Insect
Growth Regulators
 1982 - “EPA” issued a Registration Standard for
Methoprene.
 1983 - The “ZRD” helped for lead to the development
of the hydroprene (Gentrol). (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books)

Chitin synthesis inhibitors
• CSIs prevent the formation of chitin.
•During moulting there is improper
attachment of new cuticle, that lacks
some of the layers normally occur.
•BPU analogues block the terminal
polimerization step catalyzed by chitin
synthase.
•Thiadizine compound (buprofezin)
inhibit incorporation of glucose and N-
acetyl- glucosamine.

 “Carrol Williams “(1967) proposed that, the insect juvenile
hormone (JH) as an insecticide.
 JHAs cause wide range of developmental derangement in
susceptible species.
 It affect embryogenesis, laval development, metamorphosis and
reproduction.
 The exogenous appication of JHAs to insects results in the
formation of supernumerary nymphal/larval inster, larval- pupal,
pupal- adult intermediates.
 JHAs application to adult females or eggs results in ovicidal and/ or
chemosterilizing effects.

 It is also known as Precocenes.
 Anti-juvenile hormone agents act by destroying
corpora allata and preventing JH synthesis.
 When treated on immature stages of insect, they skip
one or two larval instars and turn into tiny precocious
adults. They(adults) can neither mate, nor oviposit
and die soon.
 Eg. – EMD (ethyl (E)-3-methyl-2-dodecenoate),
Fmev (Fluoromevalonate), and PB (Piperonyl
Butoxide) etc.
 MHAs blocking the biosynthesis of moulting hormone
and disrupt moulting process.
When applied in insects, kill them by formation of
defective cuticle. The development processes are
accelerated bypassing several normal events resulting in
integument lacking scales or wax layer.
 It also affect in egg production and spermatogenesis
in adults.

 Effective in minute quantities and so are economical.
 Target specific and so safe to natural enemies.
 Bio-degradable, non-persistent and non-polluting.
 Non-toxic to humans, animals and plants.
 Well fitted into IPM programme.
 Less chance to resistance.
(http://eagri.org/eagri50)
 Kills only certain stages of pest.
 Slow mode of action.
 Not easily available.
 High Cost.
 Unstable in the environment. (http://eagri.org/eagri50)
 At present IGRs play a limited role in overall pest
managemet.
 There is a need for fundamental research on
controlled release system, which are cheaf,
non toxic and biodegradable and developed the
suitable application technology.
 The IGRs are becoming more reliable and look set
for a promising future in IPM programme.
