Development of Insecticidal Hormones

As regulating substances for insect growth and development, insect hormones can interfere with their hormonal balance. These insecticides disrupt normal growth, development, metamorphosis, and reproduction, resulting in pest death. Insect hormones can be effectively used for agricultural pest control, and the main ones developed and applied are juvenile hormones and sexpheromone.

Lifeasible specializes in plant protection research and has many years of experience in insecticide research. By establishing a series of insect hormone and insecticide development platforms from R&D to production, we aim to provide effective solutions for pest control and promote sustainable agricultural development.

Application of insecticidal hormone

• Juvenile hormones are a group of hormones that maintain larval traits and promote ovarian development in adult insects. It is derived from the pharyngeal lateral body, and we have isolated various juvenile hormones from lepidopteran insects. Insect juvenile hormones are used as insecticides to control pests and diseases by inhibiting the metamorphosis or molting of insects. They also affect insect reproduction or stagnation. Juvenile hormones are green, environmentally friendly, effective, and safe for pest control.
• Sexpheromone is a volatile chemical secreted by the glands at the end of the abdomen or other parts of adult insects. It can lure insects of the same species and opposite sex to mate. At present, we have synthesized a variety of insect pheromones. Our synthesized pheromones are divided into pest monitoring and pest control. Pheromones have specificity, high sensitivity, accurate trapping, safety, and effective action in disease prevention and control. Applying extra-sexual hormones for pest control mainly involves direct trapping and interference with mating.

What we offer

Agricultural, chemical, and biological control are the main methods of controlling biological pests and diseases. Chemical drugs and environmental pollution have made it challenging to increase the popularity and resistance of some insects, including brown flies. Therefore, we screened double-stranded RNA for pest control by using key genes related to control insect growth and development and achieved good control effects. For example, in developing insect hormones and insecticides, we have used RNAi technology to regulate essential functional genes by cloning and identifying them. This is for the effective prevention and control of insect diseases.
