Uses:
Fluazuron is an insect growth regulator belonging to the class of benzoylphenyl
urea derivatives,
a class of chitin synthesis inhibitors. Fluazuron specifically interferes with
chitin formation in
ticks during engorgement, moult and hatching. The substance is intended for
tick control in beef
cattle applied topically as a pour-on for use at single dose levels of 1.5 and
