Insecticide
Methoxyfenozide, a substituted dibenzoylhydrazine, is an insecticide that functions by accelerating the moulting process. It acts as an ecdysone agonist or ecdysonoid, substituting for the natural insect moulting hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone. Methoxyfenozide is active on all feeding larval stages of the target lepidoptera.
