Quinzamid is a selective insecticide used primarily for controlling pests like aphids, whiteflies, and thrips in crops. It functions by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme involved in the synthesis of chitin, which is essential for the formation of the insect's exoskeleton. This disruption prevents the insect from molting properly, leading to its death. Quinzamid is effective in managing pest populations while being relatively safe for beneficial insects, making it a valuable tool in integrated pest management strategies.
