Butyroin is a chemical compound used in agricultural pest management, known for its insecticidal properties. It works by interfering with the insect's metabolic processes, particularly affecting its ability to produce essential lipids and fatty acids, which are crucial for cell function and survival. As a result, pests exposed to butyroin experience stunted growth and eventually die. Butyroin is applied to crops to control a variety of insect pests, offering a targeted and potentially less toxic alternative to conventional chemical insecticides.
