The insecticidal activity and mechanism of tebuconazole on Nilaparvata lugens (Stål).

Our findings illustrate the insecticidal mechanism of tebuconazole, possibly by inhibiting normal molting or disrupting microbial homeostasis in N. lugens, and provide an important rationale for developing novel insect management strategies to delay escalating insecticide resistance.
