The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), has emerged as a major pest of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L, in the mid‐southern USA. In the early 1990s L. lineolaris populations developed resistance to several classes of conventional insecticides, increasing the need for insecticides with alternative modes of action such as insect growth regulators (IGRs) for integrated pest management (IPM). The benzoylphenyl urea (BPU) class of IGRs acts by disrupting the growth and development of immature stages of insects, but little is known about its impact on adult stages.

失去光泽的植物臭虫Lygus lineolaris（Palisot de Beauvois）在美国中南部已经成为棉花的主要害虫，陆地棉L.（Gossypium hirsutum L）。在1990年代初期，线虫L种群对几种常规杀虫剂产生了抗药性，从而增加了对具有其他作用方式的杀虫剂的需求，例如用于虫害综合治理（IPM）的昆虫生长调节剂（IGR）。IGR的苯甲酰基苯基脲（BPU）类通过破坏昆虫未成熟阶段的生长和发育而起作用，但对其对成年阶段的影响知之甚少。
