应用昆虫生长调节剂（IGR）防治储粮害虫始于1970年．以取代使用已久的杀虫剂。最初，IGR仅包括类似昆虫自己产生的保幼激素。随后，将几丁质合成抑止剂和反蜕皮素也包括进去，并对IGR应用于储粮昆虫的作用进行了广泛的生理学和生物化学研究。然而，对于以后几十年应用IGR防治 Application insect growth regulator (IGR) prevention and control of stored pests began in 1970. To replace the long-used insecticide. Initially, IGR included juvenile hormones produced only by insects themselves. Subsequently, chitin synthesis inhibitors and anti-ecdysone were also included and extensive physiological and biochemical studies were performed on the role of IGRs in stored grain insects. However, IGR control is applied for decades to come
