The exponential rise in pesticide resistance to conventional chemical pesticides is another major factor driving the development of novel insecticidal active agents. One approach to solving this problem is to investigate novel classes and environmentally safe insecticidal chemicals with a variety of modes of action. Among these techniques is the creation of novel tebufenozide derivatives.
