What is an insecticide that controls certain insects by disrupting their normal growth process known as?

  1. Stomach poison

  2. Lethal Dose

  3. Pathogen

  4. Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs)

The correct answer is: Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs)

Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) are insecticides that work by disrupting the normal growth process of insects. They interfere with the development of insects at different stages, such as larvae or pupae, ultimately preventing them from reaching maturity and reproducing. This method of pest control targets specific insect species while minimizing the impact on non-target organisms. Stomach poison, lethal dose, and pathogens work differently in controlling pests and are not specifically designed to disrupt the growth process of insects.
