Which of the following disrupts certain insects' normal growth process from immature to adult?

  1. Pathogen

  2. Larvicide

  3. Sterilant

  4. Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs)

The correct answer is: Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs)

Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) disrupt certain insects' normal growth process from immature to adult by interfering with their molting, development, reproduction, or other growth processes. This disruption can prevent insects from reaching maturity or reproducing, effectively controlling their populations. Unlike pathogens, which are disease-causing agents, larvicides that target larvae, or sterilants that prevent reproduction, IGRs specifically target the growth stages of insects, making them a targeted and effective tool in pest management.
