In the laboratory at Minden on Penang Island, West Malaysia, the relative effectiveness of 5 juvenile-hormone analogues was tested by ingestion against mature larvae of Plutella xylostella (L.) on Chinese cabbage. Hydroprene (ZR-512), which was used as a standard of reference, was more effective than any of the other analogues, the next most effective being methoprene (ZR-515), followed by ZR-520 (ethyl (2E,4E)-11-methoxy-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,4-dodecadienoate).Other references
