Juvenile Hormone III is a sesquiterpenoid hormone found in insects, playing a key role in regulating development, reproduction, and metamorphosis. It prevents the transition from larval to adult stages by maintaining larval characteristics during growth. Juvenile Hormone III is crucial in controlling molting cycles and reproductive maturation in various insect species. Due to its importance in insect physiology, it is also studied for potential use in pest control strategies, disrupting growth and development in agricultural pests without harming non-target organisms.
