How It Works: Mode of Action
Tolfenpyrad blocks mitochondrial complex I electron transport in susceptible pests.
- Respiration is targeted: Tolfenpyrad belongs to IRAC 21A.
- Energy production is disrupted: Complex I inhibition interferes with normal cellular energy processes.
- Choose the crop-specific target: This does not make every pest on a listed crop an approved target.
Rotate according to the crop label and resistance-management advice. Do not assume a different brand name or a premix eliminates resistance risk.

Dosage & Application Guide
The table provides qualified September 2025 formulation-reference checks, not a complete current Brahamos application programme. Unresolved product-rate units are not guessed.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Product amount | Water reference | Rate status | PHI (days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cabbage | Rate withheld | 202 L / acre* | Confirm pack | 5 |
| Chilli / Mango | Rate withheld | 202 L / acre* | Confirm pack | 7 |

Original September 2025 formulation reference uses 500 L water/ha for every listed crop (approximately 202 L/acre); the different harvest intervals are retained above. The product entry 1000 is not assigned a unit from the EC formulation alone.
IIL gives a 400 ml quantity without an area or water basis, so it is not a recommended acre rate here. The manufacturer’s current page and pack image spell the brand Brahamos; verify the supplied pack.
Obtain the supplied label’s complete rate, route, equipment, timing, repeat limit, compatibility, re-entry and harvest directions before treatment. No universal per-litre or tank recipe is inferred.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify crop and pest: Match both to the current Brahamos label before selecting treatment.
- Check the complete programme: Use the pack’s rate, route, water and equipment instructions. A partial reference is not enough to prepare a treatment.
- Plan resistance management: Consider the IRAC groups of every active ingredient and avoid repeated sole reliance on the same modes of action.
- Protect people and water: Follow label protective-equipment, drift, re-entry and harvest precautions. Prevent spills and washings from reaching water bodies.
