IIL Bravo 5000 Lambda-Cyhalothrin 5% EC Insecticide

• Verified formulation: Lambda-Cyhalothrin 5% in an emulsifiable concentrate.
• Group 3A mode of action: a clearly identified sodium-channel modulator for resistance-aware programmes.
• Contact and stomach action: susceptible pests can be exposed through direct contact or by feeding on treated plant surfaces.
• Four verified crop groups: the customer-facing table is limited to cotton, rice, brinjal and tomato.
• Crop-specific guidance: dose, spray-water volume and PHI are shown together rather than reduced to an unsafe universal per-litre rate.

1. Exposure: the official IIL page describes both direct-contact and stomach action.
2. Nerve disruption: Lambda-Cyhalothrin acts as a Group 3A sodium-channel modulator, interfering with normal nerve impulses in susceptible insects.
3. Knockdown: affected pests become uncoordinated and paralysed, reducing feeding damage.
4. Resistance stewardship: do not rely repeatedly on Group 3A products against successive pest generations. Where another intervention is justified, choose a separately applied, effective product from a different IRAC group whose own current Indian label covers the crop and target pest.

The official IIL Bravo 5000 page identifies cotton, brinjal, tomato and rice. The per-hectare values below are retained from the current Indian statutory Lambda-Cyhalothrin 5% EC label reference for those same four crops. The current physical Bravo 5000 pack/leaflet is the final authority and must be followed if it differs.

PHI means the minimum interval between the last application and harvest. Do not convert the table to one universal millilitre-per-litre rate because crop dose and spray-water volume must remain linked.

• Read the current Bravo 5000 leaflet before measuring the product. Use only on a listed crop for the corresponding listed pest.
• Measure the crop-specific amount accurately, mix it first with a small quantity of clean water, then add the remaining label water while agitating thoroughly.
• Apply as a foliar spray with equipment authorized on the current pack. Aim for even coverage and prevent drift to people, animals, adjacent crops and water bodies.
• Do not use for a post-harvest application. Follow the crop-specific PHI and every local restriction printed on the pack.
• No tank-mix or universal compatibility claim is made. Related and Upsell products on this page are standalone alternatives, not products to combine in one tank or apply simultaneously.

• Wear full protective clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, a suitable mask and covered footwear while mixing and spraying.
• Avoid contact with the mouth, eyes and skin, and avoid inhaling spray mist. Spray in the direction of the wind.
• Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew while handling the product. Wash exposed skin and contaminated clothing thoroughly after use.
• Keep the original labelled container away from food, food containers, animal feed, children and animals.
• If exposure or poisoning is suspected, stop work, follow the pack's first-aid directions and obtain urgent medical advice with the product label. The cited Indian label states that no specific antidote is known and treatment is symptomatic.

Always read and follow the current IIL Bravo 5000 label and leaflet. The physical pack is the final authority for crop, pest, dose, water, timing, application conditions, repeat treatment, PHI, PPE, environmental precautions, first aid, storage and disposal. This verified buying guide does not replace the label or qualified agronomic and medical advice.
