How It Works: Mode of Action
Lambda-cyhalothrin affects sodium channels involved in insect nerve signalling.
- Sodium channels are affected: IRAC 3A pyrethroids change normal sodium-channel function.
- Nerve signals are disrupted: Susceptible pests lose normal nerve function.
- Use only the stated programme: Do not assume a guaranteed knockdown time or long residual duration.
Rotate according to the crop label and resistance-management advice. Do not assume a different brand name or a premix eliminates resistance risk.
Target Crops & Pests
The current manufacturer crop listing is retained below. Pest pairings use the identified Indian formulation reference unless otherwise stated; they still need to match the supplied Bravo 5000 label.

The historical rice target list contains one unreadable entry, which is not guessed here. Do not extend this scope to extra pests, crops or application routes from a different brand or formulation.
Dosage & Application Guide
The table provides qualified September 2025 formulation-reference checks, not a complete current Bravo 5000 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Rate withheld | 162β243 L / acre* | Confirm pack | 21 |
| Brinjal / Tomato | Rate withheld | 162β243 L / acre* | Confirm pack | 4 |
| Rice | Rate withheld | 162β243 L / acre* | Confirm pack | 15 |
Original September 2025 formulation reference uses 400β600 L water/ha for these four crops (approximately 162β243 L/acre). Harvest intervals: cotton 21 days, brinjal and tomato 4 days, rice 15 days. Product quantities under the generic g/ml heading are not given an inferred unit.
IIL separately lists cotton 120β200 ml, brinjal and tomato 120 ml, and rice 100 ml without an area or water denominator. Those are not presented as acre rates. Confirm the complete Bravo 5000 label.
Obtain the supplied labelβs 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 Bravo 5000 label before selecting treatment.
- Check the complete programme: Use the packβs 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.
