Label toxicity statement

PI India lists a blue triangle, “Moderately toxic”, with the caution word “Danger”; confirm the current pack before use

The insect nervous system uses GABA-gated chloride channels to regulate nerve activity. Broflanilide acts allosterically at these channels. IRAC describes Group 30 action as inhibition of the GABA-activated chloride channel, which causes hyperexcitation and convulsions. Apply only for a crop and target pest listed on the current label.

For resistance stewardship, IRAC advises treatment-window strategies and rotation to an effective insecticide from a different mode-of-action group for a subsequent pest generation. Do not rely on the marketing phrase “resistance breaker”, do not expose successive generations to Group 30 automatically, and do not treat recommendation cards as instructions to combine products.

PHI = pre-harvest interval. The one-day PHI applies only to the four listed vegetable crops; it does not apply to corn.

PI Industries lists one formulation rate for the five crop rows: 125 ml/ha, equivalent to 25 g active ingredient per hectare. It also directs the user to apply with 500 L/ha water, a hollow-cone nozzle and thorough coverage.

• Confirm the exact crop and target pest on the current physical label before measuring product.
• Use calibrated application equipment and the official hectare rate. No universal per-acre, per-tank or per-litre instruction is published here.
• Do not apply to an unlisted crop or pest, and do not shorten the crop-specific PHI.
• No tank-mix claim is made. Establish legality, compatibility and crop safety from the current labels and qualified local advice before considering any combination.

• Keep the product away from food, empty food containers and animal feed.
• Avoid contact with the mouth, eyes and skin. Wear full protective clothing, rubber gloves, boots, goggles or a face shield, an overall or rubber apron, and a hat.
• Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew while handling or applying the product. Wash exposed body parts and contaminated clothing thoroughly after use.
• PI Industries lists no specific antidote; treatment is symptomatic and must be directed by a medical professional. Take the label or container when seeking urgent medical help.
