IRAC Group 30 |
How It Works: Mode of Action
Broflanilide affects GABA-gated chloride channels in the insect nervous system.
-
Target interaction: Broflanilide acts at an allosteric site associated with GABA-gated chloride channels.
-
Signal disturbance: Normal inhibitory nerve signalling is disrupted.
-
Pest effect: Excessive nerve activity leads to loss of normal function and death in susceptible insects.
Repeated use of the same mode of action can select resistant pests. Plan rotations with a qualified crop adviser and follow the label.

A pest listed for one crop is not a recommendation for every crop. Do not extend these uses to unlisted crops or targets.
Dosage & Application Guide
Numerical programmes are withheld because the checked exact-brand page does not establish a positive first-treatment condition and uses a combined product-unit heading. A generic chilli formulation reference does not establish the complete current Brofreya programme. Confirm the crop, pest, trigger, exact product quantity, carrier water, route, harvest interval and access conditions together on the supplied pack.
Complete Programme Verification
The qualitative route is thorough foliar coverage with a hollow-cone nozzle. Keep every listed crop and pest pairing separate. No carrier, dose or harvest figure is supplied as a stand-alone operational instruction while the full matching programme remains unresolved.
The shared product-unit heading does not independently resolve grams versus millilitres for every crop row. Do not guess a unit or combine a generic formulation reference with brand-page fragments. Corn and vegetable harvest requirements are distinct; confirm the matching complete programme and count its harvest interval from the final treatment.
Do not treat the vegetable waiting period as a universal harvest rule. The verified sources do not establish a complete current Brofreya programme, per-litre or tank dose, maximum sprays or re-entry interval here. Confirm these before mixing.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Check first: Identify the crop and pest, inspect the current label and measure the area before mixing.
-
Cover the crop: PI specifies thorough coverage with a hollow-cone nozzle. Confirm the complete crop-specific programme before mixing and avoid drift or runoff.
-
Protect yourself: Wear the pack-specified protective clothing, gloves, eye protection and footwear.
-
After treatment: Observe the harvest and re-entry restrictions. Keep a record of the product, crop, area and treatment date.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the active ingredient in Brofreya?
Broflanilide 20% SC. Do not substitute another strength or formulation, or its directions.
Is the mode-of-action group 23 or 30?
Broflanilide belongs to IRAC Group 30. The Group 23 statement appearing elsewhere on the PI page is not used here.
Can corn use the same harvest interval as vegetables?
No. Corn and the listed vegetable uses have distinct harvest requirements. Confirm the interval as part of the complete current crop programme; no numerical interval is cleared here.
Why are numerical directions withheld?
The PI web table does not distinguish grams from millilitres in its shared heading and does not establish a positive first-treatment condition. The separate chilli formulation reference is not a complete exact-brand programme. Obtain the matching supplied-pack directions before use.
Should I use a retailer tank recipe or automatic respray after rain?
No fixed tank recipe or automatic respray rule is established here. Follow the supplied label and local advice; do not add an extra treatment based only on weather.
