How It Works: Mode of Action
[Image of Broflanilide mode of action diagram]Brofreya works differently than older poisons. It attacks a unique part of the insect's nervous system (the GABA receptor) that other chemicals cannot reach.
- New Binding Site: It attaches to a novel site on the pest's nervous system (Allosteric Modulation), bypassing existing resistance.
- Immediate Paralysis: Upon contact or ingestion, the insect's nerves over-excite and misfire uncontrollably.
- Rapid Feeding Stop: The pest stops eating your crop almost immediately after spraying and dies shortly after, preventing further damage.
This unique action makes it excellent for rotation to prevent resistance buildup in your fields.

|---|---|

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. The 50ml bottle is designed for exactly one acre.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brinjal | 50 ml | 200 Liters | 0.25 ml | 1 Day |
| Cabbage / Cauliflower | 50 ml | 200 Liters | 0.25 ml | 1 Day |
| Chilli & Okra | 50 ml | 200 Liters | 0.25 ml | 1 Day |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Brofreya allows for harvest just 24 hours after spraying.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the first sign of pest attack or during flowering/fruiting stages. Evening spraying is best to target nocturnal caterpillars.
- Mixing: Brofreya is a Suspension Concentrate (SC). Shake the bottle vigorously before measuring to mix the particles.
- Coverage: Use a Hollow Cone nozzle for fine misting. Ensure full coverage of the plant canopy, especially under leaves where thrips and larvae hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying when bees are actively foraging.
