BRAVO 2500 is another insecticide from Insecticides India Limited, and like BRAVO 5000, it also features lambda-cyhalothrin as the active ingredient. However, the key difference lies in the concentration: BRAVO 2500 contains 2.5% lambda-cyhalothrin SC (Suspension Concentrate).
Essentially, BRAVO 2500 offers the same benefits as BRAVO 5000 but with a lower concentration of the active ingredient. This makes it a suitable option for situations where a lower dose of lambda-cyhalothrin is sufficient for effective pest control.
Key Features and Benefits:
Broad-spectrum activity: Controls a wide range of chewing and sucking pests, including caterpillars, bollworms, leaf folders, thrips, and whiteflies.1
Fast action: Provides rapid knockdown of insect pests.
Long-lasting residual control: Offers extended protection to crops.2
Rainfastness: Remains effective even after rainfall.
Excellent coverage: The suspension concentrate formulation ensures uniform coverage and better penetration.
Lower concentration: Suitable for situations where a lower dose of lambda-cyhalothrin is required.
Applications:
BRAVO 2500 can be used on a variety of crops similar to BRAVO 5000, including:
Cotton: Effective against bollworms, whiteflies, and jassids.
Paddy: Controls stem borers, leaf folders, and planthoppers.
Vegetables: Manages caterpillars, thrips, and other pests.
Fruits: Protects fruits from thrips and fruit borers.

Mode of Action:
