How It Works: Mode of Action
Bravo 5000 is a "nerve poison" for insects. It targets the nervous system of the pest, disrupting the sodium channels.
- Contact & Ingestion: The insect absorbs the chemical by walking on treated leaves or by eating them.
- Excitation & Paralysis: The active ingredient causes the insect's nerves to fire uncontrollably, leading to immediate paralysis (knockdown).
- Feeding Cessation: Even before death, the pest loses coordination and stops feeding, saving your crop from further damage.
