How It Works: Mode of Action
Brofreya works differently than older insecticides. While most poisons block the insect's nervous system, Brofreya acts as an "Allosteric Modulator."
- Entry: The chemical enters the pest through contact (skin) or ingestion (eating treated leaves).
- Attack: It targets the GABA receptor in the insect's brain. Think of the GABA receptor as the "brakes" of the nervous system.
- Result: Brofreya effectively "removes the brakes." The pest's nerves fire uncontrollably, leading to convulsions, immediate cessation of feeding, and death.
Because it attacks a new site, it is highly effective against pests that are resistant to other chemicals.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Chilli | Thrips, Tobacco Caterpillar, Fruit Borer |
| Brinjal (Eggplant) | Fruit & Shoot Borer, Jassids |
| Okra & Cabbage | Diamondback Moth (DBM), Shoot Borer, Jassids |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chilli | 50 ml | 200 L | 0.25 ml | 1 Day |
| Brinjal | 50 ml | 200 L | 0.25 ml | 1 Day |
| Cabbage / Okra | 50 ml | 200 L | 0.25 ml | 1 Day |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. The 1-Day PHI is ideal for export-quality vegetables.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply in the evening hours when bees are less active. This maximizes contact with nocturnal pests like caterpillars.
- Mixing: The formulation is a Suspension Concentrate (SC). Shake the bottle vigorously before opening to ensure the medicine is well-mixed.
- Coverage: Use a Hollow Cone Nozzle for a fine mist. Ensure you use at least 200 liters of water per acre to penetrate the dense canopy of chilli or brinjal plants.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is Brofreya different from Coragen?
While Coragen (Group 28) is excellent for borers, Brofreya (Group 30) is a new chemistry that controls both borers AND sucking pests like Thrips and Jassids in one go.
2. Is Brofreya effective against Black Thrips?
Yes, Brofreya is highly effective against the complex Thrips species found in Chilli, including invasive varieties, due to its translaminar (penetrating) action.
3. Can I use this during the rainy season?
Absolutely. Brofreya uses QP (Quick Penetration) Technology, making it rainfast in just 30 minutes. It is the best choice for the Monsoon (Kharif) season.
4. What is the shelf life of the product?
The standard shelf life is 2 years from the date of manufacture if stored in a cool, dry place. Always shake well before use to re-suspend the particles.
5. Why is the dose only 50ml per acre?
Broflanilide is a high-potency molecule. 50ml provides the exact 25g of active ingredient required per hectare. Do not overdose; proper water volume (200L) is more important than extra medicine.
