Mode of action
editUpon its discovery by Mitsui Chemicals, Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) created the new MoA Group 30 for Broflanilide.[1][2][3][4] Broflanilide is a meta-diamide GABA-gated Cl− channel allosteric modulator.[1][2][3][4] This - along with isoxazolines providing the same MoA, so far only fluxametamide - constitute the new MoA Group 30 in the IRAC classification scheme.[3]
Advantages
edit- No cross-resistance with existing MoAs.
- Shows high effectiveness against wireworms.
- Not systemic.[1]
Environmental Hazards
editThe EPA has stated that Broflanilide is "Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans".[5]
Broflanilide meets the EPA Working Definition of PFAS. Note that "EPA considers any level of PFAS to be potentially toxicologically significant".[6]
Products
editProducts were registered in the United States in January, 2021,[7] and in Canada.[1] It is being sold under the brand names Cimegra (BASF)[8] and Teraxxa (BASF, the seed treatment form).[9]
