How it Works

In the insect’s nervous system there are two types of signals transferred between cells — excitatory signals and inhibitory signals. Balance between these signals is crucial for normal insect behavior. Neurotransmitters, such as GABA, communicate these signals between cells.

In a normally functioning nervous system, GABA released by one cell activates GABA receptors of another cell, resulting in inhibition. Broflanilide insecticide prevents GABA from transmitting inhibitory signals, which causes overexcitation of the nervous system and leads to incapacitation of the insect. It does this by binding to a novel insecticide site on the GABA receptor that locks it closed.

How Much to Apply

In potatoes

Pest	Application method	Application rates
For wireworm control1	Apply the in-furrow spray to uniformly cover the seed pieces and surrounding soil. Do not apply to the soil surface of a closed furrow.	100 ml/ac (250 ml/ha)
For 90 cm (36") row spacing2		2.3 ml per 100 metres of row

In corn

Pest	Application method	Application rates
For wireworm and corn rootworm control1	Apply at planting as an in-furrow or T-band spray by directing spray pattern to uniformly cover seed and surrounding soil.	100 ml/ac (250 ml/ha)
For 76 cm (30") row spacing2		1.9 ml per 100 metres of row

¹ Do not exceed 250 ml/ha (25 g a.i./ha).
² For different row spacing, see label for calculation.

Water Volume

Dilute Cimegra insecticide product in a minimum of 50 L of water per hectare (5 gallons / acre). Use sufficient water to ensure thorough coverage of the seed, or seed piece and surrounding seed furrow.

Mixing order

1. Ensure the spray tank is clean before use.
2. Fill the spray tank 1/2 full of water and start agitation.
3. Shake/agitate container well before use.
4. Add the required amount of Cimegra insecticide to the mix tank.
5. Continue agitation while filling the remainder of the spray tank.
6. After use, clean the spray tank according to label precautions.
