Broflanilide is primarily used as an insecticide in agricultural and public health settings. It is effective against a wide range of pest insects, especially those resistant to other classes of insecticides. It is commonly applied to control pests in crops such as rice, corn, fruits, and vegetables, helping to protect yield and quality. Due to its unique mode of action targeting the insect GABA receptor, it shows strong activity against chewing and sucking insects, including beetles, caterpillars, and flies. It is also used in urban pest management, including control of ants, termites, and cockroaches. Its low application rates and fast action make it suitable for integrated pest management programs. Broflanilide degrades relatively quickly in the environment, reducing residual impact, which supports its use in sustainable farming practices.
