On September 7, 2023, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority issued consultation document No. 117561, which plans to formulate maximum residue limits for broflanilide in some foods. Some of them are shown in the table below. The feedback period ends on October 5, 2023.
Broflanilide is a m-benzamidobenzamide insecticide with a new mechanism of action (IRAC Group 30) and is a gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor antagonist. Jointly developed by Japan's Mitsui Agrichemicals and BASF, the main targets are chewing mouthparts pests (including Lepidoptera and Coleoptera pests) on field crops and specialty crops such as rice, corn, cereals, fruit trees, vegetables, soybeans and cotton. It is also used for seed treatment and can be used in specialized pest control areas such as termites, ants, cockroaches and flies.
