Brigade eVo Insecticide - 3.5 Pounds - 25% bifenthrin

Brigade eVo Insecticide/Miticide - Bifenthrin 25% WDG for Broad-Spectrum Insect & Mite Control in Specialty Crops

RESTRICTED USE PESTICIDE - Purchase requires a valid pesticide applicator's license. A copy of your license must be on file with Keystone Pest Solutions before purchase. For retail sale to and use only by Certified Applicators, or persons under their direct supervision, and only for those uses covered by the Certified Applicator's certification.

Brigade eVo Insecticide/Miticide from FMC Corporation is the latest formulation advancement in the proven Brigade bifenthrin line - a 25% bifenthrin water dispersible granule (WDG) engineered for improved handling, more precise measuring, and easier application than liquid bifenthrin formulations. Brigade eVo delivers fast knockdown and long-lasting residual control of a broad spectrum of chewing, sucking, and piercing insects and mites through both contact and ingestion activity, making it a reliable cornerstone of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs in specialty crops. Its WDG formulation minimizes the phytotoxicity and handling risks associated with emulsifiable concentrate bifenthrin products, while its high-load 25% AI concentration allows effective control at lower per-acre volumes. Brigade eVo is registered for use across almonds, strawberries, grapes, citrus, tomatoes, pomegranates, and additional specialty crops, with a broad pest target list spanning Lepidoptera, plant bugs, mites, weevils, leafrollers, and more.

Key Benefits

• Fast knockdown with long-lasting residual - bifenthrin provides rapid paralytic knockdown on contact and ingestion, stopping pest feeding quickly, while its residual activity continues to protect treated crops for an extended period after application.
• Enhanced WDG formulation - the water dispersible granule format offers improved handling and measuring precision compared to emulsifiable concentrate bifenthrin products, with reduced risk of phytotoxicity and easier cleanup.
• High-load 25% AI concentration - delivers effective bifenthrin activity at lower product volumes per acre, making Brigade eVo a cost-efficient and convenient option versus lower-concentration bifenthrin formulations.
• Broad-spectrum insecticide and miticide - controls key Lepidoptera, including navel orangeworm, peach twig borer, and codling moth, plus plant bugs, lygus, aphids, spider mites, leafrollers, leafhoppers, weevils, stink bugs, and more across the crop list.
• Flexible application methods - labeled for foliar spray, in-furrow spray at planting, transplant water treatment, hill drench, surface band at planting, and soil shank injection at planting, depending on crop; can also be used on greenhouse-grown crops and for seed production.
• IPM-compatible - broad-spectrum activity combined with resistance management by rotation with non-Group 3A chemistries makes Brigade eVo a practical fit in structured IPM programs.
• Broad tank-mix compatibility - can be mixed with other labeled insecticides, fungicides, and miticides; follows the standard WDG addition sequence for clean, stable tank mixes.

Always refer to the full label for the complete and current pest target list, crop-specific application rates, pre-harvest intervals (PHIs), maximum seasonal application rates, and any state-specific restrictions. Not all crops or states may be registered - confirm state registration status before purchasing or applying.

Application Rates & Timing

Brigade eVo may be applied by ground boom, airblast, aerial, or hand equipment, depending on the crop and target pest. It may also be applied at-plant via in-furrow spray, transplant water, hill drench, surface band, or soil shank injection for certain crops. Do not apply through any type of irrigation system. Specific rates vary by crop, pest, and application method - always refer to the crop-specific use directions on the label:

• General foliar use rate range: Refer to the crop-specific rate table on the label; Brigade eVo is a high-concentration 25% WDG formulation, and rates are expressed in dry ounces per acre.
• REI: 12 hours - do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas for 12 hours after application.
• PHI: Varies by crop - see label for the applicable pre-harvest interval for each registered crop.
• Application interval: Rotate to a non-Group 3A insecticide between applications to delay resistance development; do not rely on Brigade eVo alone for an entire season's pest management program.
• Rotational crop restriction: Crops for which bifenthrin tolerances exist may be rotated at any time; all other crops must wait 30 days following the final bifenthrin application before planting.
• Spray preparation: Add Brigade eVo directly to a tank filled ¼ to ½ full of water and agitate thoroughly. Use mechanical or hydraulic agitation only - do not use air agitation. Do not store the mixed spray solution overnight.

Aquatic buffer zones: Brigade eVo is extremely toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply within 25 feet of aquatic habitats for ground applications (150 feet for non-ULV aerial, 450 feet for ULV aerial). A maintained vegetative filter strip of at least 25 feet (or 10 feet in Western irrigated agriculture states) is required between the field edge and any down-gradient aquatic habitat. Do not apply directly to water or intertidal areas.

Pollinator protection: This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply when bees are visiting the treatment area. Do not allow drift to reach blooming plants.

ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW LABEL DIRECTIONS BEFORE USE.
