How It Works: Mode of Action
Arashi works on the muscular system of the insect. It binds to the Ryanodine Receptors, causing an uncontrolled release of calcium.
- Ingestion: The insect eats the treated leaf or comes in contact with the spray.
- Muscle Paralysis: The medicine drains calcium from the insect's muscles, causing instant paralysis.
- Starvation & Death: The pest can no longer move its mouth or body to feed. Crop damage stops immediately, and the insect dies within 1-3 days.
It also has translaminar action (moves from top of the leaf to bottom) to kill hidden pests.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not under-dose.

| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | 60 ml | 200 L | 0.3 ml/L | 47 Days |

How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when you first see the pest or when damage reaches the Economic Threshold Level (ETL). For Sugarcane Top Borer, apply in June.
- Mixing: Perform a "jar test" before mixing with other chemicals. Do NOT mix with highly alkaline products (like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulphur).
- Coverage: Ensure uniform coverage. For Rice, consider using Drone spraying for better efficiency.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
