How It Works: Mode of Action
Mission SC works on the muscular system of the insect, specifically targeting the Ryanodine Receptors (RyR). Unlike older poisons that target nerves, this targets muscle control.
- Ingestion: The insect eats a treated leaf or comes into contact with the spray.
- Calcium Release: The chemical binds to the muscle receptors, causing an uncontrolled release of stored calcium.
- Paralysis & Death: The insect loses muscle control, becomes paralyzed, stops feeding immediately, and dies within 1-3 days.
Note: This unique mode of action makes it excellent for controlling pests that are resistant to other chemicals.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | 60 ml | 200 L | 0.3 ml | 47 Days |
| Cotton | 60 ml | 200 L | 0.3 ml | 9 Days |
| Tomato / Brinjal / Cabbage | 60 ml | 200 L | 0.3 ml | 3 Days |
| Sugarcane (Spray) | 150 ml | 400 L | 0.4 ml | 208 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the early stages of pest infestation (e.g., Active Tillering in Rice or Square Formation in Cotton) for maximum prevention.
- Mixing: Avoid mixing with highly alkaline water (pH > 8). If using borewell water, use a pH buffer. It is compatible with most common fungicides like Propiconazole.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the foliage. For drones, use 10-25 Liters of water per acre with appropriate nozzle calibration.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
