The Ultimate Defense Against Stem Borers in Paddy & Sugarcane
Sicario Gr is a premium granular insecticide from Coromandel International, part of the trusted "Gromor Suraksha" portfolio. Powered by the advanced active ingredient Rynaxypyr® (Chlorantraniliprole), it offers superior protection against tough internal pests like Stem Borers and Leaf Folders. Unlike traditional sprays, these easy-to-use granules provide deep, systemic control while promoting better root health and greener crops ("Phytotonic Effect").

How It Works: Mode of Action
Sicario Gr works on the insect's muscular system using a unique mechanism called Ryanodine Receptor Modulation.
- Activation: When the pest eats the treated plant, the active ingredient binds to calcium channels in their muscles.
- Paralysis: This causes an uncontrolled release of calcium, leading to immediate muscle paralysis.
- Elimination: The insect enters a "coma" state, stops feeding instantly, and dies from starvation within a few days.
Note: Because it targets specific insect muscle receptors, it is highly safe for humans, mammals, and birds.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Sicario Gr is a broadcasting product, not a spray.
Dosage per Acre & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (kg / Acre) | Method | Water Volume | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 4 kg | Broadcast | N/A (Granule) | 53 |
| Sugarcane | 7.5 kg | Basal / Furrow | N/A (Granule) | 147 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last application and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing (Rice): Apply between 15 to 35 Days After Transplanting (DAT) for maximum protection against Dead Heart.
- Mixing: Mix the 4kg pack with Urea or sand to ensure uniform distribution across the field.
- Coverage (Important): Maintain 2-3 inches of standing water in the paddy field. Keep the water impounded (do not drain) for 48-72 hours to allow the roots to absorb the medicine.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
