How It Works: Mode of Action
- Ingestion & Contact: The insect larva eats a treated leaf or comes into contact with the spray.
- Muscle Paralysis: The chemical targets the insect's Ryanodine Receptors, causing an uncontrolled release of calcium. This leads to immediate muscle paralysis.
- Rapid Elimination: The insect loses the ability to feed instantly and dies within 2-3 days from starvation and physiological collapse.
Note: Sicario also works on eggs (ovi-larvicidal), killing larvae before they even hatch.

How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply as a preventative measure or at the first sign of pest incidence (egg hatching or early instar larvae). For rice, apply between 20-55 days after transplanting.
- Mixing: Shake the bottle well before use. Fill the spray tank with half the required water, add the measured dose of Sicario SC, and mix well before adding the remaining water.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough and uniform coverage of the foliage. For maize, direct the nozzle into the leaf whorl.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not spray near water bodies.

Yes, it has low toxicity to adult bees once the spray has dried. It is recommended to spray in the evening when bees are not actively foraging.
