How It Works: Mode of Action
Pressedo works by disrupting the muscle system of the insect. It targets the Ryanodine Receptors in the pest's muscles.
- Contact & Ingestion: The insect absorbs the chemical by walking on the treated leaf or eating it.
- Muscle Locking: The active ingredient triggers an uncontrolled release of calcium in the insect's muscles, causing them to contract and lock up (paralysis).
- Starvation & Death: The paralyzed insect loses control of its mouthparts, stops feeding instantly, and dies from starvation and exhaustion.
Note: This action is highly specific to insects, making it safer for humans and mammals compared to older pesticides.

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) | 160 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1 ml / L | 35 Days |
| Brinjal | 150 - 160 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1 ml / L | Refer to Label |
| Cabbage | 150 - 160 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1 ml / L | Refer to Label |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. (Strictly 35 days for Rice).
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply as a therapeutic spray when pest population reaches the Economic Threshold Level (ETL). For Rice Stem Borer, apply at 15-25 DAT (Days After Transplanting).
- Mixing: Mix 1 ml of Pressedo in 1 Litre of clean water. Ensure thorough mixing before spraying.
- Coverage: Use a Knapsack or Power Sprayer with a hollow cone nozzle to ensure fine droplets cover both sides of the leaves.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during active bee foraging hours (spray in late evening).
