How It Works: Mode of Action
Mission SC works on the muscular system of the insect, not the nervous system, making it effective even against pests resistant to older poisons.
- Targeting RyR Receptors: It binds to the Ryanodine Receptors (RyR) in the insect's muscle cells.
- Calcium Depletion: This binding forces the release of stored Calcium ions, causing uncontrollable muscle contraction followed by paralysis.
- Rapid Death: The larva becomes paralyzed, cannot feed, and dies within 24–72 hours.
Note: Crop protection starts immediately because the pest stops eating minutes after contact.

*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 active tillering stage for Rice or at the first sign of pest activity (ETL) for other crops. Avoid spraying during peak honeybee foraging hours.
- Mixing: Mission SC is compatible with most fungicides like Propiconazole. Ensure water pH is between 6.0 and 7.0 for best stability.
- Coverage: Use fine-spray nozzles (hollow cone) or Drone application (UAV) to ensure thorough coverage of the foliage.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do NOT use near mulberry farms (toxic to silkworms).
