How It Works: Mode of Action
Shori works by targeting the insect's muscle system using a unique "Ryanodine Receptor" technology.
- Rapid Release: Upon contact with paddy water, the granule releases the active ingredient immediately, coating the plant stem.
- Muscle Paralysis: When the larva ingests or contacts the chemical, it triggers an uncontrolled release of calcium in their muscles.
- Starvation & Death: The pest loses muscle control, stops feeding instantly (preventing damage), and dies from starvation.
Note: While the pest may stay alive for a short time, it is paralyzed and cannot damage your crop.

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 (kg / Acre) | Application Method | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 5 kg | Broadcast (Granules) | N/A | 25 |

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply primarily between 15 to 25 Days After Transplanting (DAT) for the best preventive results against the first brood of stem borers.
- Mixing: Mix the 5kg pack with sand or fertilizer (like Urea) to ensure uniform distribution across the entire acre.
- Coverage: Ensure there is 2-3 inches of standing water in the field at the time of application.
- Retention: Do not drain the water! Hold the water in the field for 3-4 days after application to allow the granules to dissolve and coat the stems.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not use in fields connected to fish farming.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use Shori in a rice-fish farming system?
No. Flubendiamide is highly toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Avoid using it if you are rearing fish in or near the paddy field.
2. What is the best time to apply Shori?
The ideal time is the early vegetative stage, specifically 15-25 days after transplanting, to prevent Dead Hearts.
3. Can I mix Shori with Urea or fertilizer?
Yes, Shori granules can be mixed with fertilizers like Urea or sand to make broadcasting easier and more uniform.
4. How long does the protection last?
Shori provides residual protection for approximately 20 days, securing your crop during its most vulnerable growth phase.
5. Does it kill the pest immediately?
Shori causes immediate muscle paralysis, so the pest stops feeding within minutes. However, the pest may take 1-3 days to physically die from starvation.
