How It Works: Mode of Action
Pressedo uses advanced technology to target the muscles of insects. It works by affecting the Ryanodine Receptors, causing an uncontrolled release of Calcium ions ($Ca^{2+}$).
- Contact & Ingestion: The insect absorbs the poison by touching the leaf or eating the treated part.
- Muscle Paralysis: The chemical causes the insect's muscles to contract uncontrollably and then become paralyzed.
- Starvation & Death: The pest's mouthparts freeze, so it stops eating your crop immediately. It dies within days due to starvation.
Result: "Dead Heart" in paddy and fruit damage in vegetables are prevented instantly.

Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |

toxic to aquatic life. Do not use in fields where fish are
reared together with rice.
