Aaatank - Carbosulfan 25% EC - Dhanuka
Aaatank Insecticide | Carbosulfan 25% EC
A Dhanuka insecticide for selected sap-feeding and chewing pests. Check the exact crop and pest on the supplied label before planning an application.
What it controls: Selected borers, aphids, thrips and rice pests, matched to the crops listed below.
When to use it: Only after the supplied label confirms the crop, pest and application method.
What to include: The crop-specific dose, water requirement, harvest waiting period and protective equipment from the pack label.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🎯Defined crop–pest uses: The crop table separates fruit-boring insects from sap-feeding pests, so a claim for one crop is not treated as a recommendation for every crop.
- 🛡️Two ways to reach susceptible pests: Contact action works through exposure to the treatment; stomach action works when a susceptible insect takes it in while feeding.
- 🌿Movement within the plant: The manufacturer describes systemic activity, meaning the active ingredient can move within treated plant tissue.
- 🔎Recognisable resistance group: Carbosulfan belongs to IRAC Group 1A. Check active ingredients and groups when choosing a later treatment, not just the brand name.
- 🧭Fits a monitored pest programme: Crop inspection and correct pest identification help decide whether treatment is needed. They do not replace the product’s label restrictions.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Aaatank acts on insects, not on fungal diseases or nutrient shortages. Its active ingredient affects the insect nervous system.
- The pest encounters the treatment: A susceptible insect may be exposed through contact or feeding.
- Normal nerve control is interrupted: Carbosulfan inhibits acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that helps switch off nerve messages.
- Nerve messages keep firing: The disrupted signals prevent normal nerve function in susceptible insects and lead to control.
Changing to another Group 1 insecticide is not automatically a useful resistance rotation. Seek crop-specific advice on effective alternatives and combine chemical control with suitable non-chemical pest management.

Dosage & Application Guide
No numerical Aaatank programme is supplied here. The crop-specific application method, dose, water volume and harvest waiting period must be confirmed together before use.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All crops listed above | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
Use only the complete directions supplied for your crop. A product amount alone is not a full application instruction.
*The dose, water volume and harvest interval remain withheld. PHI means the minimum time from the last treatment to harvest; it is not a repeat interval or a worker re-entry period.
The EC formulation name does not establish whether a use is a foliar spray, soil treatment or drench. No per-litre, pump or fixed repeat-treatment recipe is provided.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the crop and pest: Compare the actual pest with the crop-specific label. Leaf damage alone does not identify the insect or prove that this product is suitable.
- Resolve the full directions first: Confirm dose, method, water requirement, timing, maximum applications and harvest restrictions before opening the container.
- Measure for the labelled basis: Use the stated amount of commercial product and the correct treated-area basis. Pack size is not an application rate.
- Follow the specified equipment and mixing method: Use only the preparation and application procedure on the supplied label. This summary does not establish a spray or drench recipe.
- Protect people and surroundings: Use the required protective equipment and avoid exposure of bystanders, pollinators and water bodies. Follow label restrictions for flowering and bee activity.
- Keep an application record: Record the crop, target pest, treatment date and amount. Check the label before any repeat application and before harvesting.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Aaatank?It is Dhanuka’s Carbosulfan 25% EC insecticide. It is not the same as a carbofuran granule or a product with a different percentage.
2. Does “vegetables” mean I can use it on any vegetable crop?No. A general category on a website is not a substitute for a named crop and pest on the supplied label. Confirm the exact vegetable crop before use.
3. Why is there no acre or pump dose here?The reviewed public information did not establish the full crop-specific method, water and harvest restrictions. Quoting a product amount alone could create an incomplete or misleading instruction.
4. How soon can I harvest after treatment?Use the pre-harvest interval on the current pack label for your crop. No crop-specific Aaatank PHI was verified for this description, so no number is provided.
5. Can I mix Aaatank with another pesticide?No blanket tank-mix or adjuvant recommendation is made here. Check both current labels and qualified crop advice. A physical jar test alone does not establish crop safety, legal use or effectiveness.
Safety & Disclaimer
Use only as permitted by the current Indian label supplied with the product. Wear the label-specified protective clothing and equipment; avoid skin and eye contact and breathing spray or dust. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling pesticides. Wash exposed skin after work and change contaminated clothing.
Keep the original labelled container securely closed and away from children, animals, food, feed and drinking water. Prevent drift, spillage and equipment washings from reaching ponds, streams, wells or neighbouring crops. Do not reuse empty pesticide containers; follow the label and local disposal requirements.
For accidental exposure or suspected poisoning, stop work and obtain medical help promptly. Take the product label with you so the clinician can identify the formulation. Follow the label first-aid directions; do not invent a home treatment.
