Boregan SP (Cartap Hydrochloride 50% SP): The Ultimate Guide to Rice Pest Control
Protect your paddy crops from devastating pests and maximize your yield with Boregan SP.
Rice farming requires powerful protection against destructive pests like the Yellow Stem Borer and Rice Leaf Folder. These pests cause "dead hearts" and "white ears," which can severely reduce your harvest. Boregan SP, formulated by ADAMA India, offers a highly effective, systemic solution to stop these pests in their tracks and secure your crop's potential.
Boregan SP features an advanced formulation of Cartap Hydrochloride that penetrates deep into the plant, ensuring complete protection from the inside out.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Fast-Acting Knockdown: Immediately paralyzes pests upon contact or ingestion, rapidly stopping all crop damage and feeding behaviors.
- 🛡️Complete Systemic Protection: Translaminar and systemic action allows the chemical to move through the plant's vascular system, killing hidden borers inside the stem and folded leaves.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Defense: Protects the crop during critical growth phases (like booting and panicle exertion), preventing irreversible damage like "white ears."
- 🌧️Highly Soluble Formulation: The 50% Soluble Powder (SP) dissolves quickly in water for easy mixing, making it perfectly compatible with modern drone (UAV) sprayers.
- 🌿Excellent Return on Investment: Proven to protect yields, offering an impressive Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) that ensures maximum profitability for farmers.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Boregan SP functions as a powerful neurotoxin that disrupts the pest's nervous system.
- Systemic Absorption: When sprayed, the active ingredient quickly penetrates the rice leaf and moves throughout the plant's vascular system.
- Nervous System Blockade: Once a pest feeds on the treated plant, the Cartap Hydrochloride blocks the insect's central nervous system (nicotinic acetylcholine receptors).
- Immediate Paralysis: The insect instantly loses its ability to move or feed, resulting in rapid paralysis and eventual death by starvation, keeping your crop safe.
This unique dual-action (stomach poison and contact action) makes it incredibly difficult for pests to build resistance.

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 (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 400 g | 200 - 400 L | 1 - 2 g | 21 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For the best results, spray during the booting to early panicle stage (roughly 50 to 60 days after transplanting). Always spray in the late afternoon or early evening to protect beneficial insects like honeybees.
- Mixing: Use clean, pH-balanced water (neutral to slightly acidic). Do NOT mix with highly alkaline inputs like Bordeaux mixture or lime sulfur, as this will destroy the chemical's effectiveness.
- Coverage: Ensure complete canopy coverage. For large fields, Boregan SP is physically compatible and excellent for use with modern agricultural UAV drone sprayers.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles, and full-length clothing). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Never drain treated paddy water into lakes or rivers, as this chemical is highly toxic to fish.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. When is the best time to apply Boregan SP?
The most effective time to spray is 50-60 days after transplanting (during the booting stage) before the stem borer larvae bore deeply into the plant. Spraying in the late afternoon yields the best results.
2. Does Boregan SP control the Yellow Stem Borer from inside the stem?
Yes! Because it has systemic properties, the plant absorbs the chemical into its tissues. When the borer eats the inside of the stem, it ingests the poison and is instantly paralyzed.
3. Can I use Boregan SP with an agricultural spray drone?
Absolutely. Its 50% Soluble Powder (SP) formulation dissolves perfectly without causing nozzle blockages, making it highly compatible with drone (UAV) ultra-low volume applications.
4. Can I mix Boregan SP with other fertilizers or biopesticides?
You can mix it with many modern fungicides, but you must avoid alkaline mixtures. Also, avoid mixing it in the same tank as living biological pesticides (like Bt), as it may reduce their effectiveness.
5. Is this product safe for the environment?
While it breaks down quickly in the soil, it is extremely toxic to fish and aquatic life. Farmers must ensure field water is held for several days post-application and never allowed to run off into ponds or streams.
