Boregan SP - Cartap Hydrochloride 50% SP - ADAMA
Boregan SP - Cartap Hydrochloride 50% SP - ADAMA
Boregan SP Insecticide | Cartap Hydrochloride 50% SP
A systemic insecticide for rice stem borer and leaf folder, with contact and stomach action against
susceptible insects.
Crop and pests: Rice: stem borer and leaf folder.
How it acts: Systemic activity, with contact and stomach action; affected insects
stop feeding.
Choose the right formulation: This is the 50% soluble powder, not a granular
Boregan product.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌾 Focused rice protection: Provides an
option for two important rice pests, stem borer and leaf folder, rather than an indiscriminate treatment for every insect in the
field.
-
🌿 Systemic activity: Acts within treated
plants as well as through contact and feeding by susceptible insects.
-
🎯 Contact and stomach action: Offers two
exposure pathways against the listed pests when used by the permitted application method.
-
🛑 Stops feeding in affected insects: Feeding
cessation helps interrupt further pest feeding; it does not restore tissue already damaged.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Reaches susceptible insects: The product acts through systemic activity, direct contact and feeding exposure.
-
Disrupts nerve signalling: Cartap belongs to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channel-blocker group, affecting normal insect
nerve function.
-
Interrupts feeding: Affected insects stop feeding and subsequently die. Existing crop damage is not reversed.
Changing the brand name does not necessarily change the mode of action. Use crop monitoring and other
appropriate pest-management measures, and select any alternative only when its own label covers the crop and target. The effects on
these nerve-receptor proteins are known, but whether these effects cause the insect-control activity is not fully
established.
Target Crop & Pests

Match the pest to the label before treatment. Do not extend this rice use to whorl maggot, sucking pests,
another crop or a different cartap formulation.
Dosage & Application Guide
Plan the complete rice treatment before measuring
For the listed rice pests, dilution-water guidance is 500–1,000 L/ha, approximately 202.34–404.69 L/acre. This
is an area-based water range, not a product concentration. Confirm the application method and first treatment timing for the crop and
pest before use.
Obtain the matching product quantity, preparation instructions, equipment and harvest interval from the
supplied label before applying. Do not calculate a pump recipe from water volume or pack size. A harvest interval, a repeat-treatment
interval and a worker re-entry period are separate requirements. A missing interval does not mean zero waiting time.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the target: Confirm stem borer or leaf folder in rice and use the crop-specific label timing. A general insecticide claim
does not establish a treatment stage.
-
Keep SP and granules separate: Use only the supplied soluble-powder directions. Do not copy a granular product’s quantity, carrier
or placement method.
-
Prepare the permitted application: Follow the label’s mixing order and equipment instructions. Do not substitute a drone, seed,
soil or irrigation treatment without directions for this exact product.
-
Protect neighbouring areas: Prevent drift and water contamination, and observe the pack’s weather and non-target precautions.
-
Record and reassess: Record the field, crop, product and treatment date. Respect repeat-use limits, harvest and re-entry
restrictions rather than repeating automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which rice pests does Boregan SP target?
Stem borer and leaf folder. This description does not establish a use against every insect present in
rice.
2. Is Boregan SP the same as granular Boregan?
No. This product is cartap hydrochloride 50% SP, a soluble powder. Granular formulations have different
strengths and application directions.
3. Does feeding cessation mean immediate visible control?
No fixed knockdown time is given here. The product affects susceptible insects’ feeding and nerve function,
but existing plant damage will remain.
4. Can I use the water range to calculate a tank dose?
No. Water volume describes area coverage, not product concentration. Obtain the product quantity, method,
first timing and harvest restriction together from the supplied label.
5. Can I add another pesticide or fertilizer?
Only when both current labels permit the exact products, crop and application method. Do not assume that a
fertilizer, adjuvant or another pesticide can be added simply because it can be physically mixed.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the supplied Indian label and leaflet before opening the pack, and use the
product only for its listed crop and target. Wear the specified protective clothing and equipment. Avoid skin and eye contact and
inhalation. Keep children and animals away during handling and application. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the product;
wash thoroughly after work.
Keep the product in its original labelled container, away from children, food, feed and drinking water.
Prevent product, drift, runoff and equipment washings from entering ponds, rivers, wells and drains. Follow the pack’s precautions
for pollinators, livestock and other non-target organisms. Never reuse empty pesticide containers; follow the approved disposal
instructions.
Handle carefully and follow every pack warning. If exposure or suspected poisoning occurs, stop work and
seek medical help promptly with the product label. Do not self-administer antidotes. This description does not replace the
