How It Works: Mode of Action
Josh is a systemic insecticide. Cartap hydrochloride interferes with insect nerve signals, affecting feeding and movement.
-
Plant uptake: The active ingredient enters the plant system.
-
Nerve action: It blocks channels involved in normal insect nerve signalling.
-
Feeding stops: Susceptible insects lose normal feeding and movement, leading to control.
Rotate only with suitable products from a different action group under a crop-specific resistance-management plan. A different brand of cartap is still Group 14.

Dosage & Application Guide
Numerical application programmes are withheld because the manufacturer booklet and separate formulation reference do not establish complete current Josh directions with matching treatment conditions, method, carrier and harvest requirements. Resolve the differing published product quantities with the supplied current label before treatment.
Keep the rice stem borer and leaf folder scope tied to the exact Josh soluble-powder label. A separate generic formulation reference does not supply the complete branded treatment programme.
The manufacturer booklet lists a wider product-quantity range than the separate formulation reference and limits the authority of its recommendations. Do not select a higher quantity or combine partial sources into a treatment plan. Confirm the full current label; missing harvest intervals do not permit immediate harvest.
No per-litre or tank rate is derived. Application method, crop-stage timing, repeats, maximum applications, rainfast time and field-entry interval must come from the current supplied label.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the rice pest: Check whether the problem is stem borer or leaf folder before selecting treatment.
-
Resolve the rate: Match the supplied Josh label to cartap hydrochloride 50% SP. Do not substitute a granule or another concentration.
-
Follow the complete directions: Use the label’s matched product rate, water volume, mixing sequence, equipment, method and timing. Do not mix with alkaline chemicals.
-
Plan harvest and follow-up: Respect the current label’s harvest and entry intervals. Keep an application record and follow its restrictions on repeat treatments.
