- 🛡️Targeted action: Contact, stomach and systemic insecticidal activity.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Contact, stomach and systemic insecticidal activity.
- Reach the pest: Apply by the label-directed foliar method with appropriate coverage.
- Block insect nerve transmission: Cartap hydrochloride is an IRAC Group 14 nicotinic acetylcholine-receptor channel blocker.
- Protect future control: Scout after treatment and rotate suitable modes of action as directed; do not repeat solely by changing brand names.
Use within an integrated pest-management programme. No claim is made that the product is harmless to beneficial insects, resistance-proof or a treatment for viral disease.
Target Crops & Pests
The current IFFCO-MC Katsu 50 SP record names rice and describes stem borer and leaf folder control. This is the 50% SP formulation, not the separate Katsu 4% granules.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Rice |

The manufacturer also mentions aphids in general prose, but a specific current rice-aphid programme was not established here. That recommendation is withheld; no additional crop is inferred.
Dosage & Application Guide
The manufacturer directly gives 400 g/acre and foliar application for Katsu 50 SP. It does not provide crop-specific water volume or harvest interval, so those fields remain pending exact pack verification.
Crop-specific Dose, Water & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Product dose | Water | Method | PHI* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 400 g / acre | Confirm label | Foliar spray | Confirm label |
Do not substitute rates or methods for Katsu 4% GR. A granule broadcast rate and a soluble-powder spray rate are not interchangeable.
*PHI is the final-application-to-harvest interval. Missing water or PHI does not mean unrestricted dilution or zero waiting days. Obtain both directions before using this programme.
No per-litre or per-tank dose, repeat interval, maximum sprays, re-entry period, rainfast time or tank-mix compatibility is invented. Confirm these requirements on the supplied label.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the crop and pest: Identify the pest and check the exact formulation and current label before use.
- Choose the labelled timing: Use the pest stage and crop-stage directions on the pack rather than a routine calendar spray.
- Prepare a measured foliar spray: Follow the crop’s product dose, water volume, mixing order and equipment. Do not assume pesticide or fertiliser compatibility.
- Protect people and surroundings: Observe harvest and entry restrictions; prevent drift and follow label precautions for pollinators, beneficial insects and water bodies.
