How It Works: Mode of Action
Cartap hydrochloride affects nerve signalling in susceptible insects. IRAC classifies it as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channel blocker (Group 14).
- Correct placement: The granules are applied directly in the labelled rice programme.
- Nerve disruption: Cartap blocks insect nerve-receptor channels, disrupting normal signalling.
- Pest response: Affected susceptible insects lose normal function, supporting control of the named rice pests.
Use within an appropriate local crop-management programme. Rotate modes of action where applicable; a different brand name alone does not mean a different mode of action.

Dosage & Application Guide
These quantities come from the exact Kritap-4G leaflet. Acre equivalents are calculated from the hectare rates, with each pest kept paired to its own quantity.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Rice target | Product / ha | Approx. / acre | Water / method | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stem borer | 18.75 kg | 7.59 kg | No dilution; granules | Confirm pack |
| Leaf folder | 18.75–25 kg | 7.59–10.12 kg | No dilution; granules | Confirm pack |
| Whorl maggot | 18.75–25 kg | 7.59–10.12 kg | No dilution; granules | Confirm pack |
Use a granule applicator or broadcast by hand while wearing rubber gloves, as stated in the leaflet. The formulation is used as supplied; do not turn the kilogram rate into a spray-tank concentration.
The leaflet’s harvest-interval column contains dashes. That does not mean a zero-day interval: confirm the applicable waiting period on the current pack before treatment. Its re-entry instruction is 48 hours.
Confirm crop-stage timing and any field-water management instructions on the supplied pack. No repeat interval, maximum application count or additional crop use is inferred.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the pest: Distinguish stem borer from leaf folder and whorl maggot before selecting the matching rate.
- Measure granules: Calibrate the amount to the field area; keep the original hectare rate as the reference.
- Apply as supplied: Use a granule applicator or hand broadcast with rubber gloves. Do not dissolve the product for foliar spraying.
- Observe waiting periods: Keep out of the treated area for the leaflet’s 48-hour re-entry period and confirm the harvest interval before treatment.
