Boregan G - Cartap Hydrochloride 4% GR - ADAMA

ADAMA Boregan G: Product Overview

ADAMA Boregan G is a granular insecticide containing Cartap Hydrochloride 4% GR. ADAMA identifies it for leaf folder and stem borer in rice, while the current Government of India major-use table also lists whorl maggot under the Cartap Hydrochloride 4% granule registration.

ADAMA describes Boregan G as a nereistoxin analogue with systemic, stomach and contact action. The treated insect discontinues feeding, and ADAMA states that death follows from starvation. IRAC classifies Cartap hydrochloride in Group 14: nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channel blockers in the nereistoxin-analogue chemical class.

The official Indian table gives hectare rates for this granular formulation but no spray-water volume or numeric pre-harvest interval for the listed rice rows. A blank entry is not zero water, zero waiting days or an exemption; the current physical pack remains the final authority.

Why Choose Boregan G?

• Verified product identity: ADAMA's current India page confirms Cartap Hydrochloride 4% GR and a granular formulation.
• Label-aligned rice focus: the checked official sources support rice or paddy rather than extending the page to unverified crops.
• Relevant target scope: stem borer, leaf folder and whorl maggot are covered by the current national major-use entry.
• Defined resistance group: IRAC Group 14 distinguishes same-active substitutes from genuinely different-group program alternatives.
• Conservative application guidance: the official hectare rates are retained without inventing a pump dose, per-litre rate, field-water depth or application timing.

How Cartap Hydrochloride Works

1. Systemic product action: ADAMA describes Boregan G as a systemic insecticide.
2. Contact and stomach routes: susceptible insects can be affected through contact with the treatment or ingestion of treated plant material, as described by ADAMA.
3. Nerve-channel blockade: Cartap hydrochloride blocks insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channels. This disrupts cholinergic transmission, produces paralysis and stops feeding in susceptible insects.

Verified Indian Use, Dose, Water and PHI

The dash in the checked Government of India water and waiting-period columns is not evidence of zero water, a zero-day PHI or an exemption. Do not derive a per-acre, per-litre, pump or pack-coverage claim from this table. Follow the current physical Boregan G label and local authorised guidance.

Application and Safety Guidance

• Confirm the crop, target pest, formulation rate and directions on the current physical Boregan G label before application.
• Use the product only as a granular formulation. Do not dissolve it into a spray tank or publish an ml-per-litre conversion.
• The checked sources do not state a universal timing, days-after-transplanting window, field-water depth, repeat interval, maximum treatment count or re-entry period. Follow the current pack.
• No fertiliser blend, sand blend, tank mix, compatibility or simultaneous-use recommendation is made here. Any separately recommended alternative must be used only under its own current label.
• Wear every item of personal protective equipment required by the current label. Avoid skin, eye and inhalation exposure, and wash thoroughly after handling.
• Prevent granules, runoff, washings and empty packaging from entering water bodies. Follow the pack for storage and disposal.
• If exposure or poisoning is suspected, seek medical attention promptly and show the product label. This page does not publish an unverified antidote instruction.

Resistance-Management Guidance

Boregan G, Katsu 4% G and Boregan SP all contain Cartap hydrochloride and remain IRAC Group 14. They are similarity substitutes, not resistance rotations. If another intervention is justified, select a separately applied product from a genuinely different effective IRAC group only when its own current Indian label covers rice and the diagnosed target pest. Do not tank mix, layer or apply products simultaneously on the basis of this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ADAMA Boregan G contain?
Cartap Hydrochloride 4% GR, a granular IRAC Group 14 insecticide.

Which crop is verified?
Rice or paddy. Do not extend use to another crop unless the current physical Boregan G label expressly lists it.

Which pests are listed?
The current national major-use table lists stem borer, leaf folder and whorl maggot for Cartap Hydrochloride 4% granules in rice.

What is the verified formulation dose?
18.75 kg/ha for stem borer and 18.75-25 kg/ha for leaf folder and whorl maggot. Follow the complete rate and directions on the current pack.

What is the PHI?
The checked national table gives a dash rather than a numeric PHI for these rows. Do not interpret this as zero days; the current physical label controls.
