Boregan SP - Cartap Hydrochloride 50% SP - ADAMA

ADAMA Boregan SP: Product Overview

ADAMA Boregan SP is a soluble-powder insecticide containing Cartap Hydrochloride 50% SP. Its verified Indian use is the control of stem borer and leaf folder in rice.

ADAMA describes Boregan SP as a systemic insecticide with contact and stomach action. Cartap hydrochloride is a nereistoxin analogue in IRAC Group 14, classified as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channel blocker. Exposed insects stop feeding and subsequently die, according to the company product information.

The current Indian major-use table lists 500 g active ingredient and 1 kg formulation per hectare in 500-1000 litres of water per hectare, with a 21-day pre-harvest interval. ADAMA's Boregan SP label also states 400 g formulation per acre. Because the approved water volume is a range, this page does not invent a universal grams-per-litre dose.

Why Choose Boregan SP?

• Verified rice use: ADAMA India and the Indian major-use record both identify rice as the approved crop.
• Two label-listed targets: stem borer and leaf folder are the only pests claimed on this page.
• Three exposure routes: ADAMA describes systemic, contact and stomach action.
• Clear resistance identity: Cartap is an IRAC Group 14 nereistoxin analogue.
• Multiple pack choices: the catalog's five variants match the pack-size range listed in ADAMA's product literature.

Technical Specifications

How Boregan SP Works

1. Exposure: the product acts through systemic uptake, direct contact and ingestion as described by ADAMA.
2. Nerve-channel blockade: Cartap hydrochloride blocks nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channels, interrupting normal nerve and muscle signalling in susceptible insects.
3. Feeding cessation: affected insects stop feeding; ADAMA states that death follows by starvation.
4. Resistance stewardship: avoid repeatedly treating successive pest generations with Group 14 insecticides. If another intervention is needed, use a separately applied product from a different effective group whose own Indian label covers the crop and pest.

Verified Crop, Dose, Water and PHI

PHI means the minimum interval between the last application and harvest. The physical pack is the final authority where local directions or a newer approved label differ.

How to Apply and Use Safely

• Measure the label dose accurately and follow the current pack's mixing sequence. Use only on rice for the pests listed above.
• Apply in the approved water volume with label-listed spray equipment. Do not substitute an unverified drone or ultra-low-volume direction.
• No tank-mix claim is made. The Related and Upsell products below are standalone alternatives, not products to combine in one tank.
• Wear the full protective clothing required by the label while mixing and spraying. Avoid contact with the mouth, eyes and skin, and avoid inhaling spray mist.
• Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew while handling the product. Wash exposed skin and contaminated clothing thoroughly after use.
• Keep the original labelled pack away from children, food and animal feed. If exposure or poisoning is suspected, seek urgent medical care and show the product label; do not self-administer an antidote.
