Dollar 50 SP - Cartap Hydrochloride 50% SP - HPM

HPM Dollar 50 SP Product Overview

HPM Dollar 50 SP is a water-soluble powder insecticide containing Cartap Hydrochloride 50% SP. Its verified Indian label use is the management of stem borer and leaf folder in rice. HPM describes systemic, contact and stomach action.

Cartap is a nereistoxin analogue in IRAC Group 14. The page is deliberately limited to HPM's rice recommendation and does not extend the claim to vegetables, sugarcane, whorl maggot or other unlisted uses.

Why Choose Dollar 50 SP?

• Verified rice use: HPM lists rice as the approved crop.
• Two label-listed pests: stem borer and leaf folder.
• Clear dose guidance: 400 g/acre, equivalent to 1 kg/ha.
• Resistance-planning identity: IRAC Group 14 supports informed mode-of-action rotation.
• Multiple pack choices: 25 g, 50 g, 100 g, 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg.

Technical Specifications

How It Works

Cartap blocks the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channel in the insect nervous system. HPM describes it as a systemic insecticide with contact and stomach activity; affected insects stop feeding before dying. Do not assume that a Group 14 product will control pests or resistance situations beyond the current label.

Approved Crop, Pests and Dose

Because the approved water volume is a range, this page does not invent one universal grams-per-litre rate. Calculate the total formulation for the measured area and follow the current Dollar 50 SP label.

How to Apply

1. Confirm rice stem borer or leaf folder and measure the treatment area.
2. Measure the labelled formulation dose accurately.
3. Prepare the spray mixture in the sequence specified on the current pack and use calibrated label-approved equipment.
4. Apply uniformly within the registered water-volume range; do not replace it with an unverified drone, ultra-low-volume or fixed g/L direction.
5. Observe the 21-day interval between the last spray and rice harvest.
6. Rotate with an effective, label-approved product from a different IRAC group when resistance-management guidance calls for it.
