Tathastu GR - Chlorantraniliprole 0.4% GR - HPM

HPM Tathastu GR Product Overview

HPM Tathastu GR is a ready-to-use granular insecticide containing chlorantraniliprole 0.4% GR. It is intended for labelled management of stem borers, leaf folders and other caterpillar pests in rice, sugarcane and maize. The granules are applied directly to flooded or moist soil, so this product is different from liquid chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC formulations used as foliar sprays.

For safe and effective results, use Tathastu GR only on crops, pests and at doses stated on the current pack label. Do not calculate a spray-tank dose because this is a granular soil-application product.

Key Benefits

• Granular field application: Ready-to-use granules can be distributed directly without preparing a spray solution.
• Targeted borer management: Labelled for important caterpillar pests including rice stem borer and leaf folder and sugarcane borers.
• Group 28 mode of action: Chlorantraniliprole acts on insect ryanodine receptors and stops feeding after exposure.
• Multiple labelled field crops: Suitable for recommended use in rice, sugarcane and maize.
• Two useful pack sizes: Available in 1 kg and 4 kg variants on Mana Agri Mart.

Technical Specifications

How It Works

Chlorantraniliprole is an IRAC Group 28 insecticide. It activates insect ryanodine receptors and disrupts normal calcium regulation in muscle cells. Target larvae stop feeding after exposure, helping prevent further crop damage. Rotate with insecticides from other mode-of-action groups and follow local resistance-management guidance.

Labelled Crops, Pests and Application

Only the rice and sugarcane per-acre rates above are stated on the official HPM product page. For maize, timing, waiting period and crop-specific restrictions, follow the current pack label supplied with the product.

Application Guidance

• Wear the personal protective equipment specified on the pack label while handling and broadcasting the granules.
• Distribute the recommended quantity uniformly; avoid concentrated piles and uneven application.
• Use only under the moisture or standing-water conditions stated on the crop label.
• Do not dissolve the granules or convert the field dose into a per-litre spray dose.
• Keep the product away from food, animal feed and water sources. Prevent contamination of ponds, drains and waterways.
• Store sealed in a cool, dry place, away from children, animals and direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tathastu GR the same as Tathastu 18.5% SC?
No. Tathastu GR contains chlorantraniliprole 0.4% in a granular formulation for direct field application. The 18.5% SC product is a concentrated liquid formulation with different labelled doses and application methods.

Can Tathastu GR be mixed in a spray tank?
No. It is a ready-to-use granular formulation. Apply it only by the field method stated on the label.

What is the dose for maize?
Use the dose and timing printed on the current HPM pack label. A maize per-acre dose is not stated on the official product page, so Mana Agri Mart does not publish an unsupported conversion.

How should Group 28 insecticides be used responsibly?
Avoid repeated back-to-back applications of the same mode-of-action group. Follow the label and rotate with an effective product from a different IRAC group where agronomically appropriate.

What is the shelf life?
HPM lists a two-year shelf life under normal storage conditions. Always check manufacturing and expiry information on the supplied pack.

Safety and Disclaimer

Always read and follow the current official product label before use. Crop, pest, dose, timing, waiting period, protective equipment and disposal directions on the supplied label take priority over general information on this page. Keep out of reach of children and animals, avoid contamination of food and water, and seek medical advice with the product label if exposure occurs.
