Caldan 50 SP Insecticide
Caldan 50 SP Insecticide is a highly effective systemic and contact insecticide containing Cartap Hydrochloride 50% SP, widely used for controlling destructive borers and leaf-feeding insects in crops like rice, sugarcane, vegetables, and fruits. It works by disrupting the insect nervous system, leading to paralysis and death. Because of its strong stomach and contact action, Caldan 50 SP quickly controls pests that damage stems, leaves, and growing points, helping farmers protect yield and crop quality.
Agricultural research and field usage have shown that Cartap Hydrochloride is particularly effective against stem borers and leaf folder pests in rice, which are responsible for significant yield losses. Its ability to penetrate plant tissues allows it to reach hidden pests feeding inside stems and leaves, making it a reliable solution in integrated pest management programs.
