Product Overview

Cartap is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide known for its high efficacy, low residue, and long-lasting control.It exhibits both stomach and contact toxicity, along with systemic movement within the plant, providing excellent protection against a wide range of insect pests—including Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Hemipteran, Dipteran species, and even nematodes.Unlike many conventional insecticides, Cartap is soft on beneficial organisms such as predatory mites and natural enemies, making it an ideal choice for use in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.

Mode of Action

Cartap acts by interfering with the nervous system of pests, blocking the transmission of nerve impulses and causing loss of mobility, paralysis, and ultimately death.
Its systemic properties enable it to move through the plant's vascular system—reaching leaves, stems, and roots—to target even concealed or soil-dwelling pests.

It remains effective against resistant pest populations, and rotating Cartap with insecticides of different modes of action can help delay the onset of resistance.

Common Formulations

Target Pest Spectrum

• Lepidoptera: Rice stem borers, leaf rollers, bollworms, cabbage worms, etc.

• Coleoptera: Soil insects, scarab beetles, and other root-feeding pests.

• Hemiptera: Planthoppers, leafhoppers.

• Diptera: Leaf miners, fly larvae.

• Nematodes: Effective against certain plant-parasitic nematodes.

Key Advantages

• Broad-spectrum performance: Effective against chewing, sucking, and soil pests.

• Systemic and contact action: Protects both treated and new plant growth.

• Low residue & crop safety: Ideal for sustainable crop protection programs.

• Compatible with IPM: Minimal impact on beneficial insects and mites.

• Resistance management tool: Retains efficacy against resistant pest populations.

Safety and Handling

• Do not mix with alkaline pesticides.

• Avoid use near fish ponds or water bodies to prevent harm to aquatic life.

• For optimal results, apply during early larval stages of pest development.

• Wear protective gloves, mask, and clothing during application.

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from food, feed, and children.
