Are Stem Borers hollowing out your paddy stalks and Leaf Folders destroying your crop canopy? Put an end to chewing and biting pests with Dhanuka Caldan 50 SP, a highly trusted, premium broad-spectrum insecticide from Dhanuka Agritech.
Formulated with the powerful active ingredient Cartap Hydrochloride 50% SP, Caldan delivers a lethal dual-action punch. It works through both contact and systemic action, paralyzing destructive caterpillars the moment they try to feed on your crops.
Widely recognized as the "Paddy Farmer's Best Friend," Dhanuka Caldan is your ultimate defense for ensuring a healthy, green, and high-yielding harvest!
โจ Why Choose Dhanuka Caldan 50 SP? (Key Benefits)
โ๏ธ Dual-Action Eradication: Operates as both a powerful contact poison and a systemic insecticide. It enters the plant's sap, killing hidden insects that chew on the stems or leaves.
โก Instant Feeding Cessation: Inspired by a naturally occurring marine toxin (Nereistoxin), it instantly paralyzes the insect's central nervous system. Pests stop feeding immediately and die of starvation.
๐พ The Paddy Specialist: Unbeatably effective against the toughest rice pests, including Yellow Stem Borer, Leaf Folder, and Hispa.
๐ Controls All Life Stages: Highly effective against all stages of insect developmentโfrom eggs to larvae and adults.
๐ Environment & IPM Friendly: Highly safe for beneficial insects like spiders, wasps, and honeybees, making it a perfect fit for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.

๐ก Pro-Tips for Best Results:
Perfect Pre-Mixing: Because it is a Soluble Powder (SP), dissolve the required dose in a small bucket of water first. Stir it well to create a uniform suspension before adding it to your main spray tank.
Timing is Everything: For Paddy Stem Borers, apply Caldan at the very first sign of "dead hearts" or when the pest is in the early larval stage before it bores deep into the stem.
Ensure Complete Drenching: For pests like the Leaf Folder, spray with an adequate water volume (150-200 Liters per acre) to ensure the chemical penetrates the folded leaves.
โ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How does Dhanuka Caldan kill the insects?
A: The active ingredient, Cartap Hydrochloride, blocks the nerve transmissions of the insect. The moment the pest eats the treated leaf, its mouthparts and body become completely paralyzed. It stops destroying your crop immediately and dies within a few days from starvation.
Q2: Is Caldan safe to use with fungicides?
A: Yes, it is highly compatible with most commonly used fungicides, plant tonics, and fertilizers. However, do not mix it with highly alkaline substances (like Bordeaux mixture).
Q3: How soon does it become rainfast?
A: Because it is highly systemic, it absorbs into the plant's vascular system very quickly. If there is no rain for 2 to 3 hours after application, the chemical is safely inside the plant and will not wash away.
Q4: Will it kill sucking pests like whiteflies?
A: While it has some effect on sucking pests, Caldan is primarily a specialist for chewing and biting insects (caterpillars, borers, leaf folders, and beetles).
Q5: Is it safe for the applicator and the environment?
A: Yes, Cartap Hydrochloride is an analogue of a naturally occurring toxin found in marine worms. It is considered one of the safer insecticides for applicators, mammals, and beneficial farm insects when used at the recommended dosage.
