Nidan Insecticide – Cartap Hydrochloride 4% GR for Paddy Pests

Nidan Insecticide by Crystal Crop Protection is a powerful granular formulation containing Cartap Hydrochloride 4% GR. Belonging to the Nereistoxin analogue group, it controls stubborn pests like stem borers, leaf folders, and whorl maggots in rice fields through contact, stomach, and systemic action.

Once applied to standing water or soil, Nidan is absorbed by plant roots and ingested by pests during feeding. It disrupts their nervous system, causing paralysis and death, offering longer-lasting control even after application.

Ideal for Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Nidan is safe for the environment and has minimal impact on non-target organisms. It is easy to apply, residue-free, and suitable for sustainable rice farming.
