The Ultimate Solution for Stem Borers and Leaf Folders in Paddy.
Dollar 50 SP by HPM Chemicals is a powerful, systemic insecticide designed to protect your crops from tough chewing pests. Powered by Cartap Hydrochloride, it works differently than standard poisons. It is inspired by the natural marine toxin "Nereistoxin," making it highly effective against pests that have developed resistance to other chemicals.
Best For: Farmers dealing with Yellow Stem Borer and Leaf Folder in Rice (Paddy), as well as borers in vegetables.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

- ⏳Controls Resistant Pests: Excellent for controlling insects that have become immune to Organophosphates and Organochlorines. It is a vital tool for resistance management.
- ?️Rainfastness: The formulation is absorbed quickly. It remains effective even if it rains 3-4 hours after spraying.

How It Works: Mode of Action
[Image of Cartap Hydrochloride mode of action diagram]Dollar 50 SP attacks the insect's central nervous system with a unique mechanism derived from marine toxins.
- Systemic Absorption: After spraying, the plant absorbs the chemical through leaves and roots, making the plant tissue itself toxic to pests.
- Nerve Blockade: When the pest eats the plant, the chemical blocks the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors (nAChR) in their nerves.
- Starvation Effect: This blockage paralyzes the insect's mouthparts. They stop eating immediately and die of starvation shortly after.
Note: Because it stops feeding, crop damage ends instantly, even if the insect takes a little time to die.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 400 g | 200 L | 2 g/L | 21 Days |
| Vegetables | 400 g | 200 L | 2 g/L | 15-21 Days |
| Sugarcane | 400 - 600 g | 200 - 300 L | 2 g/L | 21+ Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Water volume may vary based on sprayer type (knapsack vs boom sprayer).
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply as soon as you see the first signs of damage (e.g., 5% Dead Hearts in rice or 1-2 folded leaves). Early application prevents white ears.
- Mixing: The powder is completely water-soluble. Mix the required quantity in a small amount of water first to make a solution, then add to the main tank.
- Coverage: Use a fine mist spray. Ensure thorough coverage so the plant absorbs the chemical effectively for systemic action.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Dollar 50 SP is toxic if inhaled or swallowed. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Dollar 50 SP kill insects immediately?
It stops them from feeding instantly, so crop damage stops right away. However, the insect may remain alive but paralyzed for a few hours before dying of starvation.
2. Is this product safe for fish?
No. Cartap Hydrochloride is highly toxic to fish. Do not use Dollar 50 SP in paddy fields where you are also farming fish (paddy-cum-fish culture).
3. Can I use it on Cotton or Apples?
Exercise caution. Cartap can be phytotoxic (harmful) to sensitive crops like Cotton, Tobacco, and Apples. Avoid spray drift onto these crops.
4. Why is it called a "Systemic" insecticide?
Because it enters the plant's system (sap). Even if a Stem Borer is hiding inside the stem where spray can't reach, it will die when it eats the treated plant tissue.
5. What is the shelf life of Dollar 50 SP?
It is stable for 2 years if stored in a cool, dry place. Keep the packet sealed as moisture can spoil the powder.
