Caldan 4G is a granular insecticide belonging to the Nereistoxin analogue group, designed for powerful control of hidden and visible pests. It offers systemic, contact, and stomach action, making it highly effective against key rice pests.
Mode of Action
Caldan blocks neurotransmission by binding to receptors in the insect’s nervous system, ultimately leading to paralysis and death. Its systemic properties allow it to move within the plant for internal protection.
