Dimethoate 400g/L EC is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) insecticide containing dimethoate as the active ingredient. Here is its product introduction:
• Active Ingredient: Dimethoate (400g/L), an organophosphate insecticide with systemic, contact, and stomach actions.
• Mechanism of Action: Inhibits acetylcholinesterase in insects, blocking nerve impulse transmission. This leads to accumulation of acetylcholine, overstimulation of the nervous system, and eventual pest death.
• Product Features: Broad-spectrum activity against sucking and chewing pests. The emulsifiable concentrate formulation mixes easily with water, penetrates plant tissues (due to systemic properties), and provides residual efficacy. Suitable for various crops.
• Target Pests: Controls aphids, leafhoppers, thrips, whiteflies, mites, caterpillars, and beetles. Effective against both above-ground and some soil-dwelling pests.
• Applicable Crops: Suitable for fruits (apples, citrus), vegetables (tomatoes, cabbages), cereals (wheat, corn), cotton, oilseeds, and ornamental plants.
• Application Methods: Applied via foliar spraying. Dilute with water according to crop and pest type; ensure thorough coverage of foliage, including undersides.
• Precautions: Toxic to bees, fish, and aquatic organisms. Avoid flowering periods and water sources. Wear protective gear during handling. Do not mix with alkaline substances. Follow local regulations for storage and disposal.
