- Dimethoate is an effective and well-known insecticide from the organophosphate group that has been used in Iran and the world for more than half a century and is used to control a wide range of sucking and chewing pests. This insecticide is produced and supplied as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) with a typical concentration of 40% and is known under various trade names such as Rugor and Rexion.
- Dimethoate works by inhibiting the enzyme cholinesterase in the insect nervous system. Under normal conditions, acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that, after transmitting a message in the synaptic space, is broken down by the enzyme cholinesterase to interrupt the nerve signal.
- By inhibiting this enzyme, dimethoate causes excessive accumulation of acetylcholine and continuous stimulation of the postsynaptic nerve fiber, which leads to hyperexcitation, paralysis and ultimately death of the pest.
- Dimethoate is a systemic and contact-digestive effect, after spraying, dimethoate is absorbed through the leaves and aerial organs and is transferred throughout the plant structure to the sap flow.
- This poison is used to control a variety of aphids, thrips, whiteflies, thrips, mites, butterflies, beetles and many other pests in various crops including cereals, cotton, potatoes, tobacco, grapes, citrus fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants. In particular, dimethoate is very effective in controlling green and poisonous aphids of cereals and cotton, thrips of cold-hardy fruit trees, melon and honeydew flies and other sucking pests.
- Rapid impact with systemic absorption and transport throughout the plant Broad spectrum control of sucking and chewing pests Long-term protection (about two weeks) of plants against pests Compatible with many integrated pest management (IPM) programs Reduces the need for multiple sprayings
