POMAIS Dimethoate 40% EC contains 40% pure dimethoate as the active ingredient, presented in the form of an emulsifiable concentrate (EC). This formulation is well-known for its rapid dispersion in water, excellent leaf adhesion, and high biological activity after application. Dimethoate itself is a classical organophosphorus insecticide with the chemical name O,O-dimethyl-S-(N-methylcarbamoylmethyl) phosphorodithioate, and its CAS number is 60-51-5.
One of the key technical benefits of this compound is its systemic mobility within plants. Once absorbed through the leaves or roots, it moves internally to protect new growth—making it especially effective for persistent pests that attack the underside of leaves or plant stems. It also exhibits contact and stomach poisoning, making it highly lethal to both mobile and sedentary insects.
To suit different regulatory and market preferences, POMAIS supports the following formulations:
Dimethoate 30% EC
Dimethoate 400 g/L EC
Dimethoate-based mixtures, including:
Fenvalerate 0.8% + Dimethoate 39.2% EC
Dimethoate 15% + Triazophos 10% EC
Envalerate 3.2% + Dimethoate 21.8% EC
All formulations can be provided with customized labels, varied solvent systems, and tailored packaging sizes for OEM and branded distribution.
Dimethoate acts as a systemic, contact, and stomach insecticide that is highly effective against a wide range of sucking and piercing pests. After application, it is absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout the tissues, including new leaves and shoots. This internal movement ensures that even pests feeding in concealed areas or under leaf surfaces are exposed to the active ingredient.
The key biochemical mechanism of Dimethoate involves inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE)—an enzyme essential for nerve impulse transmission in insects. When this enzyme is blocked, the nervous system becomes overstimulated, leading to paralysis and eventual death of the target pest.
Aphids: Especially problematic in cotton, tobacco, and vegetable crops
Mites: Effective against both red spider mites and yellow mites in cotton
Leafhoppers: Common in rice, causing hopper burn and virus transmission
Planthoppers: Brown and white-backed types in rice
Rice stem borers (Chilo suppressalis): Controls larvae feeding inside stalks
Tobacco worms: Targets larvae feeding on tobacco leaves
The combination of fast knockdown and systemic reach makes Dimethoate 40% EC highly suitable for integrated pest management programs, especially in regions where pest resistance to pyrethroids is rising.
Suitable crops:
POMAIS Dimethoate 40% EC is designed for use across a wide range of field and economic crops, particularly where sucking insects pose a serious threat to yield and quality. It is widely applied by commercial growers and crop protection programs due to its strong adaptability, broad-spectrum action, and cost-effective dosage rates.
Below is a detailed reference chart for recommended applications:
Crop | Target Pest(s) | Dosage | Application Method |
---|---|---|---|
Cotton | Aphids, Mites | 1125–1500 ml/ha | Foliar Spray |
Rice | Planthoppers, Leafhoppers, Chilo suppressalis | 1125–1500 ml/ha | Foliar Spray |
Tobacco | Aphids, Tobacco Worms | 750–1500 ml/ha | Foliar Spray |
Dilution volume: Use 300–600 liters of water per hectare for even canopy coverage.
Spray timing: Apply at early pest appearance or during peak infestation stages for best results.
Re-application: In heavy pest pressure, repeat application every 7 to 10 days.
Mixing: Do not mix with alkaline pesticides or fertilizers, as dimethoate degrades rapidly in high pH environments.
This flexible use pattern allows distributors and dealers to serve multiple crop sectors with a single, effective solution. Whether targeting early-season pest outbreaks in cotton or controlling mid-season hoppers in rice, Dimethoate 40% EC delivers consistent results.
When selecting an insecticide for broad-spectrum and economically significant pest control, POMAIS Dimethoate 40% EC offers a combination of speed, versatility, and reliability that meets the expectations of both government-level buyers and private distributors.
Dimethoate provides both immediate contact knockdown and systemic movement through the plant, enabling comprehensive protection—even for new leaves or hard-to-reach pest sites. This makes it particularly effective for pests like aphids and planthoppers that feed deep within plant tissue.
It covers a wide range of key pests including aphids, mites, hoppers, borers, and worms. This broad spectrum reduces the need for multiple pesticides, simplifying inventory for importers and retailers.
Visible pest suppression typically occurs within 24–48 hours after application. This fast action helps prevent pest outbreaks from escalating and minimizes crop damage.
