An emulsifiable concentrate systemic and contact insecticide for the control of insects as indicated. DIMETHOATE 400 EC will assist in controlling Codling moth in apples and pears and non-organophosphate resistant Mealybugs in grape vines.

Cereals
  • DIMETHOATE 400 EC is an organophosphate, IRAC group code 1B insecticide containing dimethoate.
  • DIMETHOATE 400 EC functions by interfering with cholinesterase, an enzyme essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system of insects.
  • Systemic insecticide that acts on the central nervous system of insects through both contact and ingestion (stomach).
  • Broad-spectrum insecticide.
  • Fast-acting knockdown insecticide, that is a good candidate for use in an IPM system.
  • Unlike organochlorine pesticides, organophosphorus insecticides, such as dimethoate, do not persist in the
    environment.
  • Absorbed and translocated within the plant in sufficient concentrations to kill insects that feed on the plant.
  • Controls a large number of different aphids.
  • Apply at first signs of infestation when few ladybird beetles and other predators are present.
  • Optimal results obtained if applied when the crops are actively growing.
  • Integrate other control methods (chemical, cultural and biological) into insect control programme to limit resistance development.
  • A minimum of 30 ℓ/ha water is required for aerial applications to avoid phytotoxicity.
  • Compatible with other registered Villa Crop Protection products.
  • Do not apply if undersown with other crops.
