Dimethoate 400G/L EC Wholesale

Dimethoate is an organophosphate pesticide. It is easily absorbed by plants and can be transported throughout the entire plant. It remains stable in acidic solutions but hydrolyzes quickly in alkaline solutions. Therefore, it should not be mixed with alkaline pesticides. Dimethoate has both systemic and contact effects on pests. Its toxicity increases with rising temperatures. Inside pests, it can be oxidized to a more toxic form, omethoate, which enhances its effectiveness. Lethal is mainly used to control aphids and spider mites on cotton, vegetables, and fruits. Its residual effect typically lasts 4 to 5 days. For piercing-sucking pests and herbivorous mites, the residual effect can last up to about 7 days.

Application

Dimethoate is primarily used as an agricultural insecticide and acaricide. It is a systemic organophosphate pesticide with a broad spectrum of activity. It has strong contact effects and some stomach toxicity against pests, especially mites. Once inside the pest, it can be oxidized to a more toxic form, omethoate

Its main targets include cotton leafhoppers, cotton aphids, cotton red spiders, rice planthoppers, rice thrips, rice stem borers, wheat leaf miners, cucumber beetles, vegetable aphids, peach fruit borers, apple fruit borers, pear psyllids, hawthorn spider mites, citrus spider mites, citrus rust mites, citrus scale insects, sweet potato weevils, sweet potato leaf miners, sorghum aphids, tobacco aphids, tobacco cutworms, and mole crickets.

Additionally, Lethal can be applied as a residual spray on farm building walls to control house flies. Its insecticidal action is relatively slow, but its residual effect can last up to 8 weeks. The pure product can also be used for surface spraying, intramuscular injection, or oral administration to control dipteran parasites in livestock.

However, it may cause phytotoxicity in certain varieties of crops such as walnuts, pines, peaches, jujubes, apricots, plums, citrus fruits, lemons, hops, tomatoes, cotton, sorghum, green beans, and tobacco. Using it on certain apple varieties and flowers may result in rust spots.
