Maher Dimethoate (40% EC)
Mechanism of action:
Dimethoate acts through inhibiting cholinesterase enzyme in the nervous system of animals. Acetylcholine acts as a neurotransmitter in the inter-synaptic space and stimulates the next axon. In the body of the insect, dimethoate causes accumulation in the synapse, and as a consequence, the stimulation of the next nerve continues continuously, because the cholinesterase enzyme necessary for the decomposition of acetylcholine in the inter-synaptic space and the elimination of this continuous stimulation has been blocked by dimethoate's poison.
Indications:
Dimethoate is a systemic insecticide with contact and digestive effects that is absorbed by the tissue of the leaves and the aerial parts of the plants, transferred to all parts of the plant through sap current, and destroys the pests that feed on the various parts of the plant. Dimethoate can be used against a wide range of pests such as aphids, scale insect, diptera, butterflies, beetles and ticks in products such as cereals, cotton, grapes, sugar beet, cotton, coffee, potatoes, tobacco, vegetables, grass, tea, olive, fruit trees and citrus fruits. It is recommended to use dimethoate, one liter per hectare, to control various types of aphids, thrips, scale insect and cicadas in the products such as wheat and barley, sugar beet, cotton, potatoes, soybeans, alfalfa, and clover. It is also used to control scale insect in fruit and citrus trees at a rate of one liter per thousand liters of water.
The minimum interval between the last spraying and the harvest (currency period) is 14 to 21 days.
Compatibility and Mixability:
Except for some of the varieties of lemon, peach, fig, olive, tomatoes, beans and cotton that are sensitive to dimethoate, there is no plant scorching, if dimethoate is used according to the recommendations. Dimethoate also makes blight on the red and golden delicious apple varieties and ornamental plants. It is also compatible with most common insecticides and common acaricides.
