Dimethoate 30% EC is a broad-spectrum systemic organophosphate insecticide and acaricide that controls a wide range of sucking pests, leaf miners, and mites across multiple crops. It is one of the few insecticides that works as both an insecticide and an acaricide — making it uniquely effective where pest and mite infestations occur simultaneously.
Krishikranti Defender-30 Dimethoate 30% EC is trusted by farmers across India for reliable control of aphids, jassids, thrips, whitefly, spider mites, and leaf miners in cotton, vegetables, fruits, and cereals — with the added advantage of systemic action that protects crops from the inside out.
Unlike contact-only insecticides, Dimethoate is absorbed by the plant and translocated through its tissues — reaching pests that hide on the underside of leaves, inside curled leaves, or in plant tissue where sprays cannot reach directly.
Dimethoate belongs to the organophosphate class of insecticides. It works by inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme in the pest's nervous system — causing nerve signal disruption, paralysis, and death. It operates through three simultaneous modes:
| Mode | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Systemic Action | Absorbed by roots and leaves, translocated through entire plant — kills pests feeding anywhere on the plant | Hidden pests, leaf miners, undersurface feeders |
| Contact Action | Kills pests immediately on direct contact with spray — fast knockdown of active pest populations | Aphids, mites, whitefly on leaf surface |
| Stomach Action | AChE inhibition after pests feed on treated plant tissue — causes paralysis and death | Chewing, sucking, and boring pests |
The systemic action of Dimethoate 30% EC is its biggest advantage — it moves inside the plant and stays active for 10–15 days after a single spray, protecting new growth that emerges after application.

⚠️ Important Safety Information: Toxic to fish and aquatic organisms — do not spray near water bodies. Toxic to bees — avoid spraying during flowering stage. Do not mix with alkaline compounds or copper-based fungicides. Observe pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 7–10 days for vegetables and fruits and 14–21 days for field crops. Wear gloves, mask, goggles, and full-sleeve clothing during application. Wash hands and clothes thoroughly after spraying. Store in a cool, dry place away from food, water, and livestock. Keep out of reach of children.
Dimethoate 30% EC is used to control aphids, jassids, thrips, whitefly, spider mites, leaf miners, mealybugs, hoppers, stem borers, and bollworms in cotton, vegetables, fruits, paddy, cereals, oilseeds, and plantation crops. It acts as both an insecticide and an acaricide making it effective against both insects and mites.
The recommended dose is 1.5 to 2 ml per litre of water. Per acre, use 150 to 400 ml in 200 to 250 litres of water depending on crop type and pest pressure.

Yes. Dimethoate is one of the most effective systemic insecticides for aphid control across all crops. Systemic action ensures the molecule reaches aphids hiding inside curled leaves and on new growth that direct sprays cannot reach. Apply 1.5 to 2 ml per litre at first sign of aphid infestation.
Yes. Dimethoate is an acaricide as well as an insecticide — it controls spider mites, red mites, and yellow mites in cotton, vegetables, and fruits. This makes it the preferred choice when both mite and insect infestations occur together on the same crop.
Contact action begins within hours of spraying — visible pest knockdown seen within 4 to 6 hours. Systemic action builds up inside the plant within 24 to 48 hours and provides residual protection for 10 to 15 days.
Yes. The systemic action of Dimethoate 30% EC is particularly effective against leaf miners. The molecule is absorbed by the leaf and kills larvae mining inside the leaf tissue — something contact-only insecticides cannot achieve.
The pre-harvest interval is 7 to 10 days for vegetables and fruits and 14 to 21 days for field crops like cotton, paddy, and wheat. Do not spray within this period before harvesting the crop.
