It acts as both an insecticide and an acaricide making it effective against both insects and mites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1em; font-weight: bold; margin: 10px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ2: What is the dose of Dimethoate 30% EC per litre?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended dose is 1.5 to 2 ml per litre of water.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1em; font-weight: bold; margin: 10px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ5: Can Dimethoate 30% EC control spider mites?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1em; font-weight: bold; margin: 10px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ6: How fast does Dimethoate 30% EC show results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContact 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1em; font-weight: bold; margin: 10px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ7: Is Dimethoate 30% EC effective for leaf miner control?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1em; font-weight: bold; margin: 10px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ8: What is the pre-harvest interval for Dimethoate 30% EC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.
