Dominant - Dinotefuran 20% SG - Insecticides (India) Ltd

IIL Dominant Insecticide Overview

Dominant from Insecticides (India) Limited contains Dinotefuran 20% SG. This neonicotinoid insecticide moves systemically through treated plants and also provides translaminar coverage, helping control labelled sucking pests when applied at the correct threshold.

Use note: Registered crop–pest uses in this listing are paddy brown planthopper and cotton whitefly, jassids, aphids and thrips. Do not extend the use to other crops or pests. Follow the current pack label when it differs.

Key Product Benefits

• Rapid feeding suppression: Manufacturer information describes quick stopping of feeding and crop damage.
• Systemic movement: Uptake through plant tissue helps reach susceptible sucking pests.
• Translaminar coverage: Movement across the leaf assists coverage of pests on the opposite surface.
• Two focused registrations: Paddy BPH and the listed cotton sucking-pest complex.
• Store options: 100 g, 250 g and 500 g variants.

Technical Specifications

How Dominant Works

Dinotefuran acts on insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, disrupting nerve transmission. Susceptible pests stop feeding and die after contact with or ingestion of treated plant material. Because it belongs to IRAC Group 4A, repeated treatments from the same group should be avoided across successive pest generations.

Application Guide

• Apply as a calibrated foliar spray when monitoring shows the labelled pest has reached the treatment threshold.
• Premix the measured granules in water, add to the partly filled tank and maintain uniform agitation.
• Cover the crop canopy evenly, including lower plant portions where planthoppers or sucking pests are present.
• Rotate with an effective insecticide from a different IRAC group and observe the crop-specific PHI.

Safety and Stewardship

• Wear the protective equipment and follow the re-entry direction printed on the current label.
• Avoid spray during active bee foraging and prevent drift onto flowering weeds or adjacent crops.
• Keep spray, runoff and wash water away from ponds, waterways and aquaculture.
• Do not mix with another input unless the current labels permit it and compatibility is confirmed.
