Rogohit - Dimethoate 30% EC - HPM

HPM Rogohit Dimethoate 30% EC Insecticide & Acaricide

HPM Rogohit contains Dimethoate 30% EC, a systemic organophosphate insecticide and acaricide with contact and stomach action. HPM lists it for the management of specified aphids, thrips, jassids, mites and selected borers on label-approved crops.

Dimethoate is classified in IRAC Group 1B as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Use Rogohit only on crops and pests stated on the current container label. India prohibits dimethoate use on fruits and vegetables that are consumed raw; this restriction must be followed even where older literature lists those crops.

Key Features

• Systemic movement: Absorbed by plant tissue to reach certain sap-feeding pests.
• Multiple exposure routes: Provides contact and stomach action when used according to the label.
• Broad label spectrum: HPM lists uses against sucking pests, mites and selected borers across several field crops.
• Resistance classification: IRAC Group 1B supports planned rotation with effective products from a different mode-of-action group.
• EC formulation: Emulsifiable concentrate designed for dilution and foliar application at the stated label rate.

Technical Specifications

How Rogohit Works

Dimethoate inhibits acetylcholinesterase in susceptible pests, disrupting normal nerve transmission. Its systemic, contact and stomach activity helps manage pests feeding on treated plants. Because repeated applications of Group 1B insecticides can select resistant populations, do not rely on Rogohit for every spray. Rotate with a suitable, label-approved insecticide from a different IRAC group and integrate non-chemical pest-management practices.

Selected HPM Label Recommendations

The table reproduces selected recommendations on HPM’s Rogohit page. Always prioritise the current pack label. Do not use dimethoate on fruits or vegetables intended to be consumed raw, in accordance with the Government of India restriction.

Application and Safety Guidance

• Identify the crop and pest accurately before spraying and use only the corresponding label rate.
• Measure the concentrate with dedicated equipment; never use household utensils.
• Part-fill the spray tank with clean water, add the measured product, agitate and top up to the required volume.
• Apply with calibrated equipment for uniform coverage and avoid drift, runoff and contamination of water bodies.
• Wear the PPE stated on the label. Avoid inhalation, skin contact, eating, drinking or smoking during handling.
• Do not enter the treated area until the label re-entry period has elapsed. Keep people and animals away during application.
• Observe the Government of India prohibition on dimethoate use in fruits and vegetables consumed raw.
