Active technical content and organophosphate mode of action
Rogor contains Dimethoate, belonging to the organophosphorus chemical class (IRAC Group 1B).
Key technical properties:
- Active ingredient: Dimethoate 30% Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC).
- Cholinesterase inhibition: Inhibits acetylcholinesterase enzymes at insect synapses, causing uncontrolled nerve firings, paralysis, and death.
- Systemic vascular translocation: Rapidly absorbed through leaves and roots and translocated acropetally, protecting newly unfolding leaves.
- Translaminar penetration: Penetrates across leaf tissues to suppress hidden sucking pests feeding on lower leaf surfaces.
- Dual insecticidal and miticidal control: Delivers concurrent suppression of phytophagous mites alongside sap-feeding insect populations.
Target insect pests and registered crop applications
Rogor is approved by the Central Insecticides Board for diverse agricultural cropping systems:
Primary target spectrum:
- Cotton and Pulses: Aphids, jassids, thrips, and whitefly nymphs.
- Vegetables (Chilli, Tomato, Brinjal, Okra): Aphids, thrips, leafhoppers, and mites.
- Mustard and Rapeseed: Mustard aphid (Lipaphis erysimi) during early flowering.
- Fruit Orchards (Mango, Citrus): Leafhoppers, psyllids, and fruit flies.
- Paddy (Rice): Green leafhopper and stem borer suppression.
Application guidance, dosage and safety measures
Apply Rogor at approved CIBRC label rates (typically 1.5 to 2 ml per litre of water or 300 to 400 ml per acre in 200 litres of clean water) at early pest emergence. Avoid spraying during crop full bloom to protect pollinating bees. Spray operators must wear rubber gloves, goggles, and face masks, avoid inhaling spray mist, and observe recommended pre-harvest waiting periods.

Common questions
What is the active technical ingredient in Rogor insecticide?
Rogor contains Dimethoate 30% EC, an organophosphate insecticide and acaricide.
Which insect pests does Rogor primarily target?
It targets piercing-sucking insect pests such as aphids, jassids, thrips, whiteflies, and mites.
Why is Rogor avoided during peak flowering?
Dimethoate is toxic to pollinating honeybees; spraying should be avoided during peak flowering to protect beneficial pollinators.
