Active chemical profile and systemic action mechanism
- Active ingredient: Dimethoate 30% EC (emulsifiable concentrate, organophosphate class, IRAC Group 1B).
- Mode of action: Inhibits the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme, causing acetylcholine buildup that paralyzes the insect nervous system.
- Systemic absorption: Rapidly absorbed through plant foliage, stems, and root systems, moving systemically through plant sap streams.
- Protection of new growth: Circulating sap protects newly unfolding leaves and shoots that emerge after spray application.
Target insect pests and broad crop spectrum
- Cotton: Controls aphids, jassids, thrips, and whiteflies during early to mid-crop stages.
- Chilli and Vegetables: Highly effective against chilli thrips, aphids, mites, and leaf miners in tomato, brinjal, and okra.
- Pulses and Oilseeds: Manages pod borers, aphids, and painted bugs in mustard, gram, and pigeon pea.
- Fruit crops: Controls fruit flies, scale insects, and mealybugs in mango, citrus, guava, and grapes.
- Field crops: Protects wheat against aphid outbreaks during reproductive flag-leaf stages.
Spraying protocol, equipment, and safety precautions
- Spraying method: Apply thoroughly using 150 to 200 litres of water per acre with a knapsack or tractor-mounted sprayer.
- Pollinator precaution: Dimethoate is toxic to honeybees; avoid spraying during active daytime pollinator visitation.
- Safety gear: Wear rubber gloves, protective goggles, and a face mask during solution preparation and spraying.
- Pre-harvest interval: Adhere strictly to the CIB&RC approved waiting period (typically 14 to 21 days depending on the crop) before harvest.

Common questions
What is the active chemical in Rogor pesticide?
Rogor contains Dimethoate 30% EC, a systemic organophosphate insecticide and acaricide.
Which insect pests are controlled by Rogor?
It controls sucking pests including aphids, thrips, jassids, whiteflies, mites, and leaf miners across diverse crops.
How does Rogor protect new plant growth?
Because it is systemic, it translocates through plant sap, protecting new shoots and foliage emerging after spraying.
Is Rogor safe to spray during flowering?
No, avoid spraying during peak flowering as Dimethoate is toxic to honeybees and other pollinators.
