Description

What is DEEAAM (Dimethoate 40% EC)?

DEEAAM is a systemic broad-spectrum insecticide designed to protect a wide variety of crops. Its active ingredient, Dimethoate, belongs to the organophosphate class of chemicals. It is highly effective against a wide range of insect pests, including aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and various other harmful pests. The product is known for its strong systemic action, making it highly efficient at controlling insect pests that can damage crops. Whether you’re farming cotton, tobacco, sugarcane, vegetables, or orchards, DEEAAM ensures your crops are protected from a wide array of pests.

Key Benefits

• Broad-Spectrum Protection: Targets a wide range of pests affecting various crops.
• Systemic Action: Dimethoate is absorbed by plants, providing long-lasting control.
• Ideal for Multiple Crops: Effective in cotton, tobacco, sugarcane, vegetables, and orchards.
• Fast-Acting: Quick pest knockdown for better crop protection.
• Cost-Effective: A reliable solution for pest control that helps improve yield quality.

How It Works

Dimethoate works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in pests. This action affects the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death. The systemic nature of the product means that it is absorbed by the plant, offering internal protection and extending pest control throughout the crop. This dual action, both as a contact and systemic insecticide, ensures pests are effectively controlled, even those that might be hiding deep inside plant tissues.
