Product details
Dimitron Insecticide by AgroStar | 333 g
Dimitron is a contact and systemic insecticide for the labelled hopper pests and rice ear-head bug in rice. Its two active ingredients are supplied as water-dispersible granules for foliar spraying. This listing is the 333 g pack.
What it controls: Brown planthopper, white-backed planthopper, green leafhopper and rice ear-head bug in rice.
When to use it: Apply when the pest population reaches the economic threshold level (ETL).
What to include: The measured product and matching water volume for the treatment area, with uniform coverage of the crop.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🎯 Four labelled rice pests: One rice programme covers the three listed hopper pests and rice ear-head bug.
-
🌿 Systemic and contact activity: Combines activity through contact with movement within the treated plant.
-
🍃 Translaminar action: Moves across treated leaf tissue, as described in the product leaflet.
-
🔬 Two modes of action: Dinotefuran and pymetrozine belong to different IRAC groups; both remain relevant when planning resistance management.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Dimitron combines dinotefuran and pymetrozine rather than using dinotefuran alone. Its WG formulation disperses in water for spray application.
-
Contact and plant movement: The leaflet describes contact, systemic and translaminar activity. Apply evenly rather than relying on movement within the plant to correct missed areas.
-
Dinotefuran: IRAC 4A: Acts on insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, disrupting normal nerve signalling.
-
Pymetrozine: IRAC 9B: Acts at chordotonal-organ TRPV channels, a different insect target from dinotefuran.
Use the IRAC group numbers when planning resistance management with your agronomist. A change of brand is not necessarily a change of mode of action, and a combination is not a guarantee against resistance.

Apply as a foliar spray when the pest population reaches the economic threshold level. The rice rate covers the four pests in the target table; do not transfer it to another crop or pest.
Acre values are approximate conversions of the original hectare programme, which remains shown above. Measure product in grams, not millilitres. Pack weight is not a tank dose.
PHI means the time from the last application to harvest: allow 24 days for rice. Follow the supplied label for worker entry and any repeat treatment; do not assume immediate entry or a fixed repeat schedule.
Use the area-based product and water quantities together. Do not turn them into a universal per-litre or per-pump recipe, or substitute the dose of a single-active dinotefuran product.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm crop and pest: Use only for the labelled rice pests listed above. Identify the pest and check its economic threshold before deciding to spray.
-
Measure the field: Select the product and water quantities for the actual treatment area using the original hectare programme or its approximate acre equivalent.
-
Prepare the spray: Follow the supplied pack directions to prepare the measured WG product in water. Use suitable mixing equipment and keep hands out of the spray mixture.
-
Cover the crop evenly: Apply as a foliar spray with uniform coverage of the tillers and field. Calibrate equipment to deliver the required spray volume without gaps or excessive overlap.
-
Protect pollinators: This product is toxic to honey bees. Do not spray during their active foraging period; a time-of-day choice does not override visible bee activity.
-
Check any tank mix: Do not assume another pesticide, fertiliser or adjuvant is suitable. Follow the supplied labels and obtain product-specific guidance for the proposed mixture.
-
Keep the harvest interval: Leave 24 days between the last spray and rice harvest. Follow the current label for worker entry, retreatment and any other restrictions.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Dimitron the same as Dyna Shield?
No. Dimitron contains dinotefuran 15% + pymetrozine 45% WG. Dyna Shield contains dinotefuran 20% SG. Their crops, product quantities and directions are not interchangeable.
2. Which rice pests does Dimitron cover?
Its leaflet lists brown planthopper, white-backed planthopper, green leafhopper and rice ear-head bug. Do not extend this programme to leaf folder or other pests.
3. How much product and water does the rice programme use?
The leaflet rate is 333 g product with 500 L water per hectare, approximately 135 g with 202 L per acre. Use these as paired area-based quantities, not as a per-pump recipe.
4. Is the 333 g pack a fixed one-acre or one-tank dose?
No. The 333 g figure is the sale quantity. Measure the area to be treated and use the matching product and water quantities. Do not use the entire pack merely because it is one package.
5. When can rice be harvested after spraying?
Keep 24 days between the last application and rice harvest. This is a harvest interval, not a worker-entry interval. Use the supplied label for entry and repeat-treatment directions.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current supplied pack label and leaflet. Match the crop, target, formulation, product rate, water, method, timing, harvest interval and all restrictions. Use only as directed for agricultural use. This overview does not replace the supplied label or authenticate an individual pack.

Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew while handling. Wash exposed skin and clean contaminated clothing after use. Keep children, animals and unprotected people away.
Dimitron is toxic to honey bees and presents a risk to aquatic organisms. Avoid spraying during active bee foraging and prevent spray drift, spills and washings from entering ponds, drains or other water sources. Keep the original container tightly closed in a cool, dry, ventilated, locked place, separate from food, animal feed and their containers.
Do not reuse empty packaging. Dispose of unused product, washings and containers according to the current label and local authorised requirements without polluting soil or water. If exposure or illness occurs, stop work, seek urgent medical help and show the container, label or safety data sheet. Do not induce vomiting.
