- ?️Complete Systemic Protection: Moves upward (acropetal) in the plant, protecting new leaves and shoots that grow after spraying.
- ⏳Reach Hidden Pests: Excellent translaminar action penetrates the leaf, killing pests hiding on the underside where sprays can't reach.
- ?️Rainfast in 3 Hours: Rapidly absorbed by the plant, making it an ideal choice for the Kharif (Monsoon) season.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Dominant targets the nervous system of the insect.
- Contact & Ingestion: The insect absorbs the chemical by touching the leaf or sucking the sap.
- Nervous Overload: Dinotefuran mimics acetylcholine, binding permanently to nerve receptors and causing continuous excitation.
- Feeding Cessation: The insect gets paralyzed ("Antifeedant effect") and dies shortly after, protecting the crop from further damage.
Note: It is highly effective against pests that have developed resistance to older chemicals like Imidacloprid.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 80 g | 150 - 200 L | 0.4 - 0.5 g | 21 Days (Approx) |
| Cotton | 60 - 80 g | 200 L | 0.3 - 0.4 g | 15 Days |
| Vegetables | 60 - 80 g | 150 - 200 L | 0.4 - 0.5 g | 5 - 7 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Rice, apply at the early tillering stage or when you see 5–10 hoppers per hill. [Image of rice plant growth stages]
- Mixing: The SG granules dissolve instantly. Ensure the solution is well-mixed before spraying.
- Coverage: For BPH in rice, direct the spray nozzle toward the base of the plant (near the water level) for maximum impact.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Avoid spraying during active bee foraging hours (morning/mid-day).
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the main use of Dominant insecticide?
Dominant is primarily used to control sucking pests like Brown Plant Hoppers in rice and Whiteflies/Jassids in cotton and vegetables.
2. Is Dominant effective against BPH in paddy?
Yes, it is considered a benchmark solution. Trials show it significantly reduces BPH populations and increases yield compared to older pesticides.
3. Can I use Dominant during the rainy season?
Yes, Dominant is rainfast within 2-3 hours of application, making it highly suitable for the monsoon (Kharif) season.
4. Can I mix Dominant with other fungicides or insecticides?
It is generally compatible, but avoid mixing it with other Neonicotinoids (like Imidacloprid) to prevent resistance. Always perform a small jar test first.
5. Is it safe for honeybees?
Dinotefuran is toxic to bees if sprayed directly. Do not apply when bees are actively foraging or when the crop is in full bloom.
