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.
