FMC Rogor Insecticide (Dimethoate 30% EC)
⚠️ REGULATORY ALERT: Banned on Fruits & Vegetables (Gazette S.O. 4294(E) 2023).
[Image of FMC Rogor Insecticide bottle]Rogor (Dimethoate) is a classic systemic insecticide that has been used for decades to control sucking pests like Aphids and Mites. It is famous for its distinct "garlic-like" smell and its ability to enter the plant system to kill hidden pests. However, due to high toxicity, the Government of India has recently restricted its use. It is now primarily recommended for non-edible crops like Cotton and Ornamentals.
Best For: Cotton (Aphids/Jassids), Maize (Stem Borer), and Roses (Scales/Mites).
⛔ STRICTLY BANNED ON VEGETABLES (Tomato, Brinjal, Chilli, etc.).
Why Was This Product Popular? Key Features
- ?Systemic Action: It is absorbed by the leaves and roots, traveling throughout the plant. Any insect that sucks the sap dies.
- ?️Controls Mites (Acaricide): Unlike many insecticides, Rogor is also effective against Red Spider Mites and other mites.
- ?️Hard Scale Control: Because it works from the inside out, it kills Scale Insects (which have a hard wax shell) that surface sprays cannot penetrate.
- ?Economical: It is one of the most affordable options for pest control in fiber crops and flowers.
- ?Strong Repellent Smell: The strong odor acts as a repellent for some pests, driving them away from the crop.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Rogor works by attacking the insect's nervous system:
[Image of acetylcholinesterase inhibition mechanism]- Systemic Absorption: When sprayed, the chemical enters the plant's vascular system (xylem) and spreads to all leaves and stems.
- Ingestion: Sucking pests (like Aphids) feed on the toxic sap.
- Enzyme Blockade: The poison inhibits the enzyme Acetylcholinesterase, causing nerve impulses to fire continuously without stopping.
- Death: The insect suffers tremors, paralysis, and death.
Because it is systemic, it cannot be washed off by rain once absorbed (rainfast in 4-6 hours).

How to Apply: Best Practices
[Image of farmer wearing full PPE kit]- Water Quality: Rogor breaks down quickly in alkaline water (High pH). Add a lemon or acidifier to the water if it is from a borewell.
- Temperature: Do not spray in high heat (>30°C) as the chemical evaporates. Spray in the cool evening.
- Equipment: Use a "Hollow Cone Nozzle" to create a fine mist that penetrates the crop canopy.
- Smell: The product has a strong "rotten garlic" smell. This is normal.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use Rogor on my home vegetable garden?
NO. It is banned on vegetables consumed raw (like Tomato, Cucumber, Chilli) because the poison stays inside the vegetable and can harm your family. Use Neem Oil instead.
2. Does it kill whiteflies?
It provides some control, but many whiteflies are now resistant to Rogor. For better control, use newer medicines like Acetamiprid or Diafenthiuron.
3. What is the price of 1 Liter Rogor?
The price for the original FMC Rogor is around ₹850 - ₹1,300 per liter in Hyderabad. Generic brands (like Tafgor) may be cheaper (₹540 - ₹650).
4. Can I mix it with other pesticides?
It is generally compatible with most acidic fungicides. Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulphur.
5. Is it safe for bees?
No, it is highly toxic to bees. Do not spray when your crop is flowering.
