Formulated with Clothianidin 50% WG, it belongs to the neonicotinoid group of insecticides and is designed to manage specified sucking insect pests in agricultural crops. Its systemic action allows the active ingredient to move within plant tissues after absorption and act against susceptible insects during feeding.

Chemley recommends Dotsu for specific pest problems in rice, cotton, sugarcane, tea and grapes.

Target Crops and Pests

The crop and pest combinations above are taken from Chemley's published product information. Final application must comply with the applicable registered label for the supplied formulation.

How Does Chemley Dotsu 50 Work?

Dotsu contains Clothianidin, a neonicotinoid insecticide classified under IRAC Group 4A.

Clothianidin acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system. This disrupts normal nerve signal transmission and can result in paralysis and death of susceptible insects.

Its systemic properties allow the active ingredient to move within plants following appropriate application and absorption. Feeding insects may be exposed when they consume treated plant tissue or sap.

Dosage and Application Method

Formulation: Clothianidin 50% WG.

Application: Foliar spray or soil drenching according to the approved crop and target pest.

Important Dosage Verification: The manufacturer's online dosage table uses millilitres even though the product is identified as a water-dispersible granule formulation and marketed by weight. Therefore, the online numerical dosage cannot be reliably reproduced as a confirmed WG application rate.

Use the crop-specific dose, dilution and maximum application frequency stated on the original registered product leaflet. Do not convert the manufacturer's online millilitre figures into grams without confirmation.

Application Guidance

1. Identify the target pest and confirm that the intended crop and pest are included on the approved label.
2. Monitor the field and apply only when treatment is justified by pest infestation or local advisory thresholds.
3. Measure the exact label-recommended quantity using suitable weighing equipment.
4. Prepare the mixture using clean water and follow the recommended mixing procedure.
5. Apply uniformly using a properly calibrated sprayer or approved soil-drenching method.
6. Avoid application during strong winds, expected rainfall or other unsuitable weather conditions.
7. Observe the product's re-entry interval, pre-harvest interval and maximum permitted applications.

Resistance Management

Clothianidin belongs to IRAC Group 4A. Repeated use of insecticides with the same mode of action may increase the risk of insect resistance. Rotate with insecticides from different effective mode-of-action groups, follow local pest management recommendations and avoid unnecessary repeated applications.

Safety Precautions

• Use only on crops and pests approved on the registered product label.
• Wear protective gloves, suitable clothing and eye protection during mixing and application.
• Avoid inhaling dust or spray mist and prevent contact with skin and eyes.
• Keep applications away from flowering plants visited by bees and other pollinators, following label restrictions.
• Prevent spray drift and runoff into ponds, streams and other water bodies.
• Do not mix with other products unless compatibility and label permission are established.
• Store in the original sealed container away from food, feed, children and animals.
