Common name Dimethoate 38%

Chemical name Diafenthiuron

manufacturer KENSO corporation (M) SDN BHD

Formulation Emulsion Concentration (EC)

Active ingredient Dimethoate 38.0%

Signal word(caution) warning Poisonous

Hazardous class or colour code Class 2 kuning

Application method
1. Spraying: This is one of the most
common methods of applying insecticides.
Liquid formulations of LOGOR can be
diluted with water and sprayed onto plants,
surfaces, or soil using equipment such as
handheld sprayers, backpack sprayers, or
tractor-mounted sprayers. Spraying
ensures even coverage and effective contact
with the target pests.

2. Dusting: Dust formulations of LOGOR can

be applied by dusting or sprinkling the
insecticide on plant surfaces or into cracks
and crevices where pests are present. This
method is suitable for controlling pests like
ants, cockroaches, and beetles in indoor
and outdoor environments.

3. Granular Application: Granular

formulations of LOGOR can be spread onto
the soil surface using spreaders or by hand.
This method is commonly used for
controlling soil-dwelling pests like grubs,
larvae, and ants. Granules release the
insecticide slowly, providing long-lasting
protection.
 4. Baiting: LOGOR insecticide can be
formulated into bait stations or bait gels to
attract and kill target pests like ants,
cockroaches, and termites. Baiting is
effective for controlling pests in indoor and
outdoor environments while minimizing
exposure to non-target organisms.

5. Seed Treatment: In agricultural settings,

LOGOR insecticide can be applied as a seed
treatment to protect seeds and seedlings
from soil-dwelling pests and insects that
feed on plant tissues. Seed treatments
ensure early protection against pests and
can improve crop establishment and yield.

6. Fogging: For controlling flying insects

like mosquitoes, flies, and moths in indoor
spaces, LOGOR insecticide can be applied
as a fog or aerosol using specialized
equipment called foggers or thermal
foggers. Fogging creates a fine mist of
insecticide particles that penetrate into
hard-to-reach areas and kill flying insects
on contact.

7. Trunk Injection: In certain cases,

especially for controlling pests in trees or
woody plants, LOGOR insecticide can be
injected directly into the trunk or stems
using specialized equipment. Trunk
injection delivers the insecticide directly
into the vascular system of the plant,
providing targeted control of pests like
borers and beetles.

Handling and storage

1. Read the Label: Before using LOGOR
insecticide, carefully read and understand
the product label and safety data sheet
(SDS). Pay attention to instructions
regarding handling, storage, personal
protective equipment (PPE), first aid
measures, and disposal.

2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Wear appropriate PPE when handling
LOGOR insecticide, including long-sleeved
shirts, long pants, chemical-resistant
gloves, goggles or face shield, and a
respirator if required. Follow the PPE
recommendations provided on the product
label.

3. Mixing and Dilution: If LOGOR insecticide

is in concentrate form, dilute it according to
the instructions on the label before
application. Use clean measuring
equipment and mix only the amount
needed for immediate use. Avoid mixing
near water sources or areas where
contamination could occur.

4. Application Equipment: Use properly

calibrated and maintained application
equipment when applying LOGOR
insecticide. Clean equipment thoroughly
after use to prevent cross-contamination
with other pesticides or substances.

5. Storage Conditions: Store LOGOR

insecticide in its original container in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
sunlight, heat sources, open flames, food,
and animal feed. Keep the product out of
reach of children, pets, and unauthorized
persons.

6. Temperature: Check the label for specific

temperature storage requirements. Some
pesticides may degrade or become less
effective if stored at extreme temperatures.

7. Container Integrity: Inspect the

container regularly for signs of damage,
leaks, or deterioration. Replace damaged
containers immediately and transfer the
contents to a new container if necessary.

8. Secure Storage: Store LOGOR insecticide

in a locked storage cabinet or room to
prevent unauthorized access. Follow any
local regulations or recommendations for
storing pesticides safely.

9. Separation from Incompatible

Substances: Keep LOGOR insecticide away
from incompatible substances, including
food, feed, fertilizers, and other pesticides.
Store pesticides separately to avoid
accidental mixing or contamination.

10. Emergency Preparedness: Be prepared

to respond to spills, leaks, or accidents
involving LOGOR insecticide. Have spill kits,
absorbent materials, and personal
protective equipment readily available.
Follow the spill cleanup procedures
outlined on the product label and SDS.

11. Disposal: Dispose of empty containers,

unused product, and rinse water according
to local regulations. Do not reuse empty
containers for storing food or other
materials. Follow the disposal instructions
provided on the product label and SDS.

Discussion

1. Who would you call for questions about pesticide use of safety?

- Department of Agriculture Malaysia (DOA) for regulations and guidelines.

- National Poison Centre for health risks and emergencies.
- Pesticide manufacturers for product-specific information

2. What would you do if a pesticide spill occurred at your business facilities?

If a pesticide spill occurs, call a company or organisation such as Radicare Sdn. Bhd
to clean up, document the incident and dispose of waste properly. To ensure more
safety evacuate people in the surroundings to avoid any injuries and health risks.

3. How should pesticides be stored?

Pesticides need to be kept in a way that both assures security and keeps them from
getting contaminated. To avoid unwanted access, they should be stored in a secured,
secure location with all containers properly labelled with their contents and any
potential hazards. To guarantee correct identification and usage instructions,
pesticides should be stored in their original containers with undamaged labels.

4. What does it mean if a pesticide isa carcinogen? Mutagenic?

When a pesticide is designated as a carcinogen, it indicates that it may cause cancer

in both people and animals. Pesticides that cause cancer have the potential to cause
unchecked cell proliferation and tumour development after extended or substantial
exposure. On the other side, a pesticide can result in genetic alterations if it is
mutagenic. Mutations in DNA can result in cancer or genetic diseases. If reproductive
cells are affected, these genetic changes may have an influence not only on the
individual exposed but also on their progeny. Comprehending these classifications is
essential for securely handling and utilising pesticides, as it emphasises the
significance of adhering to advised safety precautions to reduce health
hazards.Always refer to the product label and safety data sheets for specific hazards
and guidance on safe handling practices.
Conclusion
This experiment helped introduce a variety of pesticides as well as the important
information included on labels. Safe ways of handling, mixing, applying, and disposing were
taught to the students. Knowing these agrochemical labels helps to use pesticides
responsibly and get better results for their health and the environment by ensuring safety,
preventing overuse, and preparing them for emergencies.

pesticides for different surface shapes and metric conversions. Using mathematical
formulas and commercial application rates, students accurately determined the amounts of
pesticides needed and emphasised the importance of accurate calculations for damage
prevention and resource optimisation. The exercise highlighted the need to read labels
carefully and follow directions for safe and effective use of pesticides in agriculture
 Practical 4: Spray calibration

Step A Measuring the spraying unit output (A)

A is the total output from all nozzles in one minute.

A = 0.963 (L/min)

Step B Calculating the area sprayed (B)

i) Measure the swath width 2.97 (m)

ii) Measure the speed of the spraying unit 13.10 (m/min)
iii) Calculate area sprayed:

B = Speed (m/min) x swath width (m)

B = 13.10 (m/min) x 2.97 (m)
2
B = 38.91 (𝑚 /min)

Step C Calculating the spray application rate (C)

C = A (spraying unit output) ÷ B (area sprayed) x 10 000

2
C = 0.963 (L/min)÷ 38.91 (𝑚 /min) x 10 000
C = 247.49 (L/ha)

Step D Calculating the amount of formulated product required per spray tank volume

i) Product label rate = 200 (L/ha )

ii) Tank volume = 16 (L)

D = tank volume ÷ C (spray application rate) x product label rate

D = 16 L ÷ 247.49 L/ha x 200 L/ha
D = 12.93 L of product per spray tank volume
Discussion

The primary objective of Practical 4 was to introduce students like us to the calibration of
spray equipment and instil in them an understanding of the basic safety protocols
associated with their use. Through this exercise, we gained hands-on experience with the
calibration process, which is a critical aspect of ensuring that spray equipment applies
agricultural chemicals at the correct rates, thereby maximizing efficiency and minimizing
waste and environmental contamination.

The results showed that proper calibration can significantly affect the performance of the
spray equipment. Initially, following the instructor's instructions adjusting the nozzle size
and pressure, we were able to achieve the desired performance, demonstrating the
importance of regular calibration checks to maintain device accuracy.

The implications of proper calibration are far-reaching. In agricultural settings, an incorrect

application rate can lead to suboptimal pest control, reduced crop yields and increased
costs due to wasted chemicals. In addition, excessive application can lead to environmental
pollution and potential health risks to agricultural workers and nearby communities. By
ensuring that sprayers are properly calibrated, we can contribute to sustainable
agricultural practices and protect human health and the environment.

Safety was a central theme throughout the practice, with a strong emphasis on the use of
personal protective equipment (PPE) and the safe handling of chemicals. We learned that
even with chemicals of low toxicity, adherence to safety protocols is non-negotiable. This
experience highlighted the real risks facing agricultural workers and the importance of
prioritizing safety in all operations.

The skills learned during this practical are directly applicable to the real world of
agriculture. Farmers and agricultural professionals must routinely calibrate their spray
equipment to meet regulations and best practices. Our hands-on experience with
calibration and safety protocols will undoubtedly prove useful in a future career in
agriculture.

While our practice has provided a solid foundation, we have also identified areas for
improvement. For example, some students experienced problems interpreting calibration
data, which indicated the need for additional training in data analysis. In addition, the
practice can be extended to include more complex scenarios that simulate real-world
conditions, such as device calibration for different crop shelters or terrain.

In conclusion, Practical 4 not only equipped us with the technical skills to calibrate spray
equipment but also reinforced the importance of safety in agricultural operations. The
knowledge gained will be helpful in our future efforts to promote the responsible and
efficient use of spraying technology in agriculture

Conclusion

In conclusion, this practical spray calibration shows that students were effectively
introduced to calibrating spraying equipment through practical spray calibration, which
also strongly emphasised safety procedures. To promote safe and sustainable agriculture,
students were taught the value of precise calibration for effective chemical application and
how to use personal protective equipment.
