Acaricide

Acaricides are pesticides that kill members of the arachnid subclass Acari, which includes ticks and mites.

See Dimethoate and Acaricide

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) also often called cholinesterase inhibitors, inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase from breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline and acetate, thereby increasing both the level and duration of action of acetylcholine in the central nervous system, autonomic ganglia and neuromuscular junctions, which are rich in acetylcholine receptors. Dimethoate and acetylcholinesterase inhibitor are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

See Dimethoate and Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor

American Cyanamid

American Cyanamid Company was an American manufacturing conglomerate.

See Dimethoate and American Cyanamid

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) is the Australian Government statutory agency responsible for the management and regulation of all agricultural and veterinary chemical products in Australia.

Bactrocera tryoni

Bactrocera tryoni, the Queensland fruit fly, is a species of fly in the family Tephritidae in the insect order Diptera.

See Dimethoate and Bactrocera tryoni

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting primarily of the brain and spinal cord.

See Dimethoate and Central nervous system

Cholinesterase

The enzyme cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8, choline esterase; systematic name acylcholine acylhydrolase) catalyses the hydrolysis of choline-based esters: Several of these serve as neurotransmitters.

See Dimethoate and Cholinesterase

Enzyme

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions.

See Dimethoate and Enzyme

Fenthion

Fenthion is an organothiophosphate insecticide, avicide, and acaricide. Dimethoate and Fenthion are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and organophosphate insecticides.

See Dimethoate and Fenthion

Insecticide

Insecticides are pesticides used to kill insects.

See Dimethoate and Insecticide

Malathion

Malathion is an organophosphate insecticide which acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Dimethoate and Malathion are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, organophosphate insecticides and Phosphorodithioates.

See Dimethoate and Malathion

Omethoate

Omethoate (C5H12NO4PS) is a systemic organophosphorous insecticide and acaricide available as a soluble concentrate. Dimethoate and Omethoate are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and organophosphate insecticides.

See Dimethoate and Omethoate

Organophosphate

In organic chemistry, organophosphates (also known as phosphate esters, or OPEs) are a class of organophosphorus compounds with the general structure, a central phosphate molecule with alkyl or aromatic substituents.

See Dimethoate and Organophosphate

Pascal (unit)

The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI).

See Dimethoate and Pascal (unit)

Tephritidae

The Tephritidae are one of two fly families referred to as fruit flies, the other family being the Drosophilidae.

See Dimethoate and Tephritidae
