I need to know dose of paraffin oil per lit or per 10 lit of water and how to use it as insecticide.

0.1-1% v/v (Article Use of paraffin oils in agriculture and beyond: back to the future
). That means 10-100ml in 10L. Use as a spray.

The dose of paraffin oil for pest control depends on the type of pest, the severity of the infestation, and the surface that is being treated. In general, a dilution of 1 part paraffin oil to 10 parts water is a good starting point.
i.e 1 lit of paraffin oil to 10 lit of water

The recommended concentration of paraffin oil in water typically ranges from 1% to 2%. This means you'll use 10 to 20 milliliters (ml) of paraffin oil per liter of water.

Paraffin oil can be used as a pesticide to control certain pests on plants. It may be works by suffocating the insects and disrupting their respiratory system. A common dilution ratio for paraffin oil is 2-5%. This means you'll use 2-5 parts of paraffin oil for every 100 parts of water.
