Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
- Systemic uptake: Acephate is absorbed by treated plant tissue.
- Nerve-action target: As an IRAC Group 1B insecticide, it inhibits acetylcholinesterase in susceptible insects.
- Labelled pest management: Exposure through correctly treated crop surfaces and plant tissue helps control the pests listed on the approved label.
For resistance management, rotate with suitable insecticides from a different IRAC group where the crop label and local advice permit. Another Acephate or Group 1B product is not a different-mode rotation partner.
How to applyRegistered Crops, Pests & Application Rates
The golden rule: Follow the supplied Acemain label. Rates below are expressed per hectare and must not be converted to a per-litre dose without the label's spray-volume directions.
| Crop | Labelled Pest(s) | Acephate 75% SP | Water Volume | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Jassids | 390 g/ha | 500–1,000 L/ha | 15 days |
| Cotton | Bollworms | 780 g/ha | 500–1,000 L/ha | 15 days |
| Safflower | Aphids | 780 g/ha | 500–1,000 L/ha | 15 days |
| Rice (Paddy) | Yellow stem borer, leaf folder, plant hoppers and green leafhopper | 666–1,000 g/ha; confirm the exact rate on the supplied label | 300–500 L/ha | 15 days |
PHI means pre-harvest interval: the minimum time between the last application and harvest. The physical pack label is the controlling instruction.
How to applyApplication & Safety Best Practices
- Confirm the target: Use only for the crop, pest and rate shown on the supplied label.
- Measure accurately: Calibrate the sprayer and use the labelled water volume; do not estimate a per-litre dose from the table.
- Wear PPE: Follow all pack-label requirements for protective clothing, gloves, eye and respiratory protection.
- Avoid exposure: Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling. Avoid skin contact and inhalation, and wash thoroughly after use.
- Protect the environment: Keep spray, washings and containers away from water sources. Store and dispose of the product exactly as directed on the label.
