Acemain - Acephate 75% SP - ADAMA

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

• 🐛  Sucking and chewing pest activity: Offers an insect-control option for permitted pests with different feeding habits.
  
• 🍃  Systemic movement: The ingredient can move within plant tissue after uptake. This does not cure viral disease or repair existing feeding damage.
  
• 🌾  Defined crop scope: Keeps cotton, rice and safflower uses distinct rather than extending the product to every crop.
  
• ⚖️  Measurable powder formulation: The commercial product is measured as a powder and prepared using its own directions, not a liquid dose or another strength.
  

Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action

1. Movement within plant tissue: The systemic active ingredient can be taken up and move within the plant. The application route must still match the crop directions.
   
2. Nerve-message clearance is blocked: Acephate inhibits acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme involved in clearing an insect nerve signal.
   
3. Normal insect function is disrupted: Nerve messages persist when they should stop, disturbing normal movement and other functions in susceptible insects.
   

Account for IRAC Group 1B in previous and planned treatments. A different organophosphate brand is not automatically a different mode of action. Systemic activity does not guarantee a fixed control duration or make the treatment harmless to beneficial insects.

Target Crops & Pests

Use this crop-and-pest checklist to match the proposed treatment to your current Acemain pack. Apply only where that exact crop and pest are permitted. Do not extend the list to vegetables, tobacco or other crops, or combine different pest uses into one assumed rate.

Dosage & Application Guide

Crop-Specific Pest & Application Checks

Identify the target pest and establish the complete Acemain crop directions before treatment: product amount, water volume, application route, crop stage, first-treatment condition and harvest interval. Cotton jassids and bollworms are separate targets and must not be treated as one universal rate.

Use directions for acephate 75% SP, not 95% SG, 97% DF or a mixture. Prepare only the quantity needed with suitable measuring equipment. A missing harvest value is not zero days, and a harvest interval is not a repeat-spray interval or worker re-entry time.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Scout before deciding: Identify the crop and pest rather than treating every insect alike. Obtain the pack’s permitted treatment conditions; do not assume an early-pest or threshold trigger that is not stated there.
  
• Confirm the exact strength: Read Acemain acephate 75% SP on the container. The same quantity of a higher-strength acephate product is not equivalent.
  
• Measure and prepare correctly: Follow the crop-specific product amount, dilution, mixing and application method. Use separate measuring equipment and the required protection.
  
• Protect non-target organisms: Keep treatment away from people, animals, water and non-target areas. Follow the pack’s bee and beneficial-organism restrictions; no harmlessness claim is implied.
  
• Check weather and equipment: Follow the current pack’s weather, drift, equipment and cleaning precautions. Systemic movement does not establish a nozzle, spray volume or alternate route.
  
• Keep records and mixture permission: Record crop, pest and treatment date, and follow harvest, re-entry and further-use limits. Use a mixture only when both current labels permit the proposed combination for the crop and use.
