Harrier Insecticide | Acetamiprid 20% SP
A systemic insecticide with translaminar activity for specified sucking pests in cotton, cabbage, okra,
chilli and rice.
Pest focus: Crop-specific aphids, jassids, whiteflies, thrips and brown
planthopper, rather than every insect found in a field.
Movement in the plant: Systemic activity and movement through treated leaves
support its sucking-pest role.
Before applying: Confirm the particular crop, pest, first treatment timing, method
and harvest restriction together.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌿 Systemic activity: The active ingredient
moves within the plant, supporting control of susceptible sucking insects.
-
🍃 Translaminar action: Movement through
treated leaf tissue adds activity beyond the directly contacted leaf surface.
-
🎯 Contact and feeding action: Acts through
contact and ingestion, providing two ways for susceptible insects to encounter the active ingredient.
-
🌾 Crop-matched sucking-pest options: Its
listed uses cover selected pests in cotton, vegetables and rice, with distinct directions for each crop and pest.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Reaches susceptible insects: Systemic and translaminar movement, together with contact and stomach action, provide routes of
exposure for susceptible sucking pests.
-
Acts on nerve receptors: Acetamiprid acts at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors involved in insect nerve signalling.
-
Disrupts normal nerve activity: The resulting nervous-system disturbance leads to paralysis and death in susceptible insects; it
does not establish an exact visible knockdown time.
Systemic activity does not authorize a soil drench, seed treatment or irrigation application. It also does not
guarantee a fixed protection period or control of every insect. Changing to another Group 4A brand alone does not change the
resistance-management group.

Dosage & Application Guide
Confirm the crop-specific first treatment
Identify the sucking pest and obtain the first application timing and permitted method for that exact crop–pest
combination. Field monitoring helps identify the problem, but a generic infestation trigger cannot replace Harrier’s crop-specific
instructions. Do not assume a spray, drench or seed-treatment programme from the formulation name.
Before measuring product, confirm the product quantity, dilution water, equipment, preparation, first timing
and harvest restriction as one set of directions. Do not copy another acetamiprid brand’s programme or calculate a dose from pack
size. A pre-harvest interval is the minimum time from the final treatment to harvest. A missing interval is not a zero-day interval.
Harvest restrictions, worker re-entry periods and repeat-treatment intervals are separate requirements.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the actual pest: Distinguish aphids, jassids, whiteflies, thrips and brown planthopper. Obtain qualified crop advice if
the cause of damage is uncertain.
-
Use the exact formulation directions: Check acetamiprid 20% SP and the Harrier label, rather than substituting a different strength
or formulation.
-
Confirm timing before mixing: Use the crop–pest-specific first application timing and method. Do not transfer a trigger from
another pest row.
-
Prepare and apply as directed: Follow the specified equipment, coverage and weather precautions. Prevent drift, runoff and
contamination of nearby crops and water.
-
Record separate restrictions: Record the field, crop, pest, area, product and date. Observe harvest, re-entry and repeat-use
restrictions separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which pests is Harrier intended for?
Specified sucking pests: cotton aphids, jassids and whiteflies; cabbage and okra aphids; chilli thrips; and
rice brown planthopper, subject to the supplied product label.
2. What does translaminar mean?
It describes movement through treated leaf tissue. It does not remove the need for the correct application
method and coverage.
3. Does systemic activity mean I can use a drench?
No. Use only the application method permitted for the exact crop and pest on the supplied Harrier label.
4. Can the same timing and dose be used for every sucking pest?
No. Keep crop and pest directions separate, including where more than one pest is listed for cotton.
5. Can I tank-mix Harrier with another product?
Only when both current labels permit the exact products, crop and application method. Do not assume that a
fertilizer, adjuvant or another pesticide can be added simply because it can be physically mixed.
