Product details
Hunk Insecticide by Rallis India
Acephate 95% SG for the listed crop–target uses.
What it controls: Listed rice borers, leaf folders and brown planthoppers; cotton jassids; chilli thrips and fruit borer.
When to use it: The Rallis formulation leaflet describes foliar use from seedling to maturity, subject to crop PHIs and pest pressure.
What to include: Use the matching crop programme and current pack directions. Do not add a sticker, fertiliser or pesticide without a verified recommendation.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌾Three rice pest targets: The supported rice scope includes stem borer, leaf folder and brown planthopper.
- 🌿Cotton jassid control: Cotton jassids are the specific cotton target; other cotton insects are not assumed covered.
- 🌶️Chilli pest coverage: The chilli programme includes thrips and fruit borer.
- 🥚Egg-stage activity: Rallis describes ovicidal activity. This does not justify extra pests, lower rates or additional applications.
- ⚙️Systemic organophosphate action: Acephate is a systemic insecticide in IRAC Group 1B; 95% SG must not be dosed as 75% SP.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand Name | Hunk Insecticide | Rallis India |
| Technical Name | Acephate 95% SG |
| IRAC MoA Code | Group 1B | acetylcholinesterase inhibitors |

| Formulation | SG | water-soluble granules |
| Toxicity Label | Follow the toxicity colour band, warning and protective-equipment directions on the current pack. |
How It Works: Mode of Action
- Systemic insecticide exposure: The Rallis formulation leaflet identifies systemic activity and a foliar application route.
- Acetylcholinesterase is inhibited: Acephate interferes with the enzyme that normally clears the nerve messenger acetylcholine.
- Nerve signalling becomes disrupted: The resulting overstimulation impairs susceptible insects. This Group 1B action is shared by other organophosphates.
Compare IRAC groups, not just brands, when planning resistance management. A different brand with the same active ingredient is not a different mode of action. Use only approved crop options and local resistance-management advice.

Dosage & Application Guide
The paired crop rates and high-volume foliar method below come from a Rallis Indian acephate 95% SG formulation leaflet with a blank brand-name field, not a verified current Hunk pack label. They agree with the 2025 CIBRC reference. Confirm the current Hunk pack and state restrictions before use.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 239.6 592 g/ha |
202.3 500 L/ha |
See note* | 30 |
| Cotton | 319.7 790 g/ha |
202.3 500 L/ha |
See note* | 18 |
| Chilli | 319.7 790 g/ha |
202.3 500 L/ha |
See note* | 7 |
*The leaflet supplies area rates, not an independent concentration, so no per-litre or tank dose is given.
The recorded re-entry interval is 24 hours. The leaflet describes 2–3 foliar sprays according to pest pressure, not a fixed calendar interval. The maturity-stage wording never overrides the crop PHI.
Acre figures are approximate conversions of the stated hectare quantities using 0.40468564224. Keep product and water paired. No per-litre or tank rate has been calculated from area rates.
PHI is the minimum time between the last treatment and harvest, not the worker re-entry interval. Follow current label and local restrictions; missing instructions must be resolved before application.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the pest: Confirm the crop and listed insect. Check local restrictions and the current pack before deciding on treatment.
- Use the documented route: The Rallis formulation leaflet specifies high-volume foliar spraying. Approved equipment examples include knapsack, compression, battery-operated, foot and ASPEE-HTP sprayers.
- Measure and dilute: Use the matching crop rate with 500 L/ha water. Calibrate the equipment and mix the measured formulation in the required water quantity.
- Choose safe conditions: Do not spray in rainy, windy or hot sunny conditions. Avoid aquaculture and active bee foraging.
- Plan re-entry and harvest: Observe 24-hour re-entry and the separate rice 30-day, cotton 18-day or chilli 7-day harvest interval. Do not use as a post-harvest treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is Hunk different from acephate 75% SP?Hunk is acephate 95% SG. Formulation strength and crop directions differ, so gram-for-gram substitution is not valid.
2. Does the cotton programme cover bollworms?No. The current Rallis Hunk product page and retrieved formulation leaflet list cotton jassids; the draft does not add bollworms.
3. What are the crop-specific harvest intervals?The Rallis formulation leaflet gives rice 30 days, cotton 18 days and chilli 7 days. Verify the current pack and local conditions before use.
4. Can it be used everywhere in India?No unrestricted all-India claim is made. Kerala’s 2023 Farm Guide lists acephate as restricted. Confirm the current state status and applicable conditions before local use.
5. Can I mix it with other products?No blanket tank-mix compatibility is established here. Use a mixture only when the current labels and qualified crop advice support it; a physical jar test alone does not prove crop safety or legal approval.
