InsecticidesHunk Insecticide (Acephate 95% SG) - Tata Rallis
Advanced Systemic Pest Control for Paddy, Cotton, and Chilli
Hunk Insecticide by Rallis India (a Tata Enterprise) is a high-performance evolution of traditional pest control. By upgrading to a 95% Soluble Granule (SG) formulation, Hunk delivers a powerful concentration of Acephate that dissolves instantly and penetrates crops rapidly.
It is the go-to solution for farmers targeting tough sucking and chewing pests like Brown Plant Hoppers (BPH), Stem Borers, and Bollworms. Unlike older powders, Hunk is designed to be dust-free, low-odor, and highly effective, offering triple-action protection at an affordable price.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
Hunk uses a powerful mechanism to stop pests by attacking their nervous system.
- Systemic Distribution: Upon spraying, Hunk is absorbed by plant roots and leaves. It travels through the xylem (sap), reaching even untreated new growth and hiding pests.
- Enzyme Inhibition: It inhibits Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an essential enzyme in the insect nervous system.
- Bio-Activation: Inside the pest, Acephate converts into Methamidophos, a potent metabolite that causes paralysis and rapid death of the insect.
Note: It acts on pests via direct contact (spraying), stomach action (chewing leaves), and systemic action (sucking sap).

How to applyDosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy | 225 - 300 g | 200 L | 1.5 g | 30 Days |
| Cotton | 300 - 316 g | 200 L | 1.5 g | 18 Days |
| Chilli | 300 - 316 g | 200 L | 1.5 g | 7 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting to ensure residues are below safety limits.
Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the first sign of pest incidence (ETL levels) or when moth activity is observed. For BPH, early application is key.
- Mixing: Ensure granules are fully dissolved in water before spraying. Hunk mixes easily due to its 95% SG formulation.
- Coverage: Use a minimum of 200 Litres of water per acre. Use hollow cone nozzles for fine misting to ensure thorough leaf coverage.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during active bee foraging hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use Hunk on Basmati Rice for export?
No. Due to strict Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) in the EU and USA, Acephate is generally not recommended for export-oriented Basmati rice. It is best for domestic market crops.
2. How does Hunk handle pest resurgence in Paddy?
Acephate can sometimes cause BPH resurgence if used alone repeatedly. For best results, mix Hunk with an IGR like Applaud (Buprofezin) to break the pest cycle and prevent resurgence.
3. Is Hunk rain-fast?
Yes, Hunk is highly soluble and absorbs rapidly into the plant system, making it rain-fast within a few hours of application.
4. Can I mix Hunk with other pesticides?
Hunk is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. However, avoid mixing it with highly alkaline substances (like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulfur) as this reduces efficacy.
5. What is the difference between Hunk (SG) and Asataf (SP)?
Hunk is a 95% concentrated Soluble Granule, whereas Asataf is a 75% Soluble Powder. Hunk offers higher potency, less dust, better solubility, and reduced odor compared to the older SP formulation.
