Item description
Madrid Insecticide by AgroStar | 250 g
Madrid is a systemic insecticide containing acetamiprid 20% SP. Its soluble powder formulation is used as a foliar spray for the specified sucking pests in cotton, cabbage, okra, chilli and rice. This listing is the 250 g pack.
What it controls: Cotton aphids, jassids and whiteflies; cabbage and okra aphids; chilli thrips; rice brown planthopper.
Before choosing treatment: Identify the crop and pest and confirm the complete crop-specific programme, including the first-treatment timing.
Before spraying: Keep product weight, water, spray method, timing and harvest restrictions together. Pack weight is not a tank dose.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌿 Systemic activity: Acetamiprid is taken up by treated plants and acts against the labelled insect pests.
- 🎯 Defined sucking-pest coverage: Each listed pest is paired with its crop, rather than presented as an all-crop recommendation.
- 💧 Soluble powder formulation: SP is a powder formulation prepared with water for foliar spraying; measure product by weight, not by liquid volume.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Madrid contains the single active ingredient acetamiprid, a neonicotinoid in IRAC Group 4A. It is an insecticide, not a treatment for viral disease itself.
- Plant uptake: The leaflet describes systemic activity. Apply evenly; plant movement does not replace adequate spray coverage.
- Insect nerve signalling: Acetamiprid acts at insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, disrupting normal nervous-system function.
- Resistance management: Use the IRAC group when planning rotations with a qualified crop adviser. Switching to another Group 4A brand does not provide a different mode of action.
Use only the specified crop and pest combinations. Control of a listed insect does not establish approval for every sucking pest or a claim to cure leaf curl, yellow vein mosaic or another virus disease.

Dosage & Application Guide
Before preparing Madrid, confirm the complete current crop-specific directions with a qualified crop adviser. Keep the formulated product quantity, water, treatment basis, first-spray timing and harvest restrictions together. An isolated rate or pack size is not a complete spray instruction.
Application Requirements
- Product quantity: Use the formulated product quantity for the exact crop, target and treatment basis on the current supplied label. Pack size does not establish the application rate.
- Water and coverage: Keep the product and water quantities with the correct foliar method. Do not create a universal per-litre or per-pump recipe from an isolated area rate or concentration.
- First-treatment timing: Confirm the permitted crop stage and pest trigger before preparing the spray. Contact, systemic or knockdown activity does not establish when treatment should start.
- Further treatment: Follow the current crop-specific repeat interval and application limits. A frequency statement does not replace first-treatment directions.
- Harvest interval (PHI): Observe the crop-specific interval from the final spray to harvest. Confirm it before treatment; do not assume an unstated interval is zero.
- Worker entry: Follow the separate worker-entry restrictions and protective measures. The harvest interval does not replace them.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the pest: Match each crop to its listed insect. The cotton whitefly recommendation does not automatically apply to whiteflies on another crop.
- Confirm all directions first: Resolve product weight, water quantity, first-spray timing, further-treatment limits, harvest and worker-entry restrictions before preparing the spray.
- Measure the powder: Weigh the required formulated product accurately and prepare it with the matched water quantity according to the current supplied label. Do not use kitchen utensils or mix with bare hands.
- Use suitable foliar equipment: The leaflet lists knapsack, foot, compression-knapsack, battery-operated compression-knapsack and ASPEE-HTP power sprayers. Calibrate suitable equipment for uniform coverage and avoid drift.
- Check the exact tank mix: AgroStar describes compatibility with most chemicals. This is not approval for every pesticide, fertiliser or adjuvant: confirm the proposed partner and both labels before mixing.
- Keep frequency separate from timing: Follow the current crop-specific directions for the first spray and any further treatment. A duration-of-effect claim is not a repeat-spray interval.
- Record entry and harvest limits: Record the crop and spray date. Keep the crop-specific interval between the last spray and harvest, and follow the separate worker-entry requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which pests does Madrid cover?
The leaflet lists aphids, jassids and whiteflies in cotton; aphids in cabbage and okra; thrips in chilli; and brown planthopper in rice. Keep each target paired with its own crop.
2. Does Madrid cure leaf curl or yellow vein mosaic?
No virus-cure claim is made here. Madrid is an insecticide for the labelled crop-pest pairs, not a treatment for the virus itself. Diagnose the problem before choosing treatment.
3. Is the 250 g pack a fixed tank or acre dose?
No. Pack weight is the sale quantity. Determine product and water quantities from the complete crop-specific directions and actual treatment area. Do not assume a packet equals one tank or one acre.
4. Can I mix it with any chemical or repeat it on a calendar schedule?
No blanket mix or repeat schedule is implied. AgroStar describes broad compatibility, but check the exact partner and both labels. Confirm first-treatment timing and any permitted repeat separately; an effect-duration claim does not set a spray interval.
5. What should I check before harvest?
Confirm the current supplied label’s crop-specific interval between the final spray and harvest before treating. Do not assume an unstated interval is zero, and do not use the harvest interval as a worker-entry rule.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current supplied pack label and leaflet. Match the crop, pest, formulation, product quantity, water, method, first-treatment timing and harvest interval. Use only as directed for agriculture. This overview is not a complete spray programme, does not replace the label and does not authenticate an individual pack.
The Madrid safety data sheet lists serious eye irritation, possible skin allergy and suspected carcinogenicity. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Wear the label-specified protective clothing, suitable chemical-resistant gloves, boots, eye or face protection and respiratory protection where required. Avoid contact with the mouth, skin and eyes and do not breathe dust or spray mist. Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew while mixing or spraying. Wash exposed skin and contaminated clothing after work. Keep children, animals and unprotected people away and follow the current supplied-label worker-entry restrictions.
Protect water sources: the safety data sheet warns of aquatic toxicity. Prevent product, drift, spills, runoff and equipment washings from entering drains, ponds, streams or other water sources.
Store the powder dry and tightly closed in its original container in a cool, well-ventilated, locked place away from food, animal feed and their containers. Do not reuse empty packs. Follow the current label and authorised local disposal requirements without contaminating soil or water.
If exposure or illness occurs, stop work and obtain urgent medical advice with the container, label or safety data sheet. Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected skin with soap and water. Do not induce vomiting or attempt an antidote treatment yourself.
