How It Works: Mode of Action
Acetamiprid acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system. The manufacturer describes Sharp as systemic with translaminar activity.
- Plant movement: The manufacturer describes movement within the plant and across treated leaves.
- Nerve signalling: Acetamiprid disrupts signalling at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in susceptible insects.
- Target-pest effect: The disruption contributes to control of labelled sucking pests.
A mode-of-action group is not a guarantee against resistance. Use the current crop-specific label and an appropriate resistance-management plan; do not simply repeat the same mode of action.
Target Crops & Pests
The manufacturer crop list is retained below. Pest pairings are from the matching September 2025 government formulation reference unless specifically noted; verify each pairing on the current Sharp pack.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |

The broad manufacturer description mentions thrips and tea mosquito bug but does not pair them with an additional crop. No tea recommendation or cotton-thrips programme is inferred. Historical cabbage, okra, chilli and rice rows are not presented as Sharp label extensions.
Dosage & Application Guide
September 2025 formulation reference only, not a complete current Sharp label. The manufacturer prints 20–40 g without an area denominator. These numbers are not automatically treated as grams per acre.
Historical Formulation Reference per Acre
| Crop | Target programme | Product / acre | Water / acre | Waiting period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Aphids; jassids | 20.2 g | 202.3–242.8 L | 15 days |
| Cotton | Whiteflies | 40.5 g | 202.3–242.8 L | 15 days |
Original hectare quantities: Cotton (aphids; jassids): 50 g/ha; water 500–600 L/ha; waiting period 15 days; Cotton (whiteflies): 100 g/ha; water 500–600 L/ha; waiting period 15 days.
Acre quantities are rounded from the original per-hectare values using 1 acre = 0.40468564224 hectare. A listed waiting period is historical reference information, not confirmation of the current brand PHI. “Not stated” does not mean zero or not required.
Confirm the current Sharp product rate, application method, water, crop stage, harvest interval and repeat limits before treatment. No unverified tank dose, mixing partner, adjuvant or repeat schedule is recommended.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check crop and target: Match the exact formulation, crop and pest with the supplied label; do not transfer a programme from another crop.
- Verify the full programme: Resolve the current product rate, method, timing, water and harvest interval before measuring or mixing.
- Use only the authorised method: Use the equipment, dilution and mixing sequence specified for this exact brand and crop. Do not infer a route solely from the formulation code.
- Protect and record: Follow the pack’s protective-equipment and environmental precautions. Record the application and observe harvest and re-entry restrictions.
