- ⏳ High Solubility Formulation: The 75% SP powder dissolves completely in water without clogging nozzles, ensuring an even spread across your field.
- ?️ Excellent Rainfastness: Rapid absorption means the product is rain-safe within 4 to 6 hours after application.
- ? Crop Safety: Free from harsh solvents found in EC formulations, making it safer for young plants and reducing the risk of leaf burn.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
Striker works by targeting the nervous system of the insect. It is an Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor.
- Systemic Entry: Once sprayed, the powder dissolves and enters the plant leaf through the cuticle. It travels upward and across the leaf tissue.
- Bio-Activation: Inside the insect's body, Acephate converts into a more potent metabolite called Methamidophos, supercharging its killing power.
- Nerve Paralysis: It blocks the enzyme responsible for calming nerve signals. This causes the insect to tremble (jitters), become paralyzed, and die from exhaustion.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the Economic Threshold Level (e.g., when you see 5% dead hearts in rice). Important: Do NOT spray during flowering, as it is toxic to honeybees.
- Mixing: Dissolve the required quantity of Striker in a small amount of water first, then add to the tank. Avoid mixing with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulfur.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the foliage. For Rice, direct the spray toward the stem for better borer control.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Striker kill pest eggs?
Acephate is primarily effective against larvae and adults. However, its high systemic activity kills larvae immediately after they hatch and start feeding on the plant.
2. Can I mix Striker with fungicides?
Yes, it is compatible with most neutral insecticides and fungicides like Mancozeb. Do not mix with Copper Oxychloride or alkaline solutions.
3. Is this the same as "Striker" Spreader?
No. "Striker" by Nichino is an insecticide (poison). There is a different product on the market used as a silicon spreader. Always check the "Nichino" logo and the Blue Triangle mark.
4. Is it safe for Honeybees?
No, Acephate is toxic to bees. Avoid spraying when the crop is in full bloom or when bees are actively foraging.
5. How fast does it work?
It is absorbed rapidly. Pests typically stop feeding within hours, and mortality (death) occurs within 24 to 48 hours.
