Key Features Of Acephate 75SP

Overview

Acephate 75SP 660GM stands as a crucial ally for farmers dedicated to maintaining healthy crops.

The Importance of Pest Control

Pest management is a critical component of successful agriculture. Thrips and mites, though small, can cause significant damage:

• Thrips: These tiny insects feed on plant sap, causing discoloration and deformities in leaves and fruits. Heavy infestations can lead to stunted growth and lower crop quality.

• Mites: Mites also feed on plant cells, leading to stippling and leaf drop. They reproduce quickly, making them challenging to control once established.

How Acephate Works

Acephate is an organophosphate insecticide that acts systemically, meaning it is absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout its tissues. This mode of action allows Acephate to provide protection from within, targeting pests that feed on the plant. Here’s how it operates:

1. Absorption: Once applied, Acephate is absorbed by the plant roots and leaves.

2. Translocation: The active ingredient moves through the plant’s vascular system.

3. Inhibition of Feeding: When pests feed on treated plants, they ingest Acephate, leading to paralysis and death.

This systemic approach not only ensures that the product remains effective for longer periods but also reduces the likelihood of pests developing resistance.
