Krishikranti Atank Acephate 75% SP | Systemic Organophosphate Insecticide for Aphid, Jassid, Bollworm & Stem Borer Control in Cotton, Paddy, Vegetables & Pulses

What is Acephate 75% SP?

Acephate 75% SP is a broad-spectrum systemic organophosphate insecticide in soluble powder form for control of sucking, chewing, and boring pests in cotton, paddy, vegetables, pulses, and oilseeds. 

Krishikranti Atank Acephate 75% SP delivers triple-action control  contact, stomach, and systemic. It is absorbed by leaves and roots and translocated through the plant reaching hidden pests inside curled leaves, stems, and on the underside of foliage where sprays cannot reach.

How Acephate 75% SP Works

Acephate works by inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme in the pest's nervous system  causing nerve signal disruption, paralysis, and death. It operates through three simultaneous modes:

Why systemic action matters:  Acephate is also metabolised inside the plant into Methamidophos  a more potent active ingredient, which extends control duration. This dual-active behaviour gives 10–14 days of residual protection per spray.
