Description:

AGRIVENTURE ACETE is a highly effective, broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide widely used to control a variety of sucking and chewing pests in crops like cotton, paddy, sugarcane, and vegetables. It utilizes a triple-mode action (contact, stomach, and systemic) to eliminate pests quickly and provide long-lasting control.

Technical content: Acephate 75% SP

Key Features & Benefits:

• Triple-Mode Action: Works via contact, stomach, and systemic action. It enters the plant's vascular system to protect new growth and reach hidden or undersurface pests.
• Broad-Spectrum Control: Highly effective against a wide variety of pests including aphids, jassids, whiteflies, thrips, stem borers, and caterpillars.
• Quick Knockdown & Residual Control: Disrupts the pest's nervous system for rapid paralysis and death, while providing extended residual protection for up to 10–21 days.
• Water-Soluble Formula (SP): The 75% formulation dissolves completely in water, leaving no oily residue and ensuring even spray coverage.
• Crop Versatility: Safely applied to a broad range of agricultural and horticultural crops, including cotton, paddy (rice), chillies, sugarcane, and citrus trees.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Friendly: When used correctly, it minimizes harm to beneficial predatory insects and pollinators.

Crops suitability:

• Cash Crops: Cotton, sugarcane, and tobacco.
• Vegetables & Spices: Chillies, cabbage, cauliflower, and various seasonal vegetables.
• Cereals & Pulses: Rice (paddy), wheat, and assorted grain legumes.
• Oilseeds: Safflower, groundnuts, and soybeans.
• Fruits: Suitable for a variety of orchard and horticultural fruits.

Commonly used for (Insect / Diseases):

• Sucking Pests: Aphids, jassids, thrips, and whiteflies.
• Boring Insects: Stem borers, fruit & shoot borers, and pod borers.
• Chewing Pests: Bollworms, diamondback moth, leaf folders, and leafhoppers.

Mode of entry:

• Systemic Action: Absorbed by the plant's roots and foliage, transporting the chemical through the sap to kill insects feeding on the plant.
• Contact Action: Instantly controls pests when sprayed directly on them.
• Stomach Action: Kills the insect when it consumes the treated plant tissue.

Mode of action:

• Nerve Disruption (Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition): Acephate acts as an AChE inhibitor. It disrupts the breakdown of acetylcholine in the insect's nervous system, causing continuous nerve stimulation, paralysis, and eventual death.

Mode of application: Foliar spray

Dose: 20 - 25gm in 15-liter water
