Acephate
Description :
Overview of Acephate
Acephate is a systemic organophosphate insecticide widely used in agriculture to control a broad spectrum of pests, including aphids, thrips, whiteflies, leafhoppers, and caterpillars. It acts by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase in insects, disrupting their nervous system and effectively controlling infestations.
In crop protection, Acephate is valued for its systemic action, quick knockdown effect, and broad-spectrum efficacy, making it suitable for vegetables, fruits, cereals, and ornamental plants. Its compatibility with integrated pest management (IPM) programs allows farmers to maintain pest control while minimising impact on beneficial insects.
ChemicalBull supplies high-purity Acephate suitable for agrochemical formulation, ensuring consistent performance, regulatory compliance, and reliable supply for manufacturers and distributors.
