Key Features & Benefits

Dual actives, complementary modes: Acephate (organophosphate; contact/stomach action) plus Imidacloprid (neonicotinoid; systemic) provide rapid knockdown and sustained protection through plant uptake.
Broad-spectrum control: Effective against a wide range of sucking pests and selected chewing pests/borers when used per label.
Good crop safety when label is followed: Designed for use on multiple crops — check crop registration and pre-harvest intervals on the pack.
Flexible use: Can be incorporated into integrated pest management (IPM) programs; rotate with other MOA groups to delay resistance.

Recommended Crops & Target Pests (Representative)

Applicable crops and pests vary by local registration — always confirm from product label. Typical crop groups include:

Vegetables: aphids, whiteflies, jassids, thrips (and other labelled pests)
Cotton: sucking pests and some chewing pests as per label
Paddy: select sucking pests and leaf feeders where registered
Fruits & ornamentals: aphids, leafminers and other registered targets

Application Guidance

Always follow the product label — the label lists registered crops, target pests, application rates, number of applications, and pre-harvest intervals (PHI).
Use as a foliar spray ensuring uniform canopy coverage for best results.
Apply at the early stage of infestation for optimal control of nymphs/larvae.
Observe recommended re-entry intervals and PHIs printed on the pack before harvesting or allowing workers into treated fields.
Do not use unregistered tank mixes — check compatibility and perform a small jar test if in doubt.
