PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Acifa (Acephate 75% SP) is an organophosphate insecticide manufactured by Krishi Rasayan Group. Formulated as a water-soluble powder, it acts systemically as well as through contact and stomach poison modes. It is rapidly absorbed by plant foliage and roots, offering long-lasting systemic protection against a wide range of chewing and sap-sucking pests.
KEY BENEFITS
- Dual Action Protection: Combines systemic absorption with contact and stomach toxicity to effectively control both surface and hidden pests.
- Quick Knockdown & Residual Control: Delivers rapid pest mortality along with sustained crop protection.
- Ovicidal Action: Effectively affects insect eggs, breaking the pest reproduction cycle.
- High Solubility: Soluble Powder (SP) formulation dissolves completely in water without leaving residues in sprayer nozzles.
- Broad Tank-Mix Compatibility: Compatible with most commonly used crop protection products.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Wear full protective gear (gloves, face mask, eye goggles, boots) during handling, mixing, and spraying.
- Avoid inhalation of spray mist and direct skin contact. Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after application.
- Toxic to fish, aquatic organisms, and honeybees; avoid spraying near water bodies or during active pollinator foraging hours.
